Thank you for this! This lets me get another guest OS version out of my Mac Pro 2019 as far as development goes. It was very janky but did boot for me after I installed without adding the Apple GPU stuff to the vmx file. Everything is nice and smooth on my 16c/48/4TB/16GB W5700X run 14.1.
I get why Apple has gone to Apple Silicon but I really do like my Mac Pro. It was expensive but it's also the last expandable Mac from Apple, and it will natively boot Windows 10/11 and its run my whole business for a few years already.
Hopefully someone at VMware keeps this alive at least as long as Apple provides support.
