SafeHarborGames New Download Page for Mac OSX



Thanks to a third party developer, we have found what the solution to running the Windows version of SafeHarborGames again on your Mac with the new 64 bit MacOS.
PLEASE NOTE! It is VERY IMPORTANT that you report any issues or questions to: safeharborgames@gmail.com



All these steps are necessary because of the added Mac security and Wineskin's new format which may clash with GateKeeper.
BUT HAVE HEART! After going through this the first time, you shouldn't have to do it all again.
AND MOST IMPORTANT! Read the instructions below before downloading the app.
 
First thing - make sure that you use Safari to download the file and ALSO make sure that auto-open is set by doing the following:
Open Safari.
Click Preferences.
Under the General tab, make sure the option 'Open "safe" files after downloading' is checked!

  1. Download the Mac version by clicking here (approximately 477 MB when uncompressed).
  2. Once downloaded, go to the downloads folder and drag it to your desktop.
  3. Make sure you have read the entire page before double clicking to open the dmg.
  4. As already said, you will see a series of dialogs as you go through installing. Please review the document below before proceeding.
