@Cosette - tbh I just followed the youtube video linked above step by step and didn't have any issues. Did it a couple of months ago on a late 2011 iMac running 10.8.1

It's a great guide so you shouldn't have any probs if you follow it.

Thanks! I ended up following the YouTube video as well, reinstalled everything instead of copypasta from Parallels, and everything worked out just fine. AND I AM ELATED. YouTube video in question for those who just got here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xfNbEUVweM

Couple of minor details I noticed that may help others:

• HEY! THIS WORKED ON MAVERICK! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The YouTube video I watched said otherwise.
• When you're replacing the P99 files, you have to be very careful to replace the CONTENTS of the folders, not the entire folders themselves. I blew it and replaced my 'default' uifiles folder completely and I was getting the same thing where nothing happened. Had to totally reinstall. Fuuu.
• I also blew it with the spell files, which I don't believe was mentioned in the video since it references an older version of the P99 files thatn the current. Also necessary to replace the contents and not the folder itself.
• If your mouse gets stuck when you open the game, alt tab/switch windows and click back onto the window and it should be fine.

A huge thank you to everyone who put this together. I mean really guys. Playing on Parallels/Bootcamp is such a pain in my ass so needless to say I am very very very pleased. This was a great way to come back after 3 years.
