Mac Os Installing Program Wine

Posted on  by

The following instructions are heavily inspired by /u/uhohohdear.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: ~~ WOTC just released a new executable that should work with these original directions. I updated the download link below.

Aug 10, 2019  Contains a custom Wineskin wrapper for running MTGArea on Mac OS. abcbarryn/MTGArena-for-mac. Installing MTGA on macOS using Wine, and making it look pretty! After switching to another program, it stops responding. Everything is fine. Just grab the MTGA window and wiggle it a little bit.

Dependencies

  1. Your macOS/OS X version must be 10.8 or greater
  2. Your Mac must support OpenGL 4.0 or greater (you can find out whether it does here)
  3. You must download the Magic the Gathering Arena Windows executable
  4. You must download makeMTGArena.zip and unzip it. It will create MTGArena.app, which is a custom Wineskin wrapper you can use to install MTGArena.
  1. Jun 29, 2019  Foobar2000 mac: MacPorts and Homebrew Versions. A front-end launcher program for Foobar2000 on Mac OS X that is running under WINE. If you have wine installed, this script merely creates a launcher app for running foobar2000, therefore Foobar2000mac is now accessible in Launchpad and/or can be pinned to your Dock.
  2. Foobar2000 mac: MacPorts and Homebrew Versions. A front-end launcher program for Foobar2000 on Mac OS X that is running under WINE. If you have wine installed, this script merely creates a launcher app for running foobar2000, therefore Foobar2000mac is now accessible in Launchpad and/or can be pinned to your Dock.
  3. Jun 14, 2018 Step 1: After running macOS Mojave, if you want to install a Windows compatible program on your Mac you need to install Wine. Step 2: Wine is a freeware program developed by WineHQ and supports.
  4. Wine is an open source program for running Windows software on non-Windows operating systems. While it’s most often used on Linux, Wine can run Windows software directly on a Mac, too–without requiring a Windows license or needing Windows running in the background.
  5. To install wine the following command can be used; brew cask install (selected wine package) wine-stable, wine-devel or wine-staging packages can be installed using the above example. The advantage of installing via homebrew means wine is available from a standard terminal session Building Wine. See Building Wine on macOS. Uninstalling Wine.

Note: If you're like me, you may not trust unofficial Wineskin wrappers. Unfortunately, the Wineskin project is way behind and only supports Wine 2.x. We need at least Wine 3.0 to run MTGA. If Wineskin ever gets around to updating, you can get the official download here.

Wine Mac Os 10.15

Installing MTGA

  1. Drag the custom Wineskin wrapper to your /Applications/ folder.
  2. Right click/Control click the Wineskin wrapper (MTGArena.app) and select 'Open'

Note: The wrapper has 'Screen Options' and then 'Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D' unchecked and 'Use Mac Driver instead of X11' checked. If you complete installation of MTGA and are getting DirectX 11 errors, come back to this step and change these settings, but the defaults sjould work.

  1. Click 'Install Software'
  2. Click 'Choose Setup Executable'
  3. Navigate to and select the Magic the Gathering Arena Windows executable you previously downloaded ('MTGAInstaller_0.1.1615.720204.msi')
  4. Wait for MTGA to install and ignore any warnings (hopefully you won't have any!). When complete, click 'Finish'
  5. Back in Wineskin, a 'Choose Executable' window should be available. Select 'MTGA.exe'.

You can now click 'Quit' and start playing MTGA! If you'd like to add Retina support, carry on.

Wine

Adding Retina/HiDPI Support

  1. In Wineskin, click 'Advanced' and then select 'Tools'
  2. Click 'Registry Editor (regedit)'
  3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine -> Mac Driver (if Mac Driver doesn't exist, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine and then use Edit -> New -> Key to create a new key named Mac Driver)
  4. Select Edit -> New -> String Value from the menu and name it RetinaMode
  5. Double click RetinaMode, set its value to y, and click 'OK'
  6. Close the Registry Editor and then click 'Config Utility (winecfg)' in Wineskin's Advanced -> Tools menu
  7. Click on the 'Graphics' tab, enter the correct dpi under 'Screen resoution', and click 'OK'.

Note: You can find your screen's dpi on Apple Support or via DPI Love.

You can now close Wineskin and start playing MTGA in high resolution!

FAQS

I'm getting a DirectX 11 error and it's making me sad.

This wrapper already includes the fixes below, so you should not have these issues.

Repeat steps 0 and 1 under 'Installing MTGA' and trying unchecking 'Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D' and checking 'Use Mac Driver instead of X11'. If you're still having problems, use TextEdit to create a plaintext file (use shift+command+T to toggle between rich text and plaintext) with the following information:

Save this file as d3d.reg. Go to /Applications/ then right click/control click the Wineskin wrapper (MTGArena.app) and select 'Show Package Contents'. Open 'Wineskin.app'. In Wineskin, click 'Advanced', select 'Tools', and then click 'Registry Editor (regedit)'. From the 'Registry' menu, choose 'Import Registry File..' and select the d3d.reg file you just created. Close regedit, exit Wineskin, and try running MTGArena again.

I'm playing MTGA in windowed mode and, after switching to another program, it stops responding.

Everything is fine. Just grab the MTGA window and wiggle it a little bit. Everything should be back to normal.

I tried to launch MTGA and I get some error that crashes the program!

Again, the fix for this is already applied but I left the question in the FAQ, you should not have this issue with this wrapper.

This is a common issue with running MTGA in Wine. Close the program and wait a few seconds. It should work fine on the second attempt. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If this really bugs you, here's a fix so that MTGA will launch perfectly every time:

  1. Right/control-click the Wineskin wrapper (MTGArena.app) and select 'Show Package Contents'
  2. Navigate to Contents/MacOS
  3. Rename 'WineskinLauncer' to 'WineskinLauncher.bin'
  4. Create a new plaintext file in Content/MacOS and save it as 'WineskinLauncher'

Note: If you're using TextEdit, make sure you've turned off the option to add a .txt file extension.

  1. Paste the following inside of the new WineskinLauncher file:
  1. In Terminal, run chmod 755 /Applications/MTGArena.app/Contents/MacOS/WineskinLauncher

There's an Arena update and nothing works anymore!

Yeah. It's annoying. You will need to download a new msi and reinstall.

Mac Os Installing Program Wine 2017

  1. Either unzip the empty Wineskin wrapper again (MTGArena.app) or right click MTGArena and select 'Show Package Contents' and click 'Wineskin' then click 'Advanced', then 'Tools', then 'Rebuild Wrapper'. You should now have an 'empty' wrapper again. Exit.
  2. Double click the MTGArena and select 'Install Software'
  3. Click 'Choose Setup Executable'
  4. Navigate to and select the Magic the Gathering Arena Windows msi file you previously downloaded
  5. Install as above.
