There are numerous ways to create bootable USB installer for hackintosh, most of them are Chameleon based and Unibeast is just one of them. The installation process is quite simple if you bought your copy from App store. Download Unibeast and just follow tonymacx86 instructions and you are good to go. But you should consider that tonymacx86 is not an open source and therefore is not in OSx86 spirit. Also apparently he stole the code from qoopz , nawcom , AnV and few others that made the legacy kernel. Here is one great explanation why you should not use tonymacx86, and here is another.
But there is another way to install it and even more, it supports raw installESD.dmg instalation, it’s called myHack, it’s Chameleon based USB Instaler + after install utility. MyHack functionality is more less the same as Unibeast + Multibeast, just simplier and better…
When installing Mac OS X, it would be a good idea to use one extra hard disk drive for the installation, to preserve your old operating system, just in case something goes wrong.
Here is a tutorial on what you will need and how to install Mac OS X Mountain Lion on a windows pc/laptop using virtual box iAtkos.How to change screen Resol. To SATA port 1 (the first free one), attach 'InstallESD.dmg' from inside the Mountain Lion Installer package (right-click in the finder to show the package contents, and drag the.dmg to the file-picker dialog in VirtualBox). VirtualBox 4 supports DMG files natively, and InstallESD.dmg is bootable.
You will need USB stick, minimum 8GB, all the data will be erased, so back it up if needed and format back after finish installation.
Also working OS X SL 10.6.8 or Lion is needed to make a bootable Mountain Lion USB. (if u don’t already have a working OS X and using Windows, you can download, burn and temporary install iatkos L1 ISO image (search torrents) and install it like shown on this tutorial (drivers selection depends on your hardware).
Second option, if you are using Windows is to install Snow Leopard or Lion on a virtual machine (Virtual Box), and run Unibeast on there instead. Virtualbox Extension Pack will be also needed to view USB drives from vm. This method will probably not work if your computer uses an Ivy Bridge processor.
With working OS X SL or Lion you can buy and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. If you’ve already bought it you can navigate to the Purchased tab and grab it from here. Once it’s downloaded the Installer will pop up but instead of running it just close it.
Use myHack to create your bootable USB installer
Hello all and happy 2019!I'm new to Virtual Box and new the forums so please forgive me if I get something wrong here or appear dim.
I'm attempting to install Mountain Lion as a Guest with Sierra 10.12.6 as the host.
I've previously purchased Mountain Lion so I could download it from my Purchased list on the App Store.
I've located the installESD.dmg and copied it to the desktop for the installation process.
I get an error during the boot up process which reports:
Using 64-bit bootcache playlist
BootCacheControl: Unable to open var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory
(I have a screenshot, but this is my first post so I can't provide the link yet).The process pauses for a while but then seemsto boot fine.
The Mountain Lion install disk (InstallESD.dmg) works and the install options appear.I've checked and I can run Disk Utility, and Safari loads nicely.
Then I start the Mountain Lion installation.
All goes well until the process gets to 'Select the disk where you want to install OSX'.
No list of disks appears and the dialogue looks incomplete.

Many thanks
