The macOS guest isn't loaded with extra bootloaders, but it is compatible with [OpenCore](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases). + +Tested on [Cygwin](https://cygwin.com/install.html). Works on macOS, Windows Subsystem for Linux, and centOS 7. Should work on most modern Linux distros. ### macOS Catalina (10.15), Mojave (10.14), and High Sierra (10.13) currently supported macOS Catalina version 10.15.2 and higher is only supported by VirtualBox version 6.1.4 and higher. A workaround for lower versions of VirtualBox which involves using earlier versions of `boot.efi` is [described in issue 134](https://github.com/myspaghetti/macos-guest-virtualbox/issues/134#issuecomment-583216307).
