Cossacks 2 Anthology for Mac

On November 14, 2019   /   Game Port, GOG.com Games, Strategy   /   Leave a comment

Yes, finally! The long requested Cossacks 2 Anthology for Mac from GOG.com is now available in the Porting Kit database split in 2 game installs: Cossacks 2 – Napoleonic Wars and Cossacks 2 – Battle for Europe. Both game works very nice, although it is required to do a one time action (deselect the “videos” in the in-game settings) before starting your first game. I played a few hours without any issues. It’s a really addictive game.

Just remember to not update to Mac OS Catalina yet, because of the 32-bit support drop of Mac OS 10.15. We are still working on a solution.

Game description:
In Cossacks II: Napoleonic Wars, lead your 19th century army to glory in this much-anticipated sequel to the internationally acclaimed Cossacks: European Wars. Whether fighting as Napoleon’s highly disciplined “Grande Armée”, the tenacious Russians and their Cossack horseback warriors, the Austrians, Britons, Prussians, or Egyptians, the challenges will be daunting as you master weapons and tactics during a time that redefined modern warfare.

Install is Simple:
1. Get Porting Kit or Crossover if you don’t have it yet.
2. Then download the GOG.com setup file from Cossacks 2 Anthology from GOG (Remember to download the “offline backup setup files” into your download folder.
3. Then in Porting Kit search the game in the library –> server tab and click install.
4. After installation of the game, “exit” the GOG installer.
5. Click “Play” to start the game! Have fun!

Jack Keane and Jack Keane 2 added to Portingkit!

On November 8, 2019   /   Adventure, Game Port, GOG.com Games   /   Leave a comment

If you love adventure games, then I have some good news! As well the GOG.com version of Jack Keane and Jack Keane 2 has been ported to Mac and added to Porting Kit! In both games you play Jack Keane who drops in all kind of adventures. The makers claim: “Never has an adventure been as cinematic, fast-paced and humorous, without breaking any of the iconic point & click gameplay rules.State of the art 3D-graphics, gripping action-sequences and the typical bizarre Jack Keanesque humour will be an absolute delight to all adventure fans.”

About Jack Keane (1):
Jack Keane has on GOG.com a Mac version but only works until 10.10, so it’s way out of date and won’t work on the Mac OS for more then 5 years. So I made this Compatible again up to Mac OS Mojave and works great, even on lower end Mac’s. Yep we are still working on Catalina compatibility, this takes time, so wait with updating with your Mac OS if you still want to keep playing your games!

Go to the Jack Keane Porting Kit page up here…

About Jack Keane 2:
A great graphical animation adventure game! Follow-up of the first game, Jack Keane 2 – The Fire Within, latest Wine versions fixed some shadow problems, so I was able to port this game now with issues. The game does however requires at least a medium to high-end Mac, because of the high end graphics in the game, but again works great :D.

Go to the Jack Keane 2 Porting Kit page up here…

You can also of course search the game in the Porting Kit App database. It will contain at the moment (for 2 weeks) a “New” badge on the game icon as you are used to when a new game gets added in Porting Kit.

A few weeks back XIII has been released again on GOG.com. So I  re-created the game port for XIII again in Porting Kit.

Just remember to not update to Catalina yet, because of the 32-bit support drop of Mac OS 10.15. We are still working on a solution.

Help the King regain his sanity after he got turned into a raving lunatic, save the kidnapped prince and interview Queen Xina and King Bodd who have been fighting for years. You will be confronted by surprise after surprise and will have to face the most unexpected enemies. Enjoy good, old-fashioned fun for everyone.

Install is Simple:
1. Get Porting Kit or Crossover if you don’t have it yet.
2. Then download the GOG.com setup file from XIII from GOG (Remember to download the “offline backup setup files” into your download folder.
3. Then in Porting Kit search the game in the library –> server tab and click install.
4. After installation of the game, “exit” the GOG installer.
5. Click “Play” to start the game! Have fun!

Stronghold HD and Stronghold Crusader HD available as port again.

On October 20, 2019   /   Game Port, GOG.com Games, Mac Strategy Games   /   Leave a comment

The games Stronghold HD and Stronghold Crusader HD were first available as native port, but now because of people having trouble with the . “Native” version of the game, I made these 2 games back available as port again. These games are still not Catalina compatible, but as mentioned earlier, the winde development team is working hard to make a kind of work around available. Until then, Porting Kit is still not usable in Catalina OS 10.15.

I tested the 2 game ports myself a bit, and they work just great in my tests on my Mac’s.

Go to the updated game pages below, or search the games in the database library in the Porting Kit app:
Stronghold HD
Stronghold Crusader HD

Dark Devotion for Mac

On October 17, 2019   /   Action, Game Port, GOG.com Games, Platform, Portingkit   /   Comments Off on Dark Devotion for Mac

I came past this game on GOG.com, ported the game and runs great on my AMD Radeon iMac! The only flaw I could found is that you cannot play it full screen (see video below), but you can see the menu bar in the top. But game runs just smooth and nice. Its bin a while as well that I made a game video, so thats nice as well. Just remember to not update to Catalina yet, because of the 32-bit support drop of Mac OS 10.15.
