They did just that. The folder share is just for licensing as far as I can see.
- garaetjjte 4y agoI wonder how they handled TSO mode. Do they enable it for the whole VM? Otherwise I cannot see how it would safely work given they could be context-switched anytime by the guest kernel.
- my123 4y agoEither that or not relying on HW TSO, didn't evaluate yet which path they took between those two options.

- Dylan16807 4y agoHuh? Are you saying it can't toggle? Are you saying that it's always on for VMs?
- rfoo 4y agoAlways on for VMs with the emulator shared filesystem attached. That's... a weird way for coding a feature flag, but I guess it "just works".
- kalleboo 4y agoAccording to Twitter, as soon as you attach the Rosetta volume it switches TSO to on
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoThat's super neat! I wonder if the "licensing trick" could be patched out some day, for use in e.g. Asahi Linux.
