Wineskin Advanced Mac

What follows is a guide on how to run Rayman 2 on a Mac.

Double-click Wineskin.app; Click Advanced and then the Tools tab, and then Command Line Shell; In the window that appears, type cd '.GOG GamesPlanescape Torment' Type the name of the mod exe file (Setup-GhostDog's-PST-UI.exe) and press return; Follow the prompts, if there are any (refer to other mod guides for specific options). The first Advanced tab (Configuration) should be much more simple in the first section: The Windows EXE should use Wineskin syntax, including the drive and the flags, (eg. 'C:/Program Files/temp.exe' -run ) instead of using a macOS reference path (eg.

Rayman 2 running natively in Mac OSX.

Introduction

NOTE: This article was created after a single test-case, for future reference. If, after following the instructions relayed herein, the user finds the solution doesn't work, please send the user Shrooblord a PM via the forums.

These instructions detail how to get Rayman 2 up and running in a Mac OSX environment. So far, test results show evidence of full, no-lag support with a similar input latency (none) and appearance as the original game back on 1990s machines, except rendered with modern-day graphics abilities (note that though the drawn lines may appear less pixellated, there is no way to update the textures unless someone went and repainted every single one by hand at a higher resolution).

They will get the game running, but your Mac menu bar at the top of the screen will still be visible. Additionally, the game will be displayed in its native 4:3 resolution, so you will have big black pillar borders on the sides of the screen surrounding the game if you have a widescreen monitor.These are features of the process still being looked into. Perhaps the widescreen patch as described on the forums can be applied. This has not been tested.

Requirements

  • The GOG.com version of the game (requires installer executable file - download it off the site from your Library when logged in and with a purchased copy registered to your account)
  • Porting Kit by Paul the Tall


Installation

  1. Download and install the Porting Kit. Its installation is straightforward and all necessary instructions are relayed to you through its own installation procedure.
  2. Download the Rayman 2 GOG.com version's installer executable and keep it in your Downloads folder.
  3. Launch the Porting Kit.
  4. In the Porting Kit, near the top of the window, click the tab Library.
  5. To the left, click the tab Server and search for Rayman 2.
  6. Install the Porting Kit's Rayman 2 wrapper and follow all on-screen instructions. The process should walk you through all necessary steps on its own.
  7. By now you should be able to test Rayman 2. However, you will notice that its graphics remind you of 1990s computers. Follow the next step in the process to remedy that.


Configuring the Game

These steps will cause the game to be drawn using your computer monitor's native resolution, increasing the quality of the graphics displayed significantly. The list of instructions is accompanied by a screenshot picture gallery below.

Wineskin
  1. Go to your Local tab in Library and right click the Rayman 2 app. Select Launch Wineskin [previously, this option was called 'Properties'].
  2. Click Advanced and Browse on the first tab in Advanced.
  3. Browse to the nglide_config.exe inside the created Rayman 2 app: right click the Rayman2.app, click Show Package Contents and navigate its directory tree as shown below.
  4. Test Run the nglide_config.exe.
  5. Select the following options:
  6. Next, set the WineSkin options to emulate a Windows XP computer ( Tools tab > Config Utility (winecfg) ). Apply and close.
  7. On the Configuration tab, Browse back to your Rayman2.exe executable inside the Rayman 2 app's directory.
  8. Click Test Run to see if it works.
  9. [OPTIONAL] - It may be you need to change some options depending on your computer and operating system. On Mavericks, the steps described above were enough. On El Capitan, one additional step was required to get the game to run: In the Wineskin Advanced window, in the Configuration tab, click 'Set Screen Options' and make sure the checkbox 'Use Mac Driver instead of X11' is checked (it is unchecked by default).
  10. And finally, close this Advanced Wineskin window and from hereon forwards, whenever you click Play in the Porting Kit, you'll have Rayman 2 running on your Mac desktop like it were a Windows XP computer, with correct aspect ratio and using your screen's resolution.

  • 1. Select properties in the context menu for the Rayman 2 installation inside your Porting Kit's local Library.

  • 2. Click Advanced on the Wineskin window that opens and then on Browse on the Configuration tab of the Advanced dialog window.

  • 3. Browse to the nglide_config.exe inside your Rayman 2 installation directory (the created Rayman2.app).

  • 4. This shows the nglide_config.exe being the executed .exe file when the Rayman2.app is run. Click Test Run to launch the application.

  • 5. Displays the options that should be chosen in the nglide_config.exe for the Rayman 2 Porting Kit executable.

  • 6. Select Rayman2.exe to run emulating a Windows XP environment in the Wine Configuration (winecfg) option under the Tools tab of the Advanced option of the Properties window of the Rayman 2 Porting Kit executable.

  • 7. Select the Rayman2.exe to be the executable that is run when launching the Rayman 2 app under the Configuration tab of the Rayman 2 Porting Kit executable.

Trivia

  • The benefit of this Rayman 2 version over normal Windows machines running the game is that the user can minimize the window and the game will turn into 'Rayman II - paused' like on Windows, but instead, it won't crash when trying to reopen it like it usually would on newer Windows systems.

How to Install S & S Windows Applications on a MAC Computer Using Wineskin

Wineskin provides free Windows emulation support to run S & S applications on a MAC.

What is Wineskin?

Wineskin is a tool used to make ports of Windows software to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (or later). The ports are in the form of normal Mac application bundle wrappers. It works like a wrapper around the Windows software, and you can share just the wrappers if you choose (that is the strategy used here). Best of all, it’s free and does not require installation of the Windows OS!

Use the MAC Download button on the product page to download the zipped S & S application Wineskin Wrapper to the Download folder on your MAC. For example, if you are installing SewWhat-Pro, the zipped wrapper file will be named Wineskin-SewWhat-Pro.app.zip. Unzip it and run it to install the product. You may be prompted that “SewWhat-Pro (or whatever application you are installing) is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?” Select “Open” to continue with the installation. You may have to change your security settings to allow the file to run, as explained here. The Wineskin programs will have a wine colored icon next to the file name after they are installed (see figure below).

How To Update Wineskin On Mac

Once the installation is successfully completed and you open the application, the S & S product application registration box will open. You may now choose to continue using the product as a Demo or enter your registration information if you purchased a license.
