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 is not possible yet as one of two things needs to happened:

1. Codeweavers needs to make an update to their modified version of wine that can run 32bit apps on the new macs such that it will handle the DSETUP.dll file properly.

2. P99 Staff, or whoever is responsible for DSETUP.dll, need to fix/update/whatever that code/file to be able to be loaded by the Codeweavers 32bit wine program.

I have submitted tickets with both of these groups and multiple attempts to communicate and neither has really provided any valuable responses at this point. I have even offered to assist, but my skills would probably be limited in regard to doing what needs to be done.

The best method I have found so far with regard to staying on Mac is to use Parallels, set the boot option of `devices.usb.enable_mouse=0` so it doesn't fly all over and I can still move it from within Parallels and out, and then create a new Mac Display profile to adjust the gamma.
