Title: Playing an AGS game on Mac. Wine or other sw?
Post by: Jigen Daisuke on Thu 26/07/2018 13:28:45
I hope here is the right forum room for this question...

I've made a game with AGS 3.4.1. and I need to run it on a 2012 Mac (owned by a friend of mine).
I never used a Mac so I don't know how to proceed: I read several topics on the forum and maybe the solution is to install "WINE" on the Mac because it's a sort of virtual machine.
Is it true? will it give a 100% compatibility of the game, including saves and mp3 background music?

Or maybe I have to use a different software/procedure to play it?

Thank you in advance for the answers!

Someone will soon give you a more definite answer, but I'm pretty sure WINE does the job just fine.

I haven't used a Mac in forever, but I do run Ubuntu on my desktop. All of the AGs games I've tried, except by Wadjet Eye, run better for me using Wine than by using the Linux version.
I don't know the difference between Wine for Linux vs Wine for Mac.
Of course there's no way to promise 100% compatibility even from one Windows pc to another.
