After months of not finding time to fix the remaining problems with the OS X build of osu!, I have decided to make it public in its current state. You may have issues importing songs, but this can usually be fixed by mashing escape or alt-f4.

Please note this is a test release (beta if you like) and there are known bugs. That said, feel free to share your experiences in this thread and try and help each other out until the bugs are ironed out :).


http://m1.ppy.sh/osu!.20141010.dmg
http://m2.ppy.sh/osu!.20141010.dmg


Compatible with OS X 10.6~10.9.x

Things to know:
  1. The first time you run osu!, it may take up to 5 minutes to start. This is due to X11 (the graphical subsystem) rebuilding a font cache.
  2. This build will always start the updater when you run it. It will update to newer releases and therefore when the remaining issues are fixed you will automatically receive the fixes.
  3. Importing songs may get stuck. If this happens, try alt-f4 or esc mashing, or quit osu! and run it again.
  4. To see the osu! folder, right-click on osu!.app and choose "Show Package Contents" then navigate to Contents/Resources/winePrefix/drive_c/osu/
  5. Apparently you can load new songs by dragging the .osz file to the osu! icon.
Adding Beatmaps:

Open the package:


Navigate to the songs folder:


Drag your osz files inside:


Run osu! and goto song selection (or hit F5 if you are already there).

Note that you can make a shortcut to the songs folder on your desktop by dragging the folder while holding command and option. This should make it easier to load new maps for now!

I have a question concerning online connection/Bancho.

When we can connect osu! for OS X, will our scores/stats appear from the time when we couldn't connect our scores/states online? I signed in in the app, but it just gave a connection error concerning not being able to connect to online/Bancho (which I was well aware of before downloading), so I'm not sure if any data will be saved... It shows that I'm "jmnixon95", but I'm not sure if that is the local name or my online account.

make sure you see X11 (wine?) on your dock
if X11 not loaded OSU wont run

and so far after short time testing it, i test beatmap with vids and none
either windowed mode or full screen there is frame spike / drop (i test with no other apps running, except istats menus)
maybe higher processor (i7 quad core mac can run it smooth? )

but again this still on beta, so yeah i think we need to wait for few next releases, i think OSU mac will as stable as windows version

Installed it and added beatmaps without any problems so far. Not sure if its a known issue or just me but when I try to change my mouse sensitivity higher than default it bugs out my mouse till I put it back (using Razer Deathadder not mac mouse). Buggy as in if i were using a wireless and the batteries were running out. I know its just beta and appreciate you guys making a OS X version!

As mentioned in peppy's first post, it can take some time for the application to open even with X11 installed. It took around four or five minutes for mine, but if X11 isn't installed, it'll surely take longer as it won't run.

You are unable to log into Bancho right now because this version of wine apparently doesn't allow it. You are just stuck playing without scores or multi for now. Sorry :/

if only you had read this thread properly instead.

the current client version has some issues where under wine, connectivity cannot be made due to issues with the emulator not enumerating network devices properly.

we've known this since i first packaged the application a few months ago, but have never had time to get around to fixing it.

there's a client workaround which can be done for this and when some development time is available, i am sure it will be addressed.

Wow, Peppy! This is great! How do you get this to run on mac? I thought osu! revolved around .NET Framework!? Great job, anywho!

EDIT : Oh it's in wine -_- Sorry just realized that. *facepalm*

It's working perfectly. Well done, peppy. So far I haven't encountered any problems, although... I had fps spikes without the "low-end pc" settings.
I have an Intel Core i7 @ 2 Ghz and a AMD Radeon HD 6490M @ 256 MB. Not sure if it's because the specs are too low. Well, at least I can also play on my mac now. Can't complain about that :p

Everything works nicely for me as well. I have decent FPS and have yet to encounter lag (even with graphics heavy maps). However I had to change my music offset to -36 in order to time it with the notes, and for some reason, my mouse movement doesn't seem as precise as on my PC (using the same mouse and DPI settings).
Thanks for bringing osu! to the mac, looking forward to more improvements on this!

I'm pretty sure X11 come with the computer
Check Application > Utilities > probably the very last thing in the folder is X11 (looks like a white box with an X in it)

hope this helps :)

Hey Guys, 5I'm French guys, sorry for my English whi isn't excelent)

Well, I have a little (big) problem: I downloaded osu! for Mac OS X this morning. Then, I have a file .zip. I opened this file and he show me the file osu.app. So double click on this file, I wait 5,6,7minutes and...nothing.
Next, I decided to vérify if I have X11 and yes I have this program. So I started and I leaved him open. Then, I reclick on osu.app witch X11 open. 5,6,7minutes...and nothing.

