hi everyone!
i somehow managed to make a modern osu! wineskin from scratch. it actually works, and i've been testing it for the past hour or so on macOS mojave. it's pretty good, so i'll be releasing it here if that's okay.
here's what's different:
- uses the wineskin fork mentioned by Electric_espeon: https://github.com/vitor251093/wineskin. much more stable and reliable than original wineskin. i used the binaries from here: https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer
- runs wine 4.0-rc3 (WS9Wine4.0-rc3) instead of wine 2.22 (WS9Wine2.22)
- uses wineskin wrapper version 2.8.8beta6 instead of 2.6.2
stuff that was fixed:
- previously, large image assets such as map backgrounds or skin elements would overload the game. these are now handled fine without any freezing (for example, beasttrollmc's new noel skin and sotarks's pp compilation no longer hang the game)
- i haven't tested this for over a day yet, but it seems to be much more stable now, being less prone to crashes!
- it seems that most of the graphical lag has been eliminated (for the most part), seems to be less screen tearing (i use 60fps limiter and played for a bit, was buttery smooth)
- links no longer take 5-30 minutes to open in your browser (thank god), now open instantly
stuff that wasn't fixed:
- cjk fonts still don't work correctly
- tccd (contact daemon on macOS) keeps on hogging CPU, causing lag (for now, you can just kill it from activity monitor)
stuff that wasn't tested at all:
- f.lux (i use night shift)
- multi monitor/screen

as always, make sure the app isn't sandboxed by moving it somewhere, and right click > open because it's unsigned and gatekeeper doesn't like that
if you are getting a "osu! can't be opened. You should move it to the trash." message, open Terminal and run this command with the path to the osu!.app:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine "~/path/to/my/osu!.app"
special thanks to Technocoder for his work and giving me inspiration, Electric_espeon for mentioning the fork in the first place
happy holidays and stuff! 🎄 <3
(btw, this wineskin doesn't necessitate xquartz, just like the original from technocoder)
Can confirm, the wrapper works fine out of the box after that command is run; can't see any graphical or performance differences from my perspective after about 5 minutes of playing but it may be better for others. You might want to open a new thread for your wrapper because I'm pretty sure it's going to get lost down here.
