Wineskin Alternative Mac Catalina

Posted on by admin

In this article we cover using Wineskin Winery to run what would normally be a PC-only program successfully under Yosemite on a Mac! Rock, Scissors, Paper Papercraft is a great way to make prototypes of your 3D models, but the stumbling block for Mac users has always been that the program of choice for unwrapping your models as origami style. Integrated fntoggle directly into Wineskin.app, now you can have Standard F keys during wrapper usage. Wine versions not compatible with 'mac driver' will have that option disabled. Fixed a long standing bug from official Wineskin 'Command Line Wine Test' now works as intended. Ability to map Command as Ctrl (wine 3.17 and above). I have a fresh Mac OS X Catalina 10.15.5 installation on my Macbook Pro. I installed the newest version of PlayOnMac (4.4) about an hour ago, which supposedly now works with Mac OS X Catalina as of 4 July 2020 (yesterday). Gatekeeper is disabled. I go to 'Install a program' in PlayOnMac and search for 'Steam' and click Install.

  1. WineSkin for Catalina download link: Can't run 32-bit games on a Mac that has been up.
  2. We have good and bad news regarding macOS Catalina. As you probably already know, 32-bit applications cannot be executed anymore in macOS Catalina. With the previous OS versions, there was a warning, but you could still run old software. Instead, if your Mac has already moved to the beautiful Santa Catalina Island, you can only run 64-bit apps.

It took a long while and thanks to the hard work of Dean alias Gcenx of the unofficial Wineskin, and Vitor from the Portingkit team, and of course many thanks to Codeweavers, who made the 32bit->64bit conversion possible, we finally have something to work with! It’s not perfect yet but, it at least Porting Kit (with the 32-bit games) works now with SIP disabled.

Important:
Existing installed game ports, needs to be re-installed. It needs the WS11 engines now in Catalina! So don’t panic when you launch your installed games, it’s “Normal” that it doesn’t work, (because of the old engine it still contains) it needs to be reinstalled.

I am also proud to introduce Dean alias Gcenx into the Porting Kit team :) With his Wineskin knowledge we can streamline Porting Kit more and more using the Wineskin app. So a big welcome to him!

How it works?
Exact the same as you used to, but you need to have SIP disabled. SIP in Catalina has some enhancements/improvements has been introduced which overlaps and reinforces the filesystem protections that SIP provides. So that causes that Porting Kit SIP enabled worked in Mojave and now not in Catalina. So it needs to be disabled for Porting Kit to work (Yes, your system will still be good protected, but not that tight as when SIP enabled). So you have to disable it using these instructions:

  1. Click the Apple symbol in the Menu bar.
  2. Click Restart…
  3. Hold down Command-R to reboot into Recovery Mode.
  4. Click Utilities.
  5. Select Terminal.
  6. Type csrutil disable.
  7. Press Return or Enter on your keyboard.
  8. Click the Apple symbol in the Menu bar.
  9. Click Restart…

Or check these video instructions…. how to do that.

Some challenges which still needs to be overcome:
– SIP Disabled (needs to be enabled in the end)
– Only 2 Wine Engines available (newest ones) to use
– Some bugs in games (as comes with every new Mac OS)
– Popup of “security input” settings may appear at launch

All challenges which we hope to get fixed through time. At least we have something what works in Catalina when SIP is disabled (for now) of course.

Go to Catalina yes or no?
Thats up to you. You can wait until we fix the issues. Or if you are on Catalina and want SIP to be enabled, I strongly recommend Crossover for now. Not bad to support the people who made the 32bit->64bit technology. If you are already on Catalina, don’t bother SIP, then you can use Porting Kit :)
