i would also suggest, install linux and get away from a OS that wont allow you to run any program that you are allowed to run

macOS Catalina and later can’t run Winehq packages, your quoting a Winehq wiki section I’m responsible for.

As for the link that’s about macOS Big Sur, trustd contacts Apple when you attempt to run any application that’s not code-signed & notarized or isn’t Stapled (attached a cert from Apple that says it’s safe)

As your saying to install Linux are you willing to give any user support when something inevitably doesn’t work or the users system breaks?

Chromebook, really?

If it’s a x86 Chromebook I don’t see why not, install CrossOver or wine into Linux via crouton.

yes

DSETUP.DLL is packed with anti-hax0r software called Themida. It's likely to create issues with running it under unintended conditions such as in Wine, moreover under MacOS.

First of all, I'd recommend trying the latest Wine builds, stable and dev.

If this doesn't work, try some kind of virtualization software for Mac, hoping your Mac is powerful enough that it will not kill P99 performance.

If all fails, honestly I'd just get a $300 Windows laptop that will run P99 just fine.

i get that you are using crossover and wineskin gui but can you run winecfg and also wine64?

I have tried doing everything from command line as well directly. Wine64 doesn't not work because Catalina will complain about 32bit applications cannot run in 64 bit mode:

is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support 64-bit applications.

I uncovered a little more info. It appears the DSETUP.dll file is actually loading, but perhaps having an issue when it gets to load some graphics libraries. If I use the installed DLL, I can see the same exception raised, but then it goes on to load opengl/d3d stuff (because of wine) however when I use the P99 provided one, it never debug outputs those opengl/d3d libraries.

I would love a Catalina solution, as well. Thanks for your efforts, Frezzo. I will be watching this thread.

I have petitioned the P99 team to see if we can get some assistance from them. I assume as Catalina/Big Sur becomes a larger percentage of installed Mac OSes, this will become more of an issue.

parallels or bootcamp

[freezzo]

I've tried parallels, and I cant. Its mouse functions just don't work the way I would like that to. I have reached out to them as well to try to figure that out. Bootcamp could be an option if needed, but I'd like to try to resolve this if possible.
