Lunar Magic for Mac?

Link Thread Closed

Okay, I think this is where to post this, but I'm new here, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

Is there a Lunar Magic for Mac OS X or does anyone know how to convert the current Lunar Magic so it will work on Mac OS X? I want to make a hack, but I only have a Mac (hey, that rhymes!) so I don't know if it will work or not.

Or, if you would like to, I could use an assistant to help make the hack, as you can see by my signature. I've only used Lunar Magic once, so I don't know a whole lot about it. I'd need a professional for the hack I'm trying to make.
I don't think LM will run on a Mac, because it was created for Windows, and Mac is completely different to that. I honestly don't think you'll get an LM to work on a Mac.

Also, don't worry if you find LM hard to use. I found it quite hard initially, but with the help of LM's help file and tutorials around here, it became extremely simple to work with. Not to mention that you could post any problem you face with LM in the relevant forum.

Also, LM is one of the best level editors made, because of how flexible it is.
You could try getting Crossover for the Mac and run LM with that. Or you could get VMware Fusion and run it with that. I think there is a free version of Crossover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goLbH1m4tw8

Oh, I understand that. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to convert LM so it works on Mac. But thankz.

Well...do you know how to play .spc music on Mac? Or something? I don't know if there is a Mac version of WINAMP, like MACAMP, but...yeah, I dunno. :)

Really? Sweet! I can't get VMWare (it costs over 800 dollars! Jeez!), but I might try Crossover.
Making a port to something takes a lot of time and hard hard effort. Unfortunately I don't think LM will ever get ported. But you can always use the programs I suggested!! ^^

You can run LM from WINE, which should run fine on a mac computer. So far I have not found any LM issues with WINE. Also if you have mono install you should be able to get the linux patched version of BTSD running on you mac. As for a .spc player you could use Audio overload, which has a mac version.

Links for the above mentioned programs:
http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:OSX
http://www.winehq.org/ (I recommend using wine 1.1.27 dev version and not stable, dev has many many many more bug fixes.)
http://www.bannister.org/software/ao.htm
Okay, Audio Overload isn't working. I'm trying WINE now.

Wait, I'm too young to drink wine. LOLOL!!!

EDIT: I can't find a good download button for WINE, so I'll go with the other program, Crossover.

NONE OF THE PROGRAMS ARE WORKING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Okay...calm down...Is there anything else I could use for Lunar Magic and/or the music player?

Also on the note of spc files you can try this http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/psfplay/

Crossover if I am not mistaken is paid, and is actually a sister project to WINE in the long run. Good luck with whichever you choose.
FINALLY! I got the music player to work!

Now...I will download more music for my game. I have a list right here:

Title Screen: Stickerbrush Symphony (downloaded)
Overworld Level: NSMB Overworld Level
Athletic Level: Super Paper Mario World 1-1
Underground Level: Yoshi's Island Underground
Invincible: Super Paper Mario Starman (where he tuns to a giant 8-bit Mario)
Beach Levels: Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga Gwarhar Lagoon/Oho Oasis

That's all I have decided so far. Does anyone know if any of these songs have been made or have a URL to any of them?

You can probably find them on vgmusic.com ^^

Nah, never mind. I'm just using what I can find.

Now, then...any other ways I can run LM on Mac? Crossover and WINE didn't work.

Also, how do I view sprites, blocks, and stuff like that? Would I have to use LM?
How did Crossover now work??
Did you install it and get it up and running at all?

You could always try virtualbox? That would allow you to run a copy of windows inside of your mac install.

I am running Fedora 11 and with WINE I managed to get LM working without any issues(Make sure to use the development version and not stable version). Try running LM from terminal and see if WINE shows and errors. Fixme notices can be ignored, so if you see those there generally should not be a problem.

If you get any errors post them back here and we can try to work something out.

No, when it was done downloading, I opened the .dmg file and it came out as a text document. Is it a .exe? Because my Mac won't run .exe, just .app.

.exe - Windows executable
.app - Macintosh application

Virtualbox won't work. I don't have an Intel-based Mac. The only Virtualbox, apearantly, that works for Mac, only seves Intel-based Macs. Anything else?

It's not an exe it's a .app for apple computers. Post a screenshot of this:

I don't full understand what you mean.

Well, to be more specific, it wouldn't open with anything exept a word processor. What I meant by "text document" was not text in English, but in computer language (not just the 1s and 0s, but other codes).
If I remember correctly a .dmg file is a "image"(similar to ISO). Try http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/crossover-mac/install it may help.
No, .dmg is like a...well, its icon on a Mac looks like a hard drive, so I guess it could be a...I don't know. .png is an image, is that what you were thinking? .dmg and .png sound very similar, so I can see where that thought occurred.

Wait...would I have to pay for it? I'm looking for something free and limitless.

Or I guess I could hire someone to help me. Like, I come up with, like, development and all, and then they do their magic in Lunar Magic, you know...seriously, I could do that. And I could test because I already have the emulator.
Ah, once again Mac gets pwnd by windows WHY ISN'T THAT IN A COMMERCIAL!?!
I could imagine it
Windows:Well mac i finally found several reasons why to NOT get a mac.
Mac:Well, tell me
Windows:THAT I WILL, mac that I will. *ahem*
you have made it so i cannot talk for the last hundreds of commercials that through and through windows lovers hate.
Mac:well thats-
Windows: IM NOT FINISHED YOU UGLY PEICE OF OVER PRICED GOLDEN TURD!
For one, you are so overpriced its retarded...900 dollars for something that can't run Lunar magic?
Mac:whats Lunar ma-
Windows: OH its the best super mario hacking system of all time and you can't have it mister golden turd! MUAHAHAHAHA!
Well, I don't think that would actually ever happen, but it DOES sound funny. I'm sittin' here, laughin' my butt off!

But not to get off topic. Is there anything else that could run Lunar Magic on Mac? Crossover (no download button), Virtualbox (only for Intels), and WINE (becuase I'm too young to drink wine!) don't work.
