MacOS Game-Porting-Toolkit (wine/proton) Usage

[benjaminvinschroeder]

Hey Guys,
reffering to the readme file these widescreen fixes also enable you to run older windows games on Apple Silicon with Game-Porting-Toolkit.
" - For using with WINE, follow this guide."

I'll have to test this further but it seems like some games just wont start because WINE is trying to start them in fullscreen in an unsupported resolution (i guess this is due to macos handling resolutions differently).

This was the output from running the games' exe through terminal with wine32on64 command:

• The last line is important
• After following the instruction above (changing wine setting for dinput8), the errors did no longer occur and the widescreenfix not only fixed the game to widescreen, it also enabled me to start it on macos ;)

wine32on64 output:

Wherever the windowed mode option is available in a WS/generic/fusion fix, use it. I'm not sure how this Wine variant communicates through to Mac OS' display manager, but if it's anything like the old days of Mac Wine, you shouldn't have much problems if the resolution is exposed by EDID and System Settings.
