Click "+" and click ''download and install" after that you should be able to create new wrapper

This is how to get osu! running on mac OS high sierra if you want the stable release, NOT the latest release. Osu! will work but will be locked to the Stable (Fallback) release stream. This should be a guarentee for osu! to work on your mac (with OS high sierra), but if not let me know:

1. Download the 'Stable Release (2015-10-17)' from the osu download for mac website, http://osuosx.tumblr.com/

2. Once downloaded and placed into applications, right click on osu!, click on 'show package contents' and open winsekin.

3. In wineskin, click on 'set screen options' and make sure only the two top boxes are checked, 'Use mac driver instead of x11' and 'decorate windows'

4. Now go back to main winsekin window, click on 'advanced', then 'tools', then 'winetricks' and in the search bar, search 'video', click on 'settings' and check the box which says 'videomemorysixe=2048' and run this. (If you get an error when trying to run, then go back to 'tools' and click 'kill wineskin process')

5. Now click on 'test run' or just open up osu! normally, and it should work.



So, I tried this and it worked. Thank you for this :D :D :D. However, I did notice a problem with the framerate for some reason. It would occasionally have random lag spikes while playing a beatmap.

I found out all the settings in "Framelimiter" will lag you, except V-sync. I have no idea why this is. Im using a laptop too. It might be different on an actual desktop than a laptop lol


Hey, When I try updating, it says it updates, but then closes and tried again endlessly

I can't get past step 6.

So first, thanks for using my work, always great to share.

The whole thing for dotnet40 is, winetrick included is an ancient version and needs manual update before install everything.

Osu only require dotnet40 not 45, and in wine this is a pain to install coz it always throws errors after successful install.

I've updated the package a few days ago to fix a few bugs and fix the icon problem (but cjkfont would be dead with this update

I've update the package and it should work without modifying (unless you have install security update 2018-001 which would take some effort to make it work

I followed these steps and osu! installed I think but now I get the error that osu! is "Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application."

I am also getting the same problem as Pybeats but I don't understand what Mic238 said. Can someone help me?

If you read the instruction from my github page, you'll realise there's no need to make a new blank wrapper or etc. The download file is sufficient to run by itself.

I didn't use installation guide when I made the wrapper so I also have no idea what happened there. Moving an working app into a new wrapper doesn't make any sense for me either.

I finally figured out a solution to this problem, but it is still likely not to work - it is worth a shot if you want the latest release of osu!

- Because the mac thinks that you have a higher version of the frmaework, it got me thinking to see what would happen if i tried to install a higher framework, so in winetricks (open wineskin in your wrapper, go to advanced, click 'winetricks') search 'dotnet45' and check the box which says this and run it.

- Once this has been run you should try to install the version framework 4 again (click on winsekin, install software, choose setup executable, then click on the dotnet40 file that had been installed)

- it should work this time around and will tell you to restart your mac, do this and when you run osu! again it might work

**This may not work and will probably give you you a configuration error when trying to run osu! But if it works please let me know**



This opens osu however osu kept on saying "your game client is being updated". Hope that helped for anyone wanting to try

This is a well known issue and had been discussed for hundreds time if not thousands.
Solution: download discord-rpc.dll from somewhere and put in osu folder manually

Same Problem tho. Running on High sierra. We got to the point were Osu! starts but havin a Problem with this Advanced thingy. Like there is no Option for it... Are we lookin in the wrong place? So using the "Osu! Wrapper" opens Osu! and opening Wineskin gives no such options like "Advanced"

i get stuck on step 6. it says that "you either do not have permission to move, or there is already a folder with that name in the wrapper's program files folder".

:sigh I don't know how many times I have to say, Read the document on GitHub and you'll find that it's a full game sufficient to run by itself, you wouldn't need to deal with wine wrapper unless you want to pain yourself.

PS. I'm the author of that GitHub page
