It’s built onWine, an engine made for developers to help the quickly port software.

For more intense programs, you’ll likely want todual boot WindowswithApple’s Boot Camp softwareinstead.

With that out of the way, let’s port some software.

Once you’ve got it, go ahead and drag the file to your Applications folder and launch it.

A wrapper is a set of registry files and a fake C: drive.

You’ll need to make a new wrapper for each app you want to port.

This is where things get a little weird.

An engine includes a bunch of configs that can help you run software.

Just nudge the “+” button and choose the engine you want to use for your software port.

So, I did some digging to figure out why.

Thankfully, Wine HQ features ahuge list of software compatibility.

Aftersearching for Torchlight II, I found that it only works with WS9 1.7.16.

I had to download and installMonoandGecko.

Click “Yes” to open up a window in Finder

Your wrapper is now created.

You’ll see three options here: Install Software, Set Screen Options, and Advanced.

Unless you know your software is fully compatible with no additional tweaks, hold off on installing for now.

Instead, click “Advanced.”

The Advanced setting has a ton of options, and most of them are pretty confusing.

WineTricks is a script that installs basic components into your wrapper.

These are usually Microsoft DLL files and fonts that can fix problems with your ports.

There are a billion WineTricks to choose from, but you’ll find guides forinstalling them here.

At a glance, all this stuff is pretty overwhelming and hard to really understand.

Don’t worry though.

You have a couple of options for figuring out which configs you oughta alter.

The first place you should check isWine HQ.

Take a look at theTeam Fortress 2 pageas an example.

Unfortunately, Torchlight II doesn’t have a very good page on Wine HQ.

So, I turned to Google and foundIAM SysAdmin’s poston getting it to work.

tap on the “Tools” tab at the top then “Winetricks”.

From the search field at the top jot down in “msxml3 select it and run.

Search for vcrun2010, select, and press the Run button.

punch the “Close” button to terminate the Winetricks window.

Under the Tools tab, select “Config Utility”.

punch the Graphics tab.

Select “Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows”.

punch the Libraries tab.

Under “New override for library” select dwrite then hit the Add button.

opt for dwrite override then smack the Edit button.

hit the “Install Software” on the Wineskin Advanced page.

Click “Choose Setup Executable”.

Run through the setup just like you would if you were on a Windows computer.

When the installation process is complete, you should be able to run your software.

You’ll find your ports in your Wineskin folder (User > Applications > Wineskin).

Just double-click your newly created app to run it.
