  • Whisky is no longer actively maintained

    > Does something like Whisky work in the new macOS Apple Silicon world?

    From what I understand, Whisky only works with macOS Sonoma and Sequoia anyway.

    Kegworks [1] works with Mavericks and Ventura, and WineBottler before that.

    I've just finished both campaigns (and moving on to Firestorm!) on my M1 Macbook by running the game through https://www.portingkit.com/ .

    It guides you through installation and wraps the game in Wine and other layers as its own .Application for running on both arm or intel macs.

    Also see https://github.com/Kegworks-App/Kegworks (the upstream tech leveraged by Porting Kit) which i've used for various modern games to great effect.

    I used Wineskin to port them both to MacOS and the https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-run-windows-apps-on-your-mac web page as a guide. I just used a regular windows .ico file to change the icon in the guide. Somehow converting the .ico as it is stated in the guide did not work for me. You can download Wineskin Winery from (https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer) and use manual installation. They both needed .NET framework. That was easy with the Winetricks to find the .NET frameworks under DLL section and then run them. 1st program needed to access network shares in the domain but the link was in windows format (\\ServerName\ShareName\Folder).

    Can anyone demonstrate to me how to fix the slo-mo issue in Horizon: Zero Dawn that slows down the game speed. I am aware of the GitHub article here: https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer/issues/424 although I am unaware of how to perform the registry tasks that is required to fix the issue.

    I do play on an M2 Mac via Wineskin. Works great.
  • Any way to run .exe files on Mac?

    I use this wrapper for WINE. That it "doesn't seem to work" when you use what you've installed from the command line doesn't tell us much. What did you do after installing it? What happened?
