Rosetta Wineskin

[Heli Whetzel]

HiI recently got my first mac and wanted to run digital works software using wine. I downloaded CrossOver Trial and moved it to the applications folder, I went in to Security & Preferences and unlocked it. I go to open CrossOver and it immedietly hits me with quit unexpectedly. I attached the details of the crash below. I'm running 11.6 Big Sur. Thank you.

If you download CrossOver, unzip it, double click to launch in your Downloads folder and then follow the prompt to move it to Applications if desired, it should just work. Do you happen to be running antivirus software?

Sorry I'm not incredibly well versed with Mac OS terminology. When I opened the CrossOver application for the first time it prompted me and told me that it is an unknown developer, so I had to press the unlock button and then the "Open anyway" button because the program is not from an identified developer.

Im sorry I think I was mistaken, I guess I did that for another WINE thing I downloaded which also happened to not work haha, I think it was wineskin. I downloaded the trial straight from this codeweavers website, so rest assured I have the legit version.

My only suggestion would be to delete it from Applications, then unzip again and launch from Downloads and then follow the prompts to move to Applications. If that doesn't work, please submit a support ticket.

Thank you very much! I used your google drive download... it told me the the app was damaged ... simply used the contents file and copied it to an old version of the app now I worked around the dotnet7 fail I had since the newer pkhex versions... Thanks!

Wine now supports dotnet7, but wineskin is not up to date with wine. If you want to use the latest pkhex with wine, I recommend installing wine with brew.

After installing brew, install wine with

If it gives you the "no dotnet 7 runtime found", then download it from here ( -us/download/dotnet/7.0) and install it using wine the same way you ran pkhex above. After it installs, run pkhex again, and you should be good to go!

Separately, I found that the installation of .NET 7 only worked with wine-crossover, and not wine. But then when I use it with PKHeX, I get a "fatal non-UI error". Not sure if anyone has been able to get around this.

Edit: It seems that the error likely comes from the fact that wine-crossover uses Wine 7.7, and likely cannot use the .NET 7 properly. So if anyone has advice on how to get wine-stable working properly, let me know!

Hi! I've been trying to install PkHex on my Mac which is currently running Catalina. I've tried following all your tips but thus far I can't seem to even install .Net 7 properly using Wine Stable. Any tips? Thanks in advance!

Except for BD all the other EEP viewers (basically every popular one) are roughly equivalent in graphic quality (unless someone who knows better than me begs to differ). If you really want to try BD, it might work via wine emulation.

As I said, I make adjustments in SL with EEP, phototools, and shadowing. Then I make final editing in RL with Photoscape (free). I know others who use GIMP (not a fan) and Photoshop (I'm too cheap to buy it).

Oh I'm very familiar with PS, but I don't want to have to manually draw in every shadow T_T

I've noticed all viewers except for BD really suck at doing ambient occlusion.. no matter the settings.

If the viewer could just do the shadows correctly in the first place it would just save me so much time

I'll try WINE, but I remembered trying to instal WINE before for another game and it was a headache ? Time to buy a windows computer LOL

I haven't been back to look in some time. You seem to be correct. I know at one time I read a disclaimer that BD wasn't as user friendly as other viewer's. Having read the latest info, I may look into it.

which viewer?

I don't know much about the programming side of things, so I don't mean the viewer's shadows are "not working correctly". I'm an artist so I mean it in the sense that it isn't realistic. And I meant viewers like Firestorm and Alchemy at their highest settings.

My defender went off when I downloaded the newest Firestorm. Black Dragon is a well respected viewer. I've never heard anyone having a problem with it as far as download safety. And you know the forums. If there was any issue, we'd hear about it.

I've tried Alchemy Viewer in the recent past, and gotten really nice photos from it, plus good framerate. The only reason I didn't stick with it was an audio dropout issue that made it impractical for my DJ-ing and broadcasting work, plus attending music events. However, there's a test project version in the works that should hopefully fix that. ?

General issue to be aware of with any viewer on the Mac, enabling support for Retina display (HiDPI) will impact framerate to varying degrees depending on the viewer. Oh, and you'll need to go into System Preferences > Security & Privacy and allow the viewer to launch the first time, as most aren't signed or notarised and will trip Apple's security system.

Been playing secondlife on a Mac for years, and doing secondlife photography for a good long time too and I can confirm there isn't much of a difference between viewers for us Mac users unless you're willing to either use Parallels, Wineskin or run Bootcamp (not available to apple silicon M1 Macs) to get into the Black Dragon viewer.

Alchemy has the best fps hands down, it's much more optimized for Mac users however it doesn't work on M1 Macs and hasn't been updated to EEP, although I find standard wind light to be just fine for photography. If EEP is a must, Alchemy has a project viewer that is somewhat regularly updated called Shrewdshepherd, which has EEP and runs on M1 Macs through rosetta, you can request access on the Alchemy discord.

Firestorm has EEP but is less optimized for Macs, I find I get less FPS, particularly on older Macs. However if you got a newer model that can push through the poor optimization, I've found I get just fine fps and my photos look just a little better. Firestorm gets the edge as well because the amount of sliders and customization you have available is quite a bit more, particularly with shadow quality and ambient occlusion. The latest update also has the neatest depth of field focus lock, so you can move your camera away from your subject and still remain focused on them.

Lastly I will say Black Dragon isn't exactly /not/ user friendly, but has a learning curve. It offers an extensive amount of sliders and customization for your photography, so if you make the effort to get it running on a Mac, be prepared to spend some time on it to get the most out of it. It certainly is the best for photography though.

Defender, like most protection/antivirus apps or systems is just an algorithm based detection service that compares something's behavior to common malicious behaviors, so for instance a self-extracting (e.g cheap-man's) WinRar package like my Viewer uses it goes haywire because self-extracting WinRar archives are a common behavior that some malicious software might use.

Also Defender in particular (since its part of Windows) checks for any certificate (which my Viewer doesn't have either) and will potentially warn you about that too. You can scan Defender and send in a report that its a false positive (so can i as developer) and after a while they will have it added to their library as clean software but by that time its already Christmas (or the next update and i'll have to repeat this procedure again).
