![]() You’ve created a Wrapper! HOORAY! You probably want to “View wrapper in Finder” so you don’t have to search for it, then put it somewhere safe. You’ll get some windows asking you to install “Mono” and “gecko”, but no on likes Mono, so just click “cancel” ġ2. Name it something like Deus Ex, because this is what you click to play the game. Name your wrapper something cool like Rhyme-noceros or Hip-Hop-opotamus. Click on the new engine so it’s highlighted, and then click “Create New Blank Wrapper” ġ0. If it doesn’t show up, just close and open your Winery. BOOM now you have a new engine in your Winery. Take your downloaded file and open it, then click “install” on the Wineskin Installer.ĩ. Click on the link and scroll down to the newest version, which for me is “WS9WINE1.7.” Download it.Ĩ. Let’s just get the newest one, which at the time is Wine 1.7.x (it’s highlighted in the picture).ħ. There’s a couple ways you can do this, but the way I’ll be demonstrating is by clicking “Download Packages Manually.” Unfortunately at the time I’m writing this, the link is broken… So go back to that first downloads webpage I showed you and click the mediafire link in the “manually installed item downloads” box (see image 1).Ħ. I read loads of different opinions on which engine you should use, and as far as I can tell… it doesn’t really matter… But like I said I just want to show you ONE way that works, not the ONLY way it works!ĥ. Take your downloaded “Wineskin Winery” and put it somewhere pretty, like your desktop or whatever. Google “Wineskin Winery” and the first link should bring you here. You’ll be left with a file you can’t read.Ģ. Doesn’t matter if you use the Downloader or not. Just take it slow and you’ll be UNATCO’s top agent in half an hour.Īlright. I just hope the pictures aren’t too small, I was having some trouble.) Don’t be daunted by how long the instructions are, it’s long because I made it simple. I can’t tell you how many times I thought to myself “WHY DON’T THEY JUST INCLUDE A FRICKING PICTURE?!?!?!” (visual learner here. I’m sure for some of you this is going to be baby talk, and I should be ashamed of how long it took me to figure out something so primitive, but there are loads of people like me who would LOVE to play this game, but simply don’t know how. It works on my 2007 iMac and on my 2011 Macbookpro, so I’m sure it’ll work on whatever machine you have. Now, is this the ONLY way to play Deus Ex on your Mac? NO Does this way work? ABSOUTLEY. So after playing it I decided to make a list of easy, step-by-step instructions so that the next poor fool who Googles “How to play Deus Ex on a Mac” can get it set up in 30 minutes instead of three days. And you know what? After three days I DID figure it out, and when I did, I realized it was actually really simple, if you know what to do. He’s a genius!), but nowhere in my searching did I find a single “how to play Deus Ex” set of instructions!īut, I decided to buy it during the Square Enix sale a few weeks ago, and try to FIGURE IT OUT. The internet is inundated with advice, overviews, and troubleshooting for how to generally play windows games on Macs (Rampancy seems to be our resident GOG expert. I’m not technologically illiterate, but I didn’t know jack-squat about running windows programs on my Mac (without BUYING software like CrossOver or Windows or Parallels, which I had no intention of doing). ![]() Deus Ex is the first game on his list, and while I didn’t understand a word he wrote on there, it made me realize that it was possible to play this game on my Mac. I want to take a second to say a special thanks to Rampancy for his GOGmix “Mac Friendly/Open Source GOG Games”. But sometimes, the games I want to play aren’t available on Mac yet. ![]() I’m so thankful for the work that they do they deserve some kind of humanitarian award. It’s one of my favorite websites of all time. I just want you to know that having a Mac is NO LONGER a reason that you can’t play this game. And if that’s not good enough for you, just read every other post about it on the internet, because this is not a guide to WHY you should play it, this is a guide for HOW you can play it. Any SHOOTER that gives you the possibility of a nonlethal play-through deserves a your money. Let me lay it down for ya plain and simple.
