HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[FultonEffect]

First off, go to properties on "eqgame.exe" in your Everquest folder and make sure it's set to compatibility for service pack 2. Then check the 'run as Admin', go down to arm emulation and make sure it's set to 'safe' emulation from the drop down. Then move your Everquest folder to an actual folder off the C: drive (this is essential or you will get an error) for example Program Files or Program Files (x86). Now, create a shortcut and send it to your desktop from the eqgame.exe. Go to the new shortcut and open it up with properties and add 'patchme' to the end of the command line.

This method does not work anymore. The app crash when it is starting :

I think something in the wineskin wrapper is not up to date

Any updates on the capacity to use Wine for this?
Also is there any other way, like wine, to not have the entire Windows OS running but simply instance applications?

I have literally kept my laptop in an old version of iOS just so it can still run P99 ;P

I'm running parallels and have followed all of the instructions. I can't seem to find anybody else citing the problem I'm having.

When I try to Launch using Titanium it gives me the following error:

Windows cannot find 'eqgame.' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

Anybody have any ideas of how to address this?

I also tried uninstalling Titanium and installing EQ lite. I made a shortcut of the eqgame.exe file changed to Safe ARM emulation, SP2, and added "patch me" to the target.

This attempt give me the following error:
The instruction at 0x000000001000F0CE referenced memory at 0x00000000FFFFFFC. The memory could not be read.

I had this same issue. It kept failing and I kept setting the everquest.exe file settings. finally I set the emulation pieces on eqgame.exe and it was fixed.

P1999 has been working lately on Crossover for me on my M1 Mac. Use CXPatcher. I have no idea why this works lol.
