macOS ISO Download Links
When I wanted to create a macOS VM, using this wonderful guide from i12bretro, I found it difficult to find the download links for the macOS ISOs. So I decided to create them myself, using MIST - macOS Installer Super Tool, or by manually converting the installer. I'm now sharing them here, so no one else has to face the same hassle.

[!IMPORTANT]
Due to Contabo limiting my bandwidth to only 100 Mbit/s because my STORAGE VPS is exceeding their set average bandwidth, I will soon be adding alternative download links. These will include torrents and platforms like Pixeldrain. Contabo did suggest an alternative, but it starts at €40/month with about 1/4 of the storage, so that definitely won't happen.

But you can of course also just browse the folder itself and download the ISOs from there.
FAQ ❓
Why not upload them using Github LFS?
With GitHub LFS, a "data pack" costs approximately €5 per month for 50GB of storage. The Storage-VPS I'm using also costs around 5€ per month, but with 800GB of SSD storage. So I decided to host the files myself.
Who needs these ISOs?
To create the ISOs, you need an existing macOS installation, which can be hard if you want to create a macOS VM. So these ISOs are for people who want to create a macOS VM, but don't have a macOS installation. (Like me)
I want an ISO that is not listed here, what can I do?
You can either create the ISO yourself, or open an issue and I will try to create the ISO for you as soon as possible.
How can I trust these ISOs?
You really can't. Other than me telling you that I created them using MIST and have not modified them in any way, there isn't a lot I can do to prove the integrity of these ISOs. But you can always create the ISOs yourself using MIST and compare the MD5 hashes. I mainly created this repo for myself anyways, so that I don't have to go trough the same struggle again.
