I've got it working on my mac. I copied over an already installed game folder from windows though so if you don't have that option you'll have to figure out some more steps.

1. Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/
2. From the command line run:
Code:
$ sudo port install wine
3. Go make a sandwich
4. From the command line run the following command. Shouldn't need to change any settings here but it creates a ~/.wine directory for you.
Code:
$ winecfg
5. Now copy the installed game folder (with p99 changes) to this location:
Code:
$ mv ~/Desktop/EverQuest mv ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/.
6. You should be all set, run it with a script like:
Code:
$ cat run-p99.sh
cd "/Users/you/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EverQuest"
wine "/Users/you/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EverQuest/eqgame.exe" patchme
$ ./run-p99.sh
The only problem I have is when I start it, it runs partially out of my screen without any handles to move it. I got around this by using Spaces (turn it on in your System Preferences). Once you zoom out to see all the virtual desktops you can then click and drag the game wherever you need to.

I hope this helps.
