SAHunterMech here, long-time fan, first-time modder.

I recently got PSA working in a wineskin on my mac... I tested it out with a quick change (I just increased damages), and it works great. I have that app and BrawlBox in a hybrid wineskin; should I bother to post a mediafire link for it?

UPDATE: Please go here for the current version of BrawlBox/PSA for Mac.

First of all...Hiya Welcome to the forums ;D

Well this should go on programming.

Looks like a mod already moved it. Anyway, maybe I'll just post the link as soon as I can upload the Wineskin to mediafire, and we'll see if there's any fellow mac users out there.

Could be useful when I want to Brawl Hack in Info Tech Class...

Also, Welcome!

Here it is.

Sorry it took so long; I've been busy lately, working on some promising new mods.

BrawlBox and PSA are contained in this one app. To switch between them, simply hold option while double clicking on the app, click 'Advanced', and browse to the windows .exe of your choice, both of which are in 'Program Files'.

Also, there's a glitch that causes a crash whenever you go into the model editor in BrawlBox. If anyone can show me how to fix this in Wineskin, that would be great.

Edit: Looks like the link I posted somehow reverted to just one of the 3 parts of the file; I fixed it so it shows the whole folder.

Sorry to hear that; I always seem to have trouble with MediaFire.

I have triple checked the replacement files; they're uploading now, same link. Again, I apologize for this.

EDIT: Finally. It's Ready..

How do I use Wineskins? I'm new to this... enlighten me... lol

First off... I assume you put together the 8 parts already, yes?

Anyway... a Wineskin is just a 'wrapper' around a Windows application that runs Natively on your mac, as if it was a mac application. BrawlBox and PSA are contained in this one app. To switch between them, simply hold option while double clicking on the app, click 'Advanced', and browse to the windows .exe of your choice, both of which are in 'Program Files'.

After you've chosen the .exe, exit out of the Wineskin menu and just double click on the app. It will take a minute to load, but it should work.

even I find this interesting...
and I HATE Apple :srs:
(Apple: Derp... what does 'expandable' mean?)

could this essentially work for any windows exe,
or would it be too complex??

either way... congrats ;)

you have been through a lot of hassle. I've watched every topic you posted on this, and most of them seemed to disintegrate gradually.
But the coolest part was that you didn't stop working on it despite that.

Well, essentially, yes, but sometimes it just doesn't work. Cross-platform limitations and all. Still, out of all the programs I've tried putting a Wineskin over, only about 5% of them have refused to work.

In terms of complexity, 90% of the time it's just a drag-and-drop effort (I mean, you still have to install any extras like DirectX you need on Windows, but it's the same amount of effort on either platform), and 10% of the time you get some technical trouble... but really, only 1% of the time is this trouble Mac-Only.

that's quite a low percentage rate for problems.
very nice :D

I'll definatly consider using this if I ever find myself on a mac ;)

The only downside to Wineskin is that getting help with anything is... difficult to say the least. It's sort of a self-taught experience. There isn't really a proper manual anywhere that I know of. Kind of a shame.

The files won't load in mediafire. No matter how long how long I have "My Files" open,  they just... don't appear.
