Installing Pokémon Uranium with Wine issues

[Noobie]

Hi!

So I really want to play pokémon uranium on my Macbook Pro.

So I look up how to install pokémon uranium on mac, and find this link: http://pokemon-uranium.tumblr.com/post/ ... n-mac-os-x

It tells me to download wine, and so I did, but then I realize that there's no application for wine.
I look it up and find this link: https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/

There it tells me that wine has to be run through the terminal, and so I follow the instructions and I manage to successfully download wine through the terminal (I think?).

But then comes the part I'm stuck on.

I download the pokémon uranium game, which turns out is a .rar file. Wine won't successfully install the file, so I open the file with UnRarX. As a result I got: a file named Pokémon Uranium 1.0.msi, another file named Uranium.rgssad and a folder named Graphics filled with lots of .png files.

The first sourche told me to run the .msi file with wine, so I try that with the Terminal by typing:

Code: Select all

wine Pokémon Uranium 1.0.msi

But the Terminal responds with:

Code: Select all

wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Poke\00cc\0081mon.exe"

I think that maybe the missing part is in one of the other parts I got from the .rar file, so I try putting all the things the .rar file gave me in a folder and run the code again with the folder's name instead.
But I get the exact same message again!

I also noticed that in the first source I used, the person writing it seems to be using a wine app or something (even though I couldn't find one) and the second source says that the file I run in wine should end with .exe, even though the first source says I should run the .msi file.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Or another way to run things on wine?

Ok, I tried using

Code: Select all

wine msiexec /i whatever.msi

And nothing really happened. (It hesitated a little, but then it was ready for another input like usual.)

Then I tried using

Code: Select all

wine start whatever.msi

And I get this in response

Code: Select all

fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

You need to substitute the real name of the .msi file for "whatever.msi" in the command line.

Ok!
Thank you so much for the help!

I managed run the game, and it ran pretty smoothly.

Unfortunately the game crashed after 5 minutes of gameplay, but the problem might lie within the file rather than Wine?
So I'll see what I can do about it myself from here on out.

thnx!
