My friend owns a Mac, and would like to know how you would run a touhou game under a mac. I read somewhere that it had to do something with extracting something. Can all games run properly under a Mac?

- Being a Linux user, I can't say for sure that this will work, but the tricks mentioned in Running_in_Linux should probably apply for Mac OS as well. Wine, a program to run windows executables, is cross-platform for most non-Microsoft operative systems.Look up the [Wine FAQ], search for the Mac section, and you will hopefully get enough information to get all things running. Good luck! TOUHOU-Tyle 07:40, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- Heh... [Quote]: If you are running Mac OS X there are no official builds yet. The main reason is that Apple X11 is badly broken, and Wine doesn't run well with it. We don't like giving users a bad impression of Wine.
So yeah that is the problem. According to this http://blog.seiha.org/2007/08/touhou-mac-vs-pc/ some person found a way for it to work :S Jonathanasdf 07:52, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- I see, I missed the sentence for Darwine that said "DirectDraw and Direct3D applications do not run at all", which of course will make all Touhou games unplayable. Too bad :( TOUHOU-Tyle 08:23, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
