HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[Bearsnowls]

Hey guys;

Has anyone gotten an updated link for the wineskin? The one in the sticky (and the updated one) don't work. P99 is such a pain in the butt to get installed on my macbook!

I've read through the last couple pages and can't quite tell if anyone has p99 up and running on Catalina or higher...

Has anyone gotten wine+p99 running on Catalina? How about Big Sur?

This. I'm running BigSur 11.1, still having a miserable time trying to get P99 working w/ Wine. No clue what engine im supposed to use. Any thoughts?

if you're on an intel mac you could try running windows in virtualbox, boot camp, parallels, or vmware workstation

for m1 macs your only option is parallels currently

wine's support for 32bit binaries is shaky at the moment, but this might help: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_do_I..._bit_system.3F

Yup.
I'm on a new M1 Air, 8 core, 16GB ram.

Trying to get p99 to run, and having a **** of a time. homebrew, wine, crossover, def having some issues.

Installing goes easy -wine wise or via Crossover, but launching is def another matter altogether. I've yet to get it to launch after a week of trying.

Also; hello world.
First forum post. Nice to meet you all (^.^)

Any luck getting this to work?

I'm considering upgrading soon, and I'm thinking it'll mean I won't be able to play P99 anymore. :/

At this point in time, an M1 with P99 is probably a tough ask.

It's all quite new at the moment and P99 is a niche game, and playing on a mac is even more niche! Sorry to say.

You might have better luck on TAK project/P2002 (or whatever it's called) as they use a native mac client that should work fine with rosetta 2 translation.

The problem is that WINE doesn't work too well with M1 just yet (to my understanding)

Pro tip. Figure out what software you want to run in your life, then get the machine that runs that. The hardware before software marketing ploy is simply to separate you from your money.

For those that are curious, my research into wine/p99 and catalina+

Thanks freez, I’ve pretty much given up by now, I’ve tried like 3 or 4 hours figuring it out. I’m not very tech savvy. I’ll just wait to play when I fly home on my PC.
