ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW (xAYNTKx)
--------------------------------------------------------
This tutorial is for MAC USERS to run lunar magic and some other applications on a mac.
All the applications you need are in the zip file in the next chapter.
This chapter is more of a Introduction.
Please note there are some limitations to using this free emulator for mac.
Yes I said EMULATOR but all it really does is run EXEs in a mac environment.

{UPDATE LOG}
V 1 Put the tutorial up
V 1.01 Fixed some minor errors and made the title shorter

-------------------- CHEEAPTER 2 ---------------
LUNAR MAGIC NAO! (xLMNx)
---------------------------------------------------------

"WHERE IS TEH DOWNL0ADZ LINK? THIS POST IS BALLSHITZ!"

Do not be impatient. This chapter will cover step by step how to run lunar magic on mac.

FIRST THE ALL IMPORTANT D0WNL0ADZ Download Link...
http://www.mediafire.com/?dvm3djwdmjl

For people who have not used mediafire at all...

Click on "click here to start download"

Next you should get a zip file like this.


Unzip it and you will get...


Take the folder "Darwine" and place it somewhere convenient (Such as the desktop) But the closer to your rom directory the better.


Code
DISCLAIMER:
Download DOES NOT INCLUDE ROMS


Now open ZSNES-1.51.dmg and place ZSNES in your rom directory (for convenience)


ZSNES DMG (MAC)


ZSNES in my rom directory...

Next since this is the first run, right click Lunar Magic.exe and select WineHelper in the Darwine Folder.

THIS Should happen AFTER FIRST RUN


SUCCESS!


The same thing for lunar IPS.

Now, remember that I told you to put darwine close to the rom directory?

If you choose to open a rom it will put you in the darwine directory and so you will always have to navigate to the rom directory just to open a rom...


However this does not apply to the open recent command.

Now ZSNES...
ZSNES works just like the windows one does. It is already a .app so you don't need darwine.

I believe for powerPC users have to use SNES9X for mac.

------------- CHEEAPTER 3 -------------
Other Programs (xOPx)
------------------------------------------

The programs that I know of that work are.

Lunar Magic
Lunar IPS
YY-CHR

Programs that I know DON'T work at all or don't function properly

Xkas (all)
BlockTool (all)
Addmusic (all)

Please help me check if there are any more that work or do not work with darwine.

-------------- FAQ (xFAQx) -----------------

I. Love. You.

It's been SOOOOO long that I've been looking to do this. Awesome. It's a shame BT doesn't work, but I'm not too torn up over it. YY-CHR is cool enough...

EDIT: Two questions. Does this work on an intel mac?
EDIT2: Disregard second question. An00bistupid.

This is good for people with Mac, but didn't the rules say to use good grammar in your tutorials?

I do realize that the improper grammar is generally to emphasize people with their complaints, but it is just plain annoying.

Loved the tutorial even though I am a PC user. Hopefully this will help Mac users to get more into hacking!

Im sorry, my English isn't perfect. If there are serious mistakes can someone point out to me?

Also it is strange that the palette editor does not work, it works on mine.

Also this is all I know. I'm a newbie to smw hacking...

D: If it helps at all, mine makes a low pitched beep and crashes when I click a color in the editor...

EDIT: Just throwing this out there, I have tested WinSPC, and much to my surprise, it works! :D


Still no luck with palette editor though :<>:

I've kinda got Blocktool to work. Just use CrossOver instead of Darwine.

Edit: Blocktool emulated by CrossOver works flawlessly, and I've managed to create some working blocks with it.
