mac I Need Help With PKHeX for Macbook Pro M1

Currently is working for me.

wine64 PKHeX.exe

wine64 windowsdesktop-runtime-7.0.11-win-x64.exe

 

I've just attempted this by downloading wine-stable and then trying to run the runtime installer, but nothing happens. I get a lot of text with warnings, which seems to be normal, and then nothing happens and nothing is running. Trying to run PKHeX results in an even longer error screen ending with a complain that the .NET application failed. What do you see when you run these things? Is this with a fresh install of wine-stable, or did you make configuration changes to get this to work?

So if I just type those commands it says that the file is not found. If I type wine64 path/to/windowsdesktop-runtime-7.0.11-win-x64.exe then my Mac says that it cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. Does that have to do with disabling SIP? (Thank you so much for your help btw!)

I can help with that one - you need to use "wine64 /path/to/windowsdesktop-runtime-7.0.11-win-x64.exe" to do it properly just as you said. As far as the verification, you need to find the file itself in the file browser and Right Click > Open With > wine-stable and when the popup shows up hit "Open". (If that option isn't there, hit cancel a few times and try it again.)

Tried it. It seems to want to open the program but then it crashes. The Wine Stable logo appears on the dock, then the app closes and disappears.

Yup - unfortunately now you're at the point where I'm stuck. This process works in "wine-crossover" as I mentioned in an earlier post (the .NET installer loads and everything!) but then nothing actually operates properly. The reason wine-crossover doesn't work may be because it's not using Wine 8.0 (like wine-stable) which can run .NET 7, so we're sort of stuck unless we can get either to work.

Damn. Thanks for all your help tho! I thought it was possible since dtingley11222 just said that he's got it and it's currently working for him.

On my m1 machine everything is broken. We simply have to wait until wine fixes these issues. It's only a matter of time.

If you right click + open you'll bypass the warning

I mean you can still use the old builds for everything up to gen 6 with limited gen 8 support (have to be careful about editing ivs with max raids (max lair, dens, etc), like don't edit them at all.)

I'm new to this, is there a way you can do a step by step explanation again to do it on Mac M1. I tried and got lost and confused a lot

 Ah - I had not realized there was a github repo for the project! I see that there is a version (22.12.18) that uses .NET 4.6, which is definitely usable with wine! https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/releases/tag/22.12.18 I've tried this and it works perfectly! I had to compile the project on a Windows machine, but now the executable can be run with wine-stable. These instructions will be for macOS.

1. Open the Terminal application. Type "brew install wine-stable". (If you do not have homebrew, check out how to do it here! https://docs.brew.sh/Installation)

2. Download the .EXE file for PKHeX 22.12.18 here (I've attached it to this post). If that makes you nervous, download Visual Studio Code on any Windows machine and follow these instructions. Make sure you're building a "Release" version and you're building the 22.12.18 release I linked above!

3. Go into your Finder, find the PKHeX.exe and Right Click -> Open With -> Wine Stable! It should work perfectly now.

(Note that this is an older version of PKHeX, so it's missing the newer updates and additions to the app.)

PKHeX.exe

Clarified which release to build in step 2.

So, thank you for the assistance. I've got homebrew installed, and PKHeX gives me the missing .NET as predicted. When i try to install using wine64, I get the error message "Bad EXE format for Z:\Users\[name]\[folder]\windowsdesktop-runtime-7.0.11-win-x64.exe." Not sure what's going on here. I'm running it on an Intel Mac, Ventura 13.4.

I haven’t gotten that error before, but we’ve all been having trouble running that installer or using .NET 7 in some fashion. That’s why in my steps I built a release of PKHeX that used .NET 4.6, so you don’t need to run that installer. It seemed that my wine environment already had that runtime installed, so all I had to do was run PKHeX.

Yes, this is a much older version of pkhex, therefore you will not be able to use it for gen 9 (unless you never updated lol) or you cannot trust max raid/lair legality in generation 8.

I already built a pkhex using wineskin, so people only have to download PKHeX from the link I provided.

Stumbled across this thread after attempting literally every other method and trying to do this on my own, this is the only thing that worked for me on my Intel MBP as of rn. Thank you!!

Hello! I am back with another wrapper of PKHeX. This one doesn't work with M series macs, but it is a working 64 bit intel app. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b1TSHorbOZT0Zpg8c_vkxfjfGtpazvn4/view?usp=sharing md5: af3c7859f86aecf453aa5f344614dc0a

For M series users, I would recommend checking out UTM: https://mac.getutm.app/

UTM is an optimized hypervisor for mac, and it is REALLY fast if you virtualize windows.

Any chance for another updated one using .Net 8 required for the latest PKHeX version?

Awesome! Thank you!

Looks like wine-stable just updated to version 9.0 - this seems to run the newest version of PKHeX perfectly! The days of older versions/wrappers are over haha

 

Edit: Well.. it seems to crash every time I hit "File", so maybe we continue with these other fixes for now..

Edit 2: As Hau pointed out in a later post, if you set your windows version to Windows 7.0 in `winecfg`, then running the newest PKHeX works perfectly with wine-9.0!

might not help but i would suggest just getting bootcamp if you can
