hi everyone, I hope it's alright if I put this here.
I've set up a website where I've written some documentation on how to install either Techno's and slc's wineskin on macOS, as well as addressing common issues and questions.
Hopefully it provides a more comprehensive and user-friendly interface for people to get osu! running on their mac by themselves. The documentation on the osu! knowledge base is quite outdated, and it's definitely hard to dig through forum threads and things like that, and I wanted to make it really easy to follow with lots of detail.
You can find the site live here: https://osu-mac.readthedocs.io
the docs are open-source so you can contribute on GitHub: https://github.com/aidswidjaja/osu-mac
Feel free to open a GitHub issue if you would like to add anything
docs are still in beta so if there's anything I need to fix, do, any questions/enquiries too, please open a GitHub issue at https://github.com/aidswidjaja/osu-mac which is the easiest way I can get back to you. Alternatively you can PM me on osu! or DM me on Discord (aidswidjaja#2805) but I won't be checking the forums too much since I'm a pretty busy boi
Otherwise, I hope this helps some people and makes the osu!mac onboarding experience easier. I'm also new to the forums so please let me know if I need to change anything or if this is the wrong place for this.
thanks a lot!

Wow, nice job! I saw that you had starred my tool and made this repository a while ago but I wasn't sure what you were planning on doing with it. This is fantastic!
Regarding importing beatmaps and skins (
https://osu-mac.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome/import.html), I still recommend using osu!macOS Agent to do this as it will automatically handle things like extraction and alphanumeric characters. I don't know if you plan on having a section for this.
Regarding transferring data from another Wineskin (
https://osu-mac.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome/transfer.html), I think it should be made clear that transferring just the Skins and Songs folder will not transfer your scores and replays over (that requires the scores.db and Replays folder and probably some other files?) which I learnt the hard way (rip 2017 replays).
Regarding compatibility mode, macOS Agent will also disable it as part of its troubleshooting sequence. Are you sure it's called "osu!fallback"? I've only ever seen that term used for the Stable Fallback versison of osu!.
Regarding the startup issues with Catalina, these are only present in my experimental Catalina version as the execute.bat file exists as part of Discord Rich Presence now.
Regarding Discord Rich Presence, it's not just that I converted the system calls to 64 bit. The system calls in the original repository are for
Linux, not macOS which is why you won't find it working by default. Great job on figuring out that it can't run on 32 bit Wine! That's explained why no one seems to be able to get Rich Presence on any of the older Wineskins.
(Small nitpick: I think it'd be better to expand out contractions like "rn" and "ofc")
(Looks like there's some minor markdown formatting issues in the Acknowledgements page)
