Hi All,

I just bought some games, but sadly the only downloads I see are for PC's. I use a mac. Is there a .zip or .dmg version of the downloads? I would think lots of other people use macs + boxer.

Thanks in advance!

WineSkin is your friend. I'll see if have any threads favorited here (do a google search on it or doh123 for now).

Here's a thread by our handy dandy Mac gamer Rampancy:

Yeah I've never used that before, it's pretty neat. Kinda confusing at first, but I figured it out :-)

Cool. Be sure to look up Rampancy if you're looking for anything GOG/Mac specific.
Pall the Tall has a bunch pre-made wineskin wrappers you can download too:

I actually like making my own (sort of fun), but this also at least tells you if a wrapper can be made.

He also has courses on how to use doh123's wineskin - good info in addition to Rampancy's thread.

Other sources of info Rampancy and NoanRand both have GOGmixes for games they've gotten working, but I am not sure how up-to-date they are:
