Heroes of Might and Magic 3 on a Mac

New Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDI4sfh66kA

A simple tutorial on how to run Heroes of Might and Magic 3 on a Mac. No shady downloads involved, Just use your existing copy of Homm3, an icon image, and Wineskin
Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wineskin/files/Wineskin%20Winery.app.zip/down...

More info:

where or how did you download the game? have been trying too get this game for months!!!! help me! :(

[Arcranine]

@Iano1141 A good question. I'm sorry to bother you again, but it seems that the legal PC copy i bought (built for 95- window XP) is not installing the information i need. Please help!

@Arcranine If you dont have the exe file on the cd, instal it on xp first, and then copy the exe file it makes over to your mac (i dont remember any more it it does or does not have it, if it does just copy it from the cd)

@Iano1141 gog

If you want to get it illegally search for it on torrent sites.

[Ap0colyps6]

@rionsanura all of your apps (such as Wineskin.app or HOMM3.app) are actually folders, if you right click and select 'Show Package Contents' you will go into the folder.

@Ap0colyps6 I can't find it through a normal finder window; I can't get any lower in the file hierarchy than "Wineskin". Is it not indexed yet, or is there some trick? Btw, thanks for introducing us all to this program. Looks awesome, if I can figure out how to use it.

What's the difference between Wineskin and Darwine... Does it just pack everything up in an .app package...? So that it just runs stand alone as its own app?

That's what it looks like... also why the fuck haven't I heard of wineskin wtf... lol

@Anders130689 When they ask you if you wanna install DirectX even though it is already installed, say yes. I tried that and it worked, however one fourth of my screen doesn't show. Let me know if you find a solution to that.. I don't know if the problem is from the version I have, or something in the settings though. I'm gonna try to buy a different version and see how it goes

I'm going to give this a shot this weekend so I have some HoMMIII goodness to occupy me between classes this winter, I really hope this works- Thank you so much!

[Anders130689]

Thx for a great tutorial. I have one problem though. When i start the game/app the video doesn't work. I can hear the sound but the video is a complete mess. Any suggestions to what i should do?

[blueazul1988]

Okay. So I have an original PC disc, but I can't figure out how to get the files uploaded to the Mac, so that I have a HMM3 folder in the desktop like the video shows. Help please?