So I don't understand xD. Why osu.app doesn't run? I have X11 so whi I can start the program?

I need your help, please.

Same here. I open it on my mac and it immediatley goes off. Even when I put a beatmap into teh songs folder! :(
[deleted user]

I still can't see the songs that I installed on osu. I can't press f5, because it will go to spaces, and I've restarted it about 10 times. I don't know what to do anymore, I've never had a problem with it before.

Can anyone with positive results on a macbook post? I don't know if the lag issues I'm having are with my computer or not. No background programs or processes running, osu runs barely playable on the low-end PC setting and I have a 2010 macbook with i7 and gefore 8800 so I feel like this may be representative of a computer problem but wanted to et a benchmark. Is osu that graphics intensive? Other mac users who report no issues are you on Macs or Macbooks? thx for a great game I love it on my PC but I wanna play it on campus!!!

Thanks for this, but it's a tad too laggy to play on my 2010 MacBook Air...and this Mac is better than most Macs out there. =/

Tried 800x600 and runs well at ~100fps. Awesome stuff! Now to wait for Bancho support to come back, and I'll start playing this great game again. Stopped playing since uninstalling windows. :)

Two problems:

1. The song usually doesn't show up after importing and they don't even show up if you to quit and start again many, many times. You have to delete all the old songs for the new ones to show up...and drag the old ones back in from the trash.

2. The spinner is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING since it stops spinning if your cursor leaves the window. This is a big problem. I am failing every spinner right now.

Your MacBook Pro is definitely more powerful than my Air...so something's wrong. I'm getting pretty good frames.

1. You need to press F5 a few times while at the song select screen. It takes a while but it should auto-refresh your song list with the new beatmaps.

2. I agree with this. However, there is still the fullscreen option, even if it might take a while to get accustomed to.

i am very new to this game, i saw my friend playing it on his pc and wondered if they had it for mac. i downloaded it for my ipod so i figured there would be a mac version and im glad there is!
i am having troubles getting it to work though.

i think a few other people in this thread have the same problem as me where i open osu! and it stays open but nothing else happens. i know it says it takes up to 5 minutes but i have been waiting longer than that and nothing :(
i do have x11, and im on a macbook pro 15" from 2010

i noticed that its called osuwine, so does that mean i need to install wine or something as well?
and also when i open osu! is x11 supposed to open automatically or do i need to open that myself?

sorry, im a n00b and this is probably frustrating to read but i really just want to play :D

i will keep trying to figure it out but if someone can help ide appreciate it :)

Yes, you need to have the newest version of wine installed as well. And x11 opening automatically is exactly what's supposed to happen :P

Will osu! on the mac support skins? I got the accuracy skin, and put it in the skins folder but it's not working. Am I supposed to refresh the game, or turn it on and off again until the skin loads?

no, you don't

the entire point of this package is that wine is bundled together with osu so that it runs -nearly- standalone.

please go back and reread this thread - a couple of people have had the same issue.

If osu is running through wine, why can't it go online? If osu is running on wine, then it should be able to because wine doesn't do anything to the internet.

Is it being fixed? At some point, will osu multiplayer be available for the mac?

if it were that simple, then it would be running online already.

wine only provides a platform for programs to run on non-windows systems. this platform is constantly under development and as such, some features are in varying state of completion. the reason why osu!mac doesn't work online is because the platform for communicating with the server is not functioning properly at a wine level - something which needs to be addressed by the wine developers more than anything else.

i read the whole thread, i tried leaving it open for long over 10 minutes, i tried again with wine open and i tried again by opening x 11 first and i still cant get it -_-

I have a Macbook Pro and Osu! works fine for me as long as I have it set to low-end PC. If I don't have it on low-end PC game lags. The special modes, on the other hand, work fine under any of the settings.

osu is runnable and all; songs are importable, everything(most) seems to work

but the only problem is that everytime a slider(i hope im calling it right) appears, it seems to "lag" a bit and causes a slowdown/drop in fps temporary. also, i've noticed that during the slowdown, the mouse clicks often does not register.

not sure if it's something im doing wrong ;;

I think that the slowdown is happening for most people. Have you tried setting Osu! to low-end pc? That seemed to fix the problem for me.

I just downloaded this and followed the instructions but I cannot get my beatmaps to show up in Osu! I have tried dragging them and just opening them and letting Osu open on its own but it doesnt do anything. I also cannot log-in on the game, could that be causing the problem?

I dragged the .osz beatmaps into the song folder, and the program lists the songs being imported - however they don't show up for play. When I check the folder again, it seems the .osz files have been converted into folders?
