Then… nothing will seem to happen! don’t worry.

Select “install software” and choose “move a folder inside”. When it’s done creating the wrapper, click “show wrapper in finder”Ī new finder window will open with your wineskin wrapper waiting. There may be some accessory things it needs to install. name it whatever you want (likewise i’ve been naming the wrappers after the games they contain) Once you have your copied file contents and an engine installed (showing under “installed engines”), click “create new blank wrapper” with the engine highlighted. open the file, highlight and copy all of the file contents, then paste them into a new folder labelled whatever you want (i’ve been using the game acronyms, so my trials were all DOG, DOG2, DOG3 etc) if you have screen flicker issues or mouse lag, try 1.7.14NoFlicker for screen flicker issues, or 1.3.18 for mouse lag (though 1.3.18 solved both flicker + mouse lag issues for me) pick the latest one and try that out using the following steps. There are a lot of them and they can be overwhelming. you’ll need to install an engine (by cicking on the little “+” sign which will be to the left of “New Engine(s) available!”) So i figured it out last night!!! and i have a very dumbed down, very easy to follow guide for you on how to get old PC nancy drew games running on your macįor stats: i have an iMac running Lion 10.7.5 El Capitan 10.11.3ĭownload wineskin (it’s a very short download) I think it would work if you downloaded the patch to the game folder before you created the wineskin version of the game.Using wineskin to play old nancy drew games on a mac I’ve never encountered the glitch while playing TRN, but I looked up the patch for you to see if it was still available and it seems to be. I might need step-by-step instructions because I don't REALLY know what I'm doing.Īny help is appreciated greatly! Thank you so much!!I was able to download the patch from HeR’s website, if that helps. Wondering if I would need to create a new wrapper just for the patch, and if so, how to do that. The page that is supposed to have the patch doesn't exist on the Her website anymore, and I somehow managed to find the patch somewhere else (this required a lot of Internet scouring and I'm honestly not sure now where I found it) but of course I can't open it because I'm on a Mac. I'm playing a Wineskin Wrapper version of TRN created after installing the two disks on my Mac, and I'm wondering if it is possible to also use the patch through Wineskin.
I even started a new game and tried to sort the taffy before I took the wax paper but it still froze (this is the "no dirty rectangle slots available" glitch). I've been trying to figure out how to get past the taffy sorting glitch, because my game freezes every time.
