Ephinea PSOBB client for macOS 10.15+ & Apple Silicon

I end up playing with Parallels, which is also not very comfortable, and there is a fee for it.
How much better it would be if I could play with Wineskin.

I also vouch for Parallels over VMWare (free ver) - my expectations for playing are pretty low (low details, texture), I just wanted good frame rate & responsive inputs

VMware Fusion free doesn't really exist anymore. I mean, as it once was. Now there is just the Pro version which is now free. I honestly didn't notice any difference playing PSOBB on the Mac with Parallels over VMware. I also didn't have any performance issues outside of the one I patched.

I wasn't running it at any sort of insane resolution or high effects, though. But yeah, it was just fine for playing the game.

Combining VMware Fusion Pro, again which is free, and "Activation Scripts" would let you get playing PSOBB on Ephinea pretty easily at any rate.
 
Has anyone figured out a way to deal with the choppy framerate when loading into the lobby with a lot of players? Would love to know anyone's opinion on this and your results for better gameplay. Thanks!

The only "solution" I've found is to not use the wineskin app unfortunately. I'm on an M1 Macbook Pro, and running it through VMWare is rock solid without frame drops. Even crowded lobbies and rooms with a lot of mobs are stable.
 
Hi! Thank you guys so much! I'm so happy finally can play it again after two decades.

I come across this post and sadly the one provided cannot run on my M1 mac (Sequoia). The reason, probably, is that the latest OS doesn't support wineskin anymore cuz wineskin is no longer updated, or, probably changed to its successor Sikarugir.

I got your idea and tried using Sikarugir to wrap and I can finally play successfully. I don't know how to share the .app. tho. But it is a solution...

( I failed few times cuz I should choose the 32-bit wrap something but I didn't)

ps I tried VMware as well. I could install and hardly play with an awful delay and frame loss. Sadly.
