Doesn't matter whether there's any demand, as the lead developer does not intend to include it.
My (probably incorrect) base assumption is that it would be extra work when they're doing it for free, yadda yadda, etc.
As inaccurate as it would be, you get how it's unfair to the lead developer to do something they don't wanna, right?

Tagging me here won't be of any help; I don't use macOS.

Find some way to boot windows somehow, then boot PKHeX. Most, if not all, of present day methods, revolve around that.

I’m not asking for any of the PKHeX developers to support macOS.

I tagged you so your informed on how PKHeX for macOS worked, also if there seems to be a demand for a macOS version/guide I could provide those.

@theSLAYER seems PKHeX for macOS thread really didn’t explain things cleanly.

How that worked PKHeX.exe was ran using wine wrapped into a native macOS app bundle. Any idea if there’s any real demand for this?

PKHeX doesn’t run with wine-mono-6.2.0.

You need to install native .Net

A mod really should just lock this thread since @jasenyoface hasn’t been online in over a year & I really don’t want to constantly post the same information when someone can’t get PKHeX working on macOS.

The current first post is externally outdated and won’t function on any recent version of macOS.

@Gaetanik your message is very hard to read.

If you followed the steps in my last comment PKHeX would be working, if it’s not working ether you didn’t follow the steps accurately or you have a crappy anti virus/malware that’s incorrectly flagging the wrapper.

This was confirmed to be working on macOS Mojave and also macOS Big Sur for Intel and Apple Silicon systems.

I won’t be providing another step by step guide in this thread as I’ve done this for CrossOver, also won’t be upgrading the wrapper again as there’s no point other then replacing the PKHeX.exe and that’s easy enough for the user to do.

As this thread has been abandoned I don’t see any point in providing support for someone else’s thread when it just ends up causing me an additional headache.

Sorry for disturbing. I downloaded your file "PKHeX_20.12.30.txz" from the MEGA website you provided but after unzipping the .app file cannot be opened.

The warning is “PKHeX.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash."

I tried to open te winewrapper executable directly and results in the same warning in the end.

I would appreciate your help. Thanks!

You didn’t remove the quarantine flag, I’d recommend the following.

Before extracting run the following command in terminal;
 

xattr -drs com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads

Next extract the archive, however don’t use kaka or it will restore the quarantine flag making that’s what’s making the app seem like it corrupted aka GateKeeper is doing its job.

Once WineCX20.0.2 Engine is available publicly for Wineskin I’ll update the copy of PKHeX I’ve provided so it will also run on Apple Silicon devices via Rosetta2

Edit;

Added a new updated wrapper that functions on M1 systems, this should also run on macOS High Sierra but not sure if it runs below this version. Any feedback on if it works below macOS High Sierra is appreciated.

Does anybody know how to open PKHek in Mac Big Sur?I tried all of posts tutorial  but not work any more.

 

Last I checked the wrapper I’d provided was working on macOS Big Sur, I’ll retest this once I’ve reinstalled the current version on a 256GB SSD

I download GitHub the what do I do now

I’ve explained what to do, here is is again;

• download latest release
• unpack the archive
• rename directory “plugins”
• move “plugins” directly to PKHeX.exe location
• launch “PKHeX”

@pkman99how did you get it to work on Mac cause I had to redownload mines several times but couldn't get auto level mod in it 

 

Download the latest version from GitHub

• unpack the archive
• rename directory “plugins”
• move “plugins” directly to PKHeX.exe location
• launch wrapper

Not sure if the PKHeX version that's for download now was rebuilt or something but "Auto Legality Mod" is working for me

14 hours ago, Adamoadam said:

Are we able to use the Auto Mod if we use the WineSkin version and not a CrossOver? Or did I place the files in the wrong place?

I believe that’s in the correct location, you don’t require CrossOver-19 as the wrapper I provided includes WineCX19.0.1 that’s the core of CrossOver-19.0.1 (19.0.2 had broken too many things) plus additional patches.

