HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[Mithu]

The SteamDeck itself which was purely out of curiosity. I have a M1 MacBook that I tried running with CrossOver but can’t even get the launcher to pop up.

Since they’ve dropped native 32-but support it’ll require a layer of some kind to work, either virtualization or translation layers. I’ve heard people having luck with Parallels but I’m a bit stubborn and want to get it working without the weight of a full Windows VM.

I’m still a bit surprised that P99 works perfectly under Proton, as it’s essentially an in-house Wine. I’ve heard various issues with people trying to play P99 on Wine and didn’t have any of those except the known UDP login server issue which can be fixed.
