? for Mac users using parallesls or bootcamp
I am currently using a Macbook pro 15 inch from 2015 (last model before touch bar and usb C ports). Previously I used wineskin to let me play p99, only downside was it played in a window I could not re size, almost full screen but not the entire screen. Afrer some recent patches and OS updates it bricked wine. I set up parallels and it works great (window is still the same size, unable to play full screen). I think the window issue is because the Mac display is a weird ratio being "retina" etc. I've been thinking about getting a new computer soon and had a question for any mac user that plays p99 via bootcamp or a virtual machine like parallels.
1. In bootcamp does that window issue happen or does it run like it runs on any PC? 2. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix it in parallels? 3. Has anyone been able to make wine work in later macOS like 10.15? Thanks all. | ||

I have the same MBP 15/ 2015 that I use for P99 when I'm traveling. I run Bootcamp with a Windows image. I highly recommend going this route, because it simply saves time in the long run. You don't have to spend a shit ton of time trying to configure any applications for the OS. If you need to run something in Windows, boot into Windows and run it. P99 specifically runs great. I highly recommend this configuration.

Do you know if you can use parallels to access your windows bootcamp partition? IE: I am working on my mac side and want to sit in EC. Will I need to set p99 and windows up twice? Thank you for the reply | |||

If you just rename your eqclient.ini it should generate a new file and the resolution it uses should be your device's native resolution.

Can you share a screenshot of what you mean? I modified my eqclient.ini to be the resolution I wanted, but a screenshot would help figure out what you're seeing. I also run WinEQ2 to have EQ in windowed mode within the VM as it makes it easier to toggle out for any reason.

Zwie - I thought Catalina would not run 32 bit apps, which Wineskin is (I think?)
When I went from Mojave --> Catalina my Wineskin-wrapped EQ stopped working. | ||

As Mac OS X Catalina is 64-bit only, you are SOL. To be fair: This is not the only "64-bit only" OS - it's just the most common one that you can't add the 32-bit compat to: Debian amd64 out of the box won't run 32-bit apps - but a few minutes of web search will find you the commands to install 32-bit support.
