Hi, everyone!

I've been trying to get the latest Megaman Maker to run using Wine and realized that after installed Play On Mac to run SMBX, the Finder was now suggesting I open megamaker.exe with PlayOnMac.

I've been running PlayOnMac by executing ./playonmac --verbose from inside /Applications/PlayOnMac.app/Contents/MacOS.

I'm trying to remember exactly what I did, but I think I was prompted to set up a manual installation, which I did. At some point, it said it was analyzing the application. I also remember that I was prompted with an "Open File"-type dialog box, so I selected Megamaker.exe. The terminal then showed something about connecting the debugger and everything seemed to stop working.

Eventaully, I went to the main PlayOnMac window and selected Configure, picked Megamaker, opened the task manager, and killed the process for Megamaker.exe, which seemed to be running. Every time I try to start the game though the PlayOnMac UI, I get that same dialog box. If I pick megamaker.exe The console also shows this:

Start debug server
Creating Debugger server port:6502
[DbgServer]6502
Total memory used = 7877988(0x00783564) bytes
...Waiting for debugger to connect...

The EXE never actually shows me a UI doing this, though a process starts (checking via the Task Manager) and an icon shows up in my dock.

If I go to Configure: Miscellaneous: Run a .exe in this virtual drive and pick MegaMaker.exe (through the Mac UI), everything works great, including none of the graphics issues I had been getting running straight wine through the terminal.

(I still get that Index out of bounds exception every time, but that seems to be a known issue running Megamaker in wine with no ill effects.)

Thoughts? Thanks! Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post this.

First thing to know: http://wiki.playonlinux.com/index.php/Manual_Installations

I'll try to write a script for this game.

Good to know. Thanks for the quick reply!

Great platform game, script made.

Hey, Dadu. Thanks for getting a script made. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. When I try to run the script after launching PlayOnMac through the console I get the following. Thoughts?

This is the output from the second attempt at running this. The first attempt failed, but I didn't have the console open, so I don't have that output. Thanks!

It seems that the main issue is :

failed to load .so lib for builtin L"winegstreamer.dll"

Perhaps look at : http://wiki.playonlinux.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_Common_Problems#Missing_files

Hello again. So I never got this working quite right on my Mac, but I'm now using a Mint 19.3 machine as a media computer and am giving this another whirl, this time using PlayOnLinux. Everything seems to be working! Thanks for your help!
