Fallout 3 GOTY MAC OSX - Wine Wrapper ONLY

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Originally created by HK1295. Description: This is a Fallout 3 GOTY wine wrapper just download and follow instructions to play - works great Chromium/Cider status: GREEN, fully playable System requirements Mac OS version: Leopard, or Snow Leopard Min. Processor: Intel 2.0ghz Min RAM: 2gb Video RAM: 256mb Hard-disk Space: 10GB ScreenShots: Notes/Known Issues . You may not even need G4WL disabler but incase you do it is included. . This has NOT been tested with GMA chipsets or ATI. This was tested on my nvidia 9400m and 9600m GT . This game runs smooth on: 10.5.6 Leopard with 2.4ghz Intel, 512 VRAM, and 4gb of ram . This games screen sometimes gets stuck on loading when entering a new area just Quicksave then reboot the game. . Has same issues as other fallout 3 wrappers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [EDIT] - 20 May 2010 - LooseMorals This is the wrapper only. Taken from the full game upload. I have deleted the game from the package. You will need to install your own copy of this game... The path for the game is (right click - show package contents): Fallout 3 GOTY/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Fallout 3 Your install should replace the last directory 'Fallout 3' The best way to do this is to install your version of the game in VMware fusion, Paralleles or similar (Bootcamp whatever), then copy the 'Fallout 3' folder into this location in the wrapper. Good Luck LooseMorals PS. HK1295 mentions in his text that the screen gets stuck and that to resolve the problem - just save and restart. I have found that when the screen gets stuck (I get a black screen), that just tabbing (cmd + tab) to the finder and back to fallout will solve the problem without needing to reboot the app. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What is Wine? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29 Basically it is a technology that allows you to run Windows Software native on your Mac. Similar to VMware and paralleles but not quite the same (ie: it is not an emulation or virtual machine as such). All you need to know is you can play Windows Games on your Mac. Note: You will need a copy of the game to install into the wine wrapper!

Followed all of the instructions, and upon launch i get a missing file error. it's usually an x11 error.
maybe its missing the .ini file?? it goes into a different folder upon install.
I used crossover to do the install

Hi, I'm not an expert in these wrappers, the best place to ask is here: http://portingteam.com/ for general questions. It is were the original full game wrapper came from. All I did was delete the Fallout directory. I tested by replacing the directory with one I installed into VMWare from GOTY PC installer.
The alternative is to download the game already wrapped.

LooseMorals (2010-12-06)

The reason I prepared a wrapper only was there was some demand for it on http://portingteam.com/ where one had expired and was no longer available.

LooseMorals (2010-12-06)

@ Dolorana Yes thats correct. Just install GOTY in VMWare then copy the Fallout Directory into the wrapper.

LooseMorals (2010-12-06)

@ Dolorana - sorry correction, just re-read your post. Its not tested on the normal game. Just try it and see what luck you have.

Every time I try to install the game into the wrapper it freezes up at the beginning of the installation. I've tried several different FO3 downloads and they all do the same. Anyone know what to do?

LooseMorals (2011-12-04)

Intall the game in VMWare, then move it to the wrapper

LooseMorals (2011-12-04)

@edvanvesstid yes it will work, if you get the game of the year edition.

Having a strange issue. I used Crossover and installed it where it's supposed to and it runs great, however the strange part is no matter what resolution setting I put (I tried 1920x1080 for my 21.5 iMac) it goes fullscreen but half of it is only actual game. The rest is black screen. If you could get back to me on this I'd really appreciate it.

Olim12 (2013-01-13)

Can someone walk me through this whole process? I'm new to all of this and I am really lost..
