I’ll use a silly imported Japanese game (for Windows 95 released 1996) as our example here.

Now, finally, the ‘Create New Blank Wrapper’ button should be activated.

This should return you to the main menu, whereupon you have to click ‘Update’ under ‘Wrapper Version’ if it still says ‘No Wrapper Installed.’ Winery confuses the user by referring to the wrapper-generator component as the “Wrapper” – no, the wrapper is what you as the user are expected to create.

But what you want to do is ‘Download and Install’ one of these engines, probably the newest one. Clicking the ‘+’ button, the choices (as of the time of this writing) include one called WS9Wine1.7.30.

When you launch Winery, you pretty much just have an empty window with the option to download and install an “engine,” which is the underlying version of Wine that will be used to create a compatibility “wrapper” for a particular game.

Here we’ll go through an example with Wineskin Winery. Sometimes referred to as just “Wineskin” or just “Winery.” The UI is very unfriendly, but does offer a little more configurability than WineBottler, and doesn’t have any donation-begging, nor do you have to suffer through ads in order to download it like you do with WineBottler.

WineBottler, which is the easier option to use and has a nicer looking UI, but doesn’t support using different versions of Wine per application, which you might find helpful for older games that can run on Windows 95 but crash on XP.

But you wouldn’t want to run it that way. So there are a couple of different choices for GUI front-ends. Wine itself is a command-line program, installable via MacPorts. Even though it’s technically not an emulator, it fits the theme of this blog. Here’s a walkthrough.

Years ago it was called “Windows Emulator,” but later it became Wine Is Not An Emulator. And it’s not – it doesn’t translate instructions, it just translates functions (“system calls”) from Windows to POSIX, which they call a “wrapper” (wraps the Windows software to intercept its Windows API calls).

Most games from the Windows-era of PC gaming (as in, pre-modern/pre-Steam-era, or roughly 1995-2005) can be run on Intel Macs (Macs made after ~2006) thanks to a compatibility layer called Wine. Then rip the disc and convert its TOC to a CUE with these two commands: $ cdrdao read-cd -datafile image.bin -driver generic-mmc:0x20000 -read-raw image.toc Observe which drive is the disc drive with the first command, and use that path in the second command: $ diskutil list If you have MacPorts, the command is as follows: $ sudo port install cdrdaoīacking up a PS1 disc in cuesheet format, using cdrdaoįind and unmount the disc filesystem. Note that your binary image file has to be named consistently with what is in each CUE file.įirst, you need to install the “cdrdao” package from either MacPorts (recommended), Fink, or from source. It would fail with weird errors unless I provided the game in cuesheet format.Īlmost any cuesheet file can be found at . In fact, you can just download every cuesheet for a given system all at once, which is nice. Maybe it will preclude you from having to create your own, if you ripped your games as ISO.

I realized the need for cuesheet format when I tried to use the Mednafen emulator to play a Playstation 1 game I backed up in ISO format. Most 16-bit era CD games were this kind of disc, and sometimes it was used in the early games of the PS1/Saturn generation. You can rip all of their data, but without metadata to indicate the track boundaries, it seems that multi-track disc images can’t be properly handled (?). I mentioned in my first post in this series that many old games use “mixed-mode discs” (audio and data as separate tracks). Well there’s actually a case where cdrdao is needed, and that is when your emulator wants game images in the “ cuesheet” format (a pair of files with the file extensions.

In a previous post, I mentioned that two command-line utilities for making optical disc images on Mac OS X were dd and cdrdao, but I recommended dd because it was simpler to use. Preserving CD and DVD-based Console Games (Pt. 2) Preserving CD and DVD-based Console Games
