If you are willing to spend some time on research it is possible to get it working under wine. I did a few months back - the only limitation is it must run in window mode.

On my version 2 MacBook Pro I have installed Window Xp pro SP2 using bootcamp and have loaded p99 no problem.
One thing to note: I had to right click the EQ icon and change 'compatability mode' to 98 or 2000 (from xp mode). Without doing this, the game was very choppy and sped up (I am guessing a dual core problem). | ||

Try this:
7. Select the bottle with EQ installed into it and then select the "Programs->Run Command" menu item. 8. Browse to the "Program Files\Sony\Everquest\eqgame.exe" file and click "OK". 9. Append "patchme" to the end of the command line path to eqgame.exe, AFTER the quotes 10. Click the "Add to Programs Menu" button. Now a new item called "eqgame" should show up in the Crossover Games shortcuts. | ||

I wouldn't bother with crossover especially if you're a bit of a noob like me. I have a new macbook pro and installing bootcamp was simple I currently play eq on my windows vista 64 bit partition. One thing to note is that while using windows your automatic fan control will not function correctly. This is remedied by installing SMC fan control on OSX (Which i recommend for any gaming being done on a mac) simply start the fan control on OSX restart computer fan control will still be working and just hold Alt key once you hear the mac noise select windows partition and you're good to go.
Suppose I should mention installing EQ on your windows partition using bootcamp is the exact same process as if you were doing it on a pure windows machine. | ||

Well I was able to get patchme in there but when i run it I get this error:
"Error in XML: Error in your GUI XML files. Check UIErrors.txt" In my UIErrors.txt is says: UIErrorLog created at Sun Apr 10 22:46:25 2011 [Sun Apr 10 22:46:25 2011] Warning: file EQLSUI.xml not found in directory UIFiles\default\.

It apparently cannot find or open mu EQLSUI.xl but I have it. It's contents look like this: <?xml version = "1.0"?> <!-- Monolithic Parameter File --> <!-- The composite section must come first and be followed by the schema --> <XML ID = "EQInterfaceDefinitionLanguage"> <Composite> <Include>SIDL.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_Animations.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_Templates.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_EulaWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_SOESplashWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_ESRBSplashWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_MainWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_ConnectWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_ServerSelectWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_ChatWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_ChatOptionsDialog.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_ColorPickerWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_CreditsWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_NewsWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_HelpWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_OKDialog.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_YesNoDialog.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_PollWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_OrderExpansionWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_WebOrderWnd.xml</Include> <Include>EQLSUI_SplashExWnd.xml</Include> </Composite> <Schema xmlns = "EverQuestData" xmlns:dt = "EverQuestDataTypes"/> </XML> All the xmls that it points to are also there so now I am at a stand still. Anyone have any more suggestions? The error file says that it could not open or READ. is it possible that a program that can read XML be installed in the same bottle? | ||

Since I had modified my UI's in my working version of EQ I decided to uninstall EQ and delete the directory and reinstall fresh. I did that and then added all the P99 changes and then copied the whole directory over from windows to Mac. I didnt install it in a bottle but instead did what Rael suggested and just ran the exe in crossover directly from my mac file system. I end up getting the same error as listed above [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
So I can play on boot camp still. I have tried VM fusion but emulating windows and runing EQ is a littel choppy for my old macbook and I can't use CrossOver. I know there are a few more programs like CrossOver. Can ayone suggest a few that have worked for them for EQ? Thanks again. | ||

corradojeff,
Were you able to patch the eqgame.exe file? I believe I ran the file, and it started to patch without adding the patchme being appended. This may have created a problem. I'm having difficulty in CrossOver in adding patchme to eqgame.exe and having the file load, I keep getting an error. Humm? Ideas? | ||
