I have been trying to get VRC to work on my Mac Book Air using WineBottler. I am having some trouble. From what I can see I have done most things fine up until now here is where I am at. http://i.imgur.com/sEyCEdm.png. What do I do from here please may someone help me. Also before it shows what is showed up in the last screen shot it says this. http://i.imgur.com/rlzbIDd.png. Please may someone help.

 

Thank You.

Samuel.

If I recall, VRC installs to your home directory on a Mac (which is weird, because there is no real 'home'). I'd say search your computer for the VRC.ini file. I've gotten it working in the past with WineBottler but haven't tried to again in the past two years.

Search for VRC (on it's own). It should have it's own folder (that is probably different from your install directory)

Version 1.2.4 looks for the INI file in "My Docomeents\VRC" ... no idea where that maps to on a Mac with Winebottler.

You need to again find where rhe VRC.ini is located. The file that you add for sweatbox shoule be put there.

You just contradicted yourself. I'd recommend you search for one of the sound files to find its location.

I have got my 2011 MacBook Pro dual bootable through boot camp with VRC and a few other basic programs on the Windows partition. I am considering buying Parallels and linking that with the Windows already on the partition so I don't have to re-boot.
