Ephinea PSOBB client for macOS 10.15+ & Apple Silicon

Thank you!

I tried new one.
Update on launcher is automatically skipped.

But PSO run with "! DLL ERROR !".
then connect to server, it gets "This server is full" error.

First time boot, it need xattr command.
(version used in previous post also need xattr command)
Does this matter?
The command I think is necessary because it detects the application is not signed and all, but don't think it is correlated since some other people seems to be able to play.

So it is strange, I am guessing it is failing to load the Ephinea dll for some reasons.
It is difficult to identify the problem as I don't know how the injection work, and looking at the Linux thread, it happens to Intel too. :(

Have you any log about the error in EphineaPSO.app/drive_c/EphineaPSO/log ?
Maybe also /EphineaPSO.app/Logs

When I attempt to launch the game after opening the PSOBB Ephinea launcher, the game just doesn't open. Any ideas?

Games broken on MacOS (probably forever)

Just install windows via bootcamp (or without bootcamp like i did once LOL)
 
Hello, back again. I have a new m2 mini and 5.0 isn’t working for me. The terminal command after moving the app into the applications folder just returns that there is no file:

xattr: No such file: /Applications/EphineaPSO.app/Contents/SharedSupport/prefix/dosdevices/d:

App just says it’s damaged and to delete it.

The new Apple DirectX 12 to metal translation layer may actually work out for Ephinea in combination with dgVoodoo and using the DX12 API.

Haven’t looked into it myself, but may play around with it later on my M1 Air…

Hi Sodaboy, have you had any luck with this? I have an M1 MacBook Air and I would love to be able to play on it, if possible. Thank you!
 
I'd be interested to learn about that too. Atm I still have my PC, but might only have am M1 at home soon :O

I actually had the same issue in the beginning; try the terminal input again. Are you sure you wrote it correctly? If i remember correctly, for whatever reason there were a couple of letters added to my terminal entry that i copied from the thread here, then i corrected the input and tried again and it worked. Also, afterwards, open the app multiple times and wait a while in between, didn't really work at first, took a long time to open, but now it's quick and flawless.
I have a new M2 MacBook Air with Ventura 13.5, so it definitely should work for you as well in the end.
 
I am Japanese. What should I do when switching to Japanese in text chat? The machine I'm using is a MacBook Pro US keyboard.
 
I can confirm this is still working on MacOS! 2021 M1 Macbook Pro running Sonoma.

I had the same experience as omgmrtea. Running Ephinea the first time gave me "EphineaPSO is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash"
When i pasted the command from the original post it added some additional characters to the end. It said "xattr -cr /Applications/EphineaPSO.app<200b>" - deleted the <200b> part and the command was accepted. The terminal still said Access Denied, but i ran Ephinea afterwards and it launched without issues!

Running on Macbook Air M2 15" 16GB RAM here, MacOS Sonoma 14.2

does anyone know how to fix the massive slowdowns no matter what settings / resolution you use ? As soon as the lobby is filled with more than 5 characters fps drops to 15, same in game. So it's almost unplayable.

I have absolutely no idea how can I fix this problem, game works great except the drops

I would love to hear this as well. I am running on an M2 Max with 96gigs of ram and not sure what the optimized settings should be to run this.
