I see, I missed the sentence for Darwine that said "DirectDraw and Direct3D applications do not run at all", which of course will make all Touhou games unplayable. According to this some person found a way for it to work :S Jonathanasdf 07:52, 7 November 2008 (UTC) We don't like giving users a bad impression of Wine. The main reason is that Apple X11 is badly broken, and Wine doesn't run well with it.
: If you are running Mac OS X there are no official builds yet. Good luck! TOUHOU-Tyle 07:40, 7 November 2008 (UTC) Heh. Wine, a program to run windows executables, is cross-platform for most non-Microsoft operative systems.Look up the, search for the Mac section, and you will hopefully get enough information to get all things running.

I read somewhere that it had to do something with extracting something. My friend owns a Mac, and would like to know how you would run a touhou game under a mac. They all run fullspeed except for when you capture a large spell card (and everything turns to points) They also can't run in fullscreen, so what I did was used the Zoom feature in Universal Access to get them as close to fullscreen as possible. I haven't tried Touhou 1-5 so I can't confirm if they work or not, the Touhou 12 demo DOES NOT work.
Just wanted to update this page, Touhou 6-11 all run fine using Crossover Games for OS X. Hope this information can help more Mac users enjoy these games. Of course, this won't work with installs, but it does mean that you don't have to keep your computer in Japan mode every time you want to play Touhou. This can be circumvented by renaming the relevant folders with English characters. When installing or running the games, the Japanese text will prevent the game from executing properly if your locale isn't set to Japan (this is in System Preferences->International->Formats). One problem that can surprise you is the locale. Other than this hitch, the games can be run by following the instructions present in the section on running them in Linux. Still unplayable, but this may have something to do with the graphics card of the computer I used and may not be a universal problem, since others have manged to get 11 and 12 to run through crossover. From the sound I was able to infer the game was playing properly, since I could hear it scrolling through the menus and playing a game. Worse, after displaying the initial loading screen, 11 and 12 go completely blank. 11 and 12 execute fine, although they crash the bottle when they close. 6-9 work with fullscreen, 10 works windowed. New update, Touhou 6-10 confirmed to work fine with Crossover. Forums: Index > Help desk > How would you run Touhou on a Mac?
