PSA for those using Mac - Psi - 09-14-2019
Mac OSX Catalina (10.15+) will be officially released in October and is dropping support for 32-bit applications. The current means of playing Pokemon Uranium via wine will no longer work if you update your OSX to this version. At least not until the wine development team figure out how to work around this - there's some discussion on it, but it's a lot of work and could take some time, if at all.
So what can you do?
- Optionally, do not update to Catalina (or beyond Mojave) and continue to play via wine!
- Alternatively, /u/57-1 has built / compiled an OSX native app bundle of Pokemon Uranium 1.2.4. This is not something that is not currently supported by the uranium team, it's something /u/57-1 is working on, so any questions specific to this version of the game should be directed appropriately.
Since this is stickied, here's some more information.
- Wine discussion around the impact of Catalina dropping 32-bit support.
- New post regarding mkxp-z potential controller support.
- mkxp-z source
If not updating and continuing to run wine or running the native app bundle don't sound appealing to you for whatever reason virtual machine is still an option. If this is the path you wish to take, I would recommend installing Windows XP Integral Edition onto a virtualbox VM, or alternatively set up Windows 10 Integral Edition as a dual boot via bootcamp. If either of these are something you want assistance with, hit me up here on the forums, or on Discord for a faster response!