If your running macOS Catalina the plugins were lightly blocked from loading check setting, security and you’ll lightly see it’s asking if you want to allow them, that or something changed within PKHeX or the Plugins code causing it to now fail when running via wine

What do you mean it doesn’t work, go though the thread the original wrapper and my updated version have been shown to work.

Id also provided instructions on getting PKHeX working using CrossOver if that’s preferred

does anybody know how to install and use PkHeX on MacBook 

I’ve not retested Autolegality, still resolving upstream wine regressions, getting libtapi/cctools/ld64 updated in a macports allowed manner and Beta testing CrossOver-20 on macOS Big Sur

@Annabizzle I guess you’ve already figured you just needed to resolve the old PKHeX.exe with the latest one?

@pkman99 Hi! Can you confirm if the Auto Legality Mod plugin is working with this last update? Thanks!

Not had time to verify this, at the moment I’m fixing some packages on macports-ports

I’m not aware of any issues with wine-stable-5.0.1 that would prevent .Net from being installed.

As I spend the majority of my time in macOS I use a CrossOver-19 based compile (Wine-4.12.1 with thousands of patches)

Just make a clean 32Bit prefix then run

winetricks -q dotnet46

Once that’s done you should be all set as long as all wines requirements are installed

PKHeX can be ran using wine ether the version of wine your using had bugs/built wrong/missing libraries or you didn’t install the required version of .Net using winetricks.

@Kas1302 I’ve never needed to crack CrossOver, I download it from the Advocates section in my account or download the latest source and compile it.

also the 500MB doesn’t take everything into account just an fwi

@Kas1302 I don’t use Winebottler so no clue what the hell its doing to cause this. I’m using Unofficial Wineskin with the CrossOver-19.0.1 based Engine

Why don’t you just use CrossOver as you already have it installed, you can easily create a launcher for PKHeX

I think the question was regarding the Auto Legality Mod, above the Showdown drop off menu. 

Also, is there a reason why my PKHex file is 8 GB in size lol? I downloaded the file from this page, it's a neat 8.6 MB file but once I converted it with WineBottler (I'm running Mojave) it took a big amount of time to install, and it is now a gigantic 8.53 GB file on my storage. Any idea? Should I reinstall again? I want to also note that I took about 20 attempts for PKHeX to work. I messed around with different wine tricks and options until it finally worked out. 

From there responses that was the case, but as it was mentioned within the reply I assumed they were asking about the security settings I was showing

Not sure why your copy is almost 9GB when mine is just under 2GB.

The reason the PKHeX for mac is larger then the Windows executable is really simple, there is no mac version of PKHeX instead the Windows version is ran using a wine wrapper.

The wine based wrapper contains;

• wine
• wineprefix (the fake windows environment)
• required dylibs
• PKHeX.exe
• .Net framework

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but everytime I import a save when I open the game it shows me that the saved game data is corrupted. I've tried with JK and Checkpoint. 

Are you transferring the save over TFP?, if you are set the transfer type to binary.

wtf are all these options?

Exclusive to macos version ?

Those are macOS Catalina and later security settings, I allowed my PKHeX wrapper access to the listed locations

If those security setting are not set PKHeX won’t have access to the listed locations, well unless you have SIP disabled but I don’t expect a normal user to ever have SIP disabled

@pkman99 Did you test with Crossover 19 works on Big Sur?

No I skipped checking it since wine-crossover-19.0.1 works.

I didn’t see much point testing CrossOver-19 since there the same thing just CodeWeavers shinny GUI and pearl wrappers are used

I'm running on MacOS Catalina and it does not work. I open it, and nothing happens. Please help!
*MacOS Catalina version 10.15.5*

I’ve posted about the status of each project May 24th, nothing has changed.

And here @stackx revised the steps I’d posted precisely from memory while at work.
