VNR Port on Mac!

Sorry, just saw this recently. @little-crazy-misha-minion has tipped that Visual Novel Reader, or VNR, can now be run on Mac via Wine :D This has definitely expanded the list of BL games we can play on Mac! If you want to know more about VNR, head over to their wiki~

Now, I haven’t personally tried this, too. But I think this does work. Well, mac.eroge does link to VNR as a resource after all. /shrugs Then I stumbled upon another tumblog trying to run VNR along a VN though unsuccessfully. I remembered those days when I tried to run AGTH on Wineskin to no avail, too. /sigh Anyway, I’m gonna try this sometime. Though surely not anytime soon, haha.

Finished Hiroshi’s route~ Yay! The only problem I encountered was my mac kept restarting when I play for long intervals. I’m not sure if it’s because my OS isn’t updated or it has something to do with the game/wrapper itself. /shrugs

Is the game good though?

I’m not really good with reviews. I play them simply to quench my yaoi thirst lol so I don’t think I’m a reliable person to answer this. Honestly, though, I fell asleep while playing this. I found it too..erm, for the lack of a better term, boring and slow-paced. The only thing that pushed me to continue was Haru’s interesting personality and Hiroshi’s cute moans (which got pretty annoying at their last intercourse). Though I think it’s because of the bgm that’s why I fell asleep here and there, haha.

Anyway, after finishing Hiroshi’s End 1 (or, Bad End 1), I became more intrigued with Haru. So I’ll keep playing just to know more about him.

hello. I’m on the tedious work of fixing the tutorial pages. I’m sorry for the trouble!

EDIT: I've updated the following pages by removing their hidden tags: basics, dmmd, hidaka shitsuji, dmmd crash help. if there are more pages that needed fixing, just shoot me a message :)

[blonmac]

Please note, this only works with the Hardcopy version of the game, not the download edition!

I know that this blog has been neglected already and I’m really sorry about that. Life has been nothing but a butt to me :< Aaanyway, I had some free time to spare checking out this game again. It turns out some kindhearted soul already made a tutorial on installing No, Thank You!! on OSX with Wineskin. This guide, btw, has been noticed by the MangaGamer staff themselves. So, it’s a good guide.

As for me, I only have the demo now. And I’m trying different “tricks” to fix the videos in the game. Just watch it off youtube or somewhere :)) I still plan on publishing my own guide, well, for the downloaded version, more likely. :)

About No39...

I got around to try it earlier. I just reused a Hadaka Shitsuji wrapper and it worked. Was able to [insert spolier here] until after the first choice, where it--uh, crashed. /sigh I’m guessing it’s the repeat of DMMd problems. Mac drivers are unable to render the video(?) or graphics properly. /sigh Anyway, it doesn’t seem as hopeless as DMMd, though. Another issue would be the size and shape of the game window. As you would notice from the screen cap about, the window size seems to be  4:3. Fortunately, though, there are window sizing options in the game settings. w Will keep trying it out. Btw, I’m using the demo for the meantime. Cheers~

Woah

I think I lived under a rock for a long time.. You see, it’s only now that I saw this wonderful tutorial on playing DMMd using WINE (yep, not Wineskin). Checkout the tutorial by imbatman over at AarinFantasy! —> here

If you have been following me since the time I started this blog (which I doubt many of you did), I’ve been posting technical stuff regarding making DMMd work on Mac. You see, Wineskin is actually using WINE to make Windows programs work on Mac. So, if you’re more comfortable with using Terminal, I suggest you try following that guide.

Phew. Those are the asks I can answer. My inbox has a lot of messages, still. Meaning: if your ask is left unanswered, it means I don't know how to fix it. Sorry. >_<

As I'm more than busy with school, please expect continued delays with my answers. Thank you very much for understanding. <(_ _)>

[blonmac]

I apologize for not attending to this blog and answering your asks. I'll try to reply to some later.

For a quick answer to the mounting issue, please refer to this ask. Alternatively, please refer to this webpage. I'll try to post a simple guide of mounting later.

EDIT: Omg. I'm sorry. I posted this earlier when on mobile. It's now fixed with the links. A few asks will be answered on queue.
