EQ on Mac with Crossover
 
Hey, I am trying to run EQ on my Mac using crossover. I did the install which went alright but how do I make the changes to the files for P99 (eqchanges and the host.ini etc) and how do I change the "patchme" on the shortcut?

thanks

Well I figured it all out but I still have not figured out how to add the patchme to the shortcut. Im not sure if I even need it running it through CrossOver but I dont want to risk it then have to reinstall. Any help would be great.

Does anyone know how to run EQ on Mac OSX using CrossOver? I cant get it to not patch.

Bump.

There's no one who's using Crossover to run p99 on a Mac?? Come on! I'd really like to figure out how to do this also. I'm clueless with computers.
I've installed Crossover Games and have installed EQ titanium using a set of five CDs, but I have no idea how to carry out the list of adjustments required to launch emulator servers/p99 on a Mac.
Can anyone help us out?

Fixed to be helpful.

Hey thanks heaps for the translation Baigorn. The reason I, and probably others, want to use emulator, is because I don't have a spare copy of a windows OS lying around, and I'm cheap as hell.

So, if you run eqgame.exe without including "patchme" - what will happen? Do I need to reinstall and start fresh? Or can I delete files?

You should start fresh if the patcher ran and replaced any files.

I couldn't get P99 settings to run with CrossOver with OS X, however, I have the game running easily with Wine.

If there are those that are interested I can post my methodology and maybe we can expand on that?

At the moment I am having issues with maintaining a larger display, and trying to get the program to work in windowed mode with MOUSE movement.

Thoughts? Requests?

That would be AWESOME! Please post a guide to get Wine working, please!
