HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[freezzo]

I should also note that you need to make sure you change your eqclient.ini settings before trying to run it, as it won't load if you don't. You need to make sure you have appropriate resolutions set for WindowedHeight and WindowedWidth I believe, as well as WindowedMode=TRUE

Is there a work around for the fact exe flags is missing in the wine unofficial that uses wine32to64?

Its very possible that there is something up with the ability for catalina letting wine load that DLL. I have more updates in my post.

Oh I see what you are saying. I just added "patchme" to the Windows EXE line Like this

"C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

@treise you can run it from the command line or terminal like a hacker

Yeah I ended up doing that it still blows up somewhere. I need to figure out all the debug options for both wine and p99? However I upgraded to big sur so I expect a bunch of stuff isn't working atm. It shattered my virtual box VM I was using to do work on lol.

Finally got my wrapper uploaded to Dropbox. It works with OS Mojave (10.14.6), not tested with Catalina. I think there might be a small issue with the ui where it shows a small error when you log in (but works fine). Should be fixable by downloading the patch and reapply to the UI folder.

Let me know if something is wrong

After spending hours combing through all the different options, your file worked perfectly! Just updated some of the files from the recent patch, and bomb - worked right away. Thanks so much!

I would like to echo chronon116's sentiments. Thank you Nyme for posting this! I now have Project 1999 running on my iMac. I need to go back through this thread and see if there's a solution to my number pad not working as directional keys.

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?

Anyone tried getting p99 to work on an m1 macbook yet?
