Alternate Mac install instructions (standard Wine instead of Wineskin)
 
Alternate Mac install instructions (standard Wine instead of Wineskin)

I was having some trouble with the Wineskin instructions. This approach worked for me.

1) Find a copy of a working EQ Titanium installation (ie C:/Program Files/Sony/Everquest/) and copy it into your Mac's ~/Downloads folder.

2) Install Homebrew
https://brew.sh/
Code:

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
3) Install Wine
Code:

$ brew install wine
4) Run winecfg to set up initial Wine prefix and directory structure
Code:

$ WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
When the winecfg window loads just click Ok.

5) Move your EQ Titanium installation directory into Wine's filesystem
Code:

$ mv ~/Downloads/P99 ~/.wine/drive_c/
6) Set up a script to launch the game
Code:

$ echo '#!/bin/bash' >> ~/Desktop/p99.sh
$ echo 'cd ~/.wine/drive_c/P99' >> ~/Desktop/p99.sh
$ echo 'wine eqgame.exe patchme' >> ~/Desktop/p99.sh
$ chmod +x ~/Desktop/p99.sh

7) Start the game by double clicking the p99.sh icon on your Desktop (you can move the script as needed)
