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..

I will try building a wrapper soon since wineskin is being updated to the latest version of wine

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

Bootcamp is kinda janky, I would just use a hypervisor like UTM.

 I used wineskin to create an m1 port of pkhex. This one is a little bit outdated, so make sure to right click this application, click "Show Package Contents", drive_c, Program Files, and open the PKHeX folder. Replace the PKHeX.exe you find in there with the latest version of PKHeX. Enjoy

Sometimes Mac OS will flag the app as unsafe or damaged. To get around this, open terminal and type "xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine (drag pkhex.app here)" then hit enter.

I tried the command in terminal and it gave me an error says drag pkhex here not found. what else do I need to do to run this? btw just need this to hack in rare candy for  some roms.

Did you ever get around to building a new wrapper?

I was having the same issue and got it fixed by changing the windows version to "Windows 7" using winecfg

Awesome, that just fixed it for me too! I never would've expected setting the windows version to an earlier version would fix this issue haha.

Early 2020 Intel Mac. At other times I can let it run for hours without any problem though. This thread really helped a lot.

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!

I got the pkhex.exe file and the winestable 9.0 file as well, do I need anything else to run it?? I'm stuck I switch winestable to windows 7 through "winecfg", and when I go to open pkhex with winestable it does nothing

I can try and help - but first a few questions. What happens when you try and run it? How did you download wine-stable 9.0? Lastly, what OS are you using?

I hit run and it looks like it's loading but it never opens, I got wine through this link (https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases), and I'm running the latest OS (Sonoma 14.4.1)

 

[Ace Playz]

i am having this problem but none of the solutions previously in chat worked for me what do i do? i use an m1 macbook pro with ventura 13.2.1 and the app has a circle with a cross on it and when i replaced the wineskin files partially with the originals, it just told me to download .net 8.0.4 and after i did it still didnt work.

Hmm... I would suggest using homebrew in the mac terminal (https://brew.sh/) and then run "brew install wine-stable" (without quotes). That way you wouldn't have to build anything from their github. After it installs, run "winecfg" and change the OS to use "Windows 7" (as that seems to fix the weird popup errors we had been getting so far).

You could also try the wrapper originally posted in this thread, I'm just unfamiliar with how those work.

So I've installed Wine Stable and .NET 7.0 Runtime. The .NET installer ran just fine and installed properly, but when I try to run PKHeX using the following command:

wine64 path/to/PKHeX.exe

the Terminal window hangs on the following message:

0024:fixme:system:SetThreadDpiHostingBehavior (1): stub

Have you tried just using wine and not wine64? And did you set the appropriate wine configurations mentioned earlier in this thread?

Admittedly I'm not sure what could be going wrong as I've basically used a fresh install of wine to do this so I haven't changed anything not listed here... what macOS are you using?

Hi, so I'm on M1 Mac and the older version 2022_12_18 works perfectly, but whenever I try to add newer version of PKHeXs which are running on .NET 8. The application fails to launch. Are you still planning to make an update to this?

That's fair. I reinstalled Wine multiple times and still no dice. I'm on Sonoma 14.5

Okay, so I used brew to update wine and downloaded the latest version of both PKHeX and .NET and got this error:

Failed to create CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x80070005
0024:fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW ((null),L".NET Runtime"): stub
0024:fixme:advapi:ReportEventW (00000000CAFE4242,0x0001,0x0000,0x000003ff,0000000000000000,0x0001,0x00000000,000000000019FDA0,0000000000000000): stub

So while an error is better than straight up freezing, this isn't much better. I've done some light research and it appears to be an issue with both PKHeX and .NET. Not much we can do about it

Admittedly... I'm not sure what could be happening. I am also running the newest wine-stable from homebrew, the newest PKHeX, and the same macOS as you, and mine runs perfectly fine. I worry that I've downloaded something in the past that's allowing this to work without me knowing.. You may want to try the wrapper that someone else was working on in this thread? That or download the exe file for the older version of PKHeX that was able to run with an earlier version of wine.

[Mew3]

I downloaded the file from drive, duplictaed the package contents onto another folder and converted the folder into an .app. It no longer flags it as tampered with, but it just doesn't open, and I cannot proceed. Any suggestions?

I will try rebuilding another app later on tonight.

[dtingley11222]

seems like downloading the latest wine from https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases works just fine. I used the Wine-Devel release, installed .NET 9 and ran `wine` in terminal.

I tried using wineskin to make a portable app for people to use but that kept crashing. 

[NewHobby]

Thanks to @dtingley11222 being kind enough to help me in DMs, I figured I should share his explanation here too. Worked for me first try without any headaches on my M1 Pro:

All you have to do is download the wine zip [wine-devel-10.0-osx64.tar.xz] from github (https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases) and then double click to open it, After that, just run `wine (drag pkhex.exe into the window)` and it will ask to download .NET. After it downloads .NET, run `wine (drag .NET exe into the window)` and then press install when it opens. After it's finished installing, run `wine (drag pkhex.exe into the window)` and then hit enter. PKHeX should open and run normally, and from now on all you need to run is `wine (drag pkhex.exe into the window)` in the terminal

The Cherry On Top

What I chose to do, and what I think others might be interested in too, is an app icon that runs this command for you. Using Apple Shortcuts this can be done very easily, and it will even show in Spotlight search.

1) Grab my PKHeX shortcut that leverages a custom launch command: (https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/2de8268a0547420c86e2c51ca5bea82b) and add it to your library. Follow the setup instructions to add your file paths.

• File paths can be easily grabbed by right clicking the app/exe, holding the Option key, and choosing "Copy ___ as Pathname".

2) Once added to your Shortcuts library, right click and choose "Add to Dock".

 

Optional, change the icon:

3) Remove it from your dock then locate it in your User > Applications folder.

4) Right click and select "Get Info". You can now drag any image onto the icon at the top left of the window to replace it.

5) Done! You can now run PKHeX on your M-Series Mac by running this "app". The icon can be moved anywhere, or even put back into your dock.

 

Hope someone finds this useful!
