Emulating Snow Leopard on Ryzen CPU
I have a Ryzen 5 3600 and an MSI B550-A Pro motherboard and when I setup a VM for Snow Leopard in VirtualBox I boot to iBoot and when I select my Snow Leopard ISO I get to the gray Apple screen for a split second before the kernel panics. How can I fix this?

Re: Emulating Snow Leopard on Ryzen CPU
You probably want to go to a Hackintosh forum to solve this one, as you're not actually emulating here, you're using a virtual machine and virtual hardware that's passed through to your actual hardware.
That said, I had similar issues with SL in VirtualBox on a modern Mac until I changed some of the EFI instructions I passed VirtualBox related to the presented CPU. The values to set are well documented now on a number of Hackintosh forums and a few VirtualBox-related places.
