As someone who has previously 'maintained' a wineskin for osu! On mac, this is pretty amazing considering that you made an entire agent program for this!
- Unofficial Wineskin Winery You can download it from github releases here. And then create a Wineskin with WS11WineCX 64/32bit19.0. All WS11 versions support Catalina.
- Wineskin Unofficial Update. Contribute to Gcenx/WineskinServer development by creating an account on GitHub. Minimum requirements; mac OS X 10.9 or greater macOS Catalina 10.15.4 or greater No Apple Silicon support at this time Wine on macOS.
- Once it finishes downloading, click it to extract. Once it's done, you'll be shown an application named Wineskin Winery in your Downloads folder. Right-click on it and click Open to open it. (You may need to accept a Gatekeeper security prompt before continuing.) Once Wineskin Winery opens, click the plus icon below the empty list at the top.
Since the unofficial Wrapper was integrated, there seems there have been some nasty bugs in Portingkit. Most of the problems were related on both sides having a few issues which ended up in some install failures. Most of them are now luckily fixed and Porting Kit is because of that much more stable now. Thanks to some good troubleshooting of Gcenx and Vitor, we have Portingkit way more where we want it to be.

Wineskin Winery Catalina
Update upcoming 64bit only 10.15 Catalina:
Although the good news above, here also a status update of the coming of the new Mac OS 10.15 Catalina. We haven’t processed a lot yet because of lot’s work/business in out private lives. The first focus is a Linux version, which is in development, but is still in starting fase. So there is still lots of work to do. One thing is for sure, we will not make it when the New OS Catalina gets released. We will do our best to get a something “Virtual” around, but it will be quite later after the release of Catalina.
So if you still want to use Porting Kit after release of Catalina, make sure you turn off the the automatic update. Because if you update to Mac OS Catalina, 32bit will be totally dead and portingkit itself will open up fine, but the 32bit games will not launch anymore. “But if you create a 64bit engine, will the games then not work?” No because the games itself are still 32bit and calls one 32bit processes, which simply cannot be done anymore. Simply and plainly, Apple pulls the plug and it seems there is no way back…. So the advise!? Don’t update to OS Catalina if you love (older) games!!!
