![]() ![]() Neither was switching to a much older Wine engine. While you can configure Wine to report the OS version as Windows 95, that was no help in this case. It supposedly worked in Windows 95, but not in later versions of Windows. It turned out that in my case, it was a bug in the game itself – an incompatibility with Windows XP. In my case, nothing returned any results. If this happens, one possible solution is to go to the Wine HQ application compatibility database and search for the game, or for the publisher, or the original Japanese title, or even the original developer. All we can tell from this is that the failure happened when the program tried to read an address that it couldn’t. A Windows dialog pop up for “encountered a serious error” appears, and we are forced out of the program. Starting up our game, we see a title screen and a couple notes of music! Then, it crashes. Now you can double-click the M圜oolSoftware.app in Finder, to launch your game.Taking a guess, we select GAMENAME.EXE in its top folder, as the executable that will start our program. In our case, because we suspect the EXE we have is the game itself rather than the installer, we choose ‘Copy Folder Inside’ to make a copy of the game within M圜oolSoftware.app. In the panel that appears, you must click ‘Install Software,’ even if the game is self-contained and doesn’t need an installer step.This seems like a bug, but that’s how it goes. And yet if you attempt to run it a second time, it works and you will now be presented with wrapper options. Nope! Mac OS X complains that it cannot be run. ![]() If you double-click on ~/Applications/Wineskin/M圜oolSoftware.app, you might expect the application to launch.Even without the additional components, the resulting empty wrapper is a whopping 166MB. For some games these might be unnecessary, but the fastest way to know is trial & error. NET games or Gecko for games with browser components. During creation of the wrapper/app bundle, you might be asked to install Mono for. In Winery, click “Create New Blank Wrapper” and give it a name, which will create a Mac OS X app bundle by the same name (e.g., “M圜oolSoftware.app”) at the end.I have a folder of files for the game that includes an EXE and some other stuff. ![]() I’ll use a silly imported Japanese game (for Windows 95 released 1996) as our example here.
