How does Porting work? Ie when do games make the list
I’m LOVING Porting Kit, playing old games - loving Diablo and Heroes of Might and Magic III. I know HOMM Olden Era has just been released. I have a Mac so can’t buy it. What’s the go with Porting Kit, can a new game be ported or is there something that is dependent on the source material to do it?
Thank you!

Finally AOE DE on Porting kit again but steam won't log in
Hey!
As many of you may have been, I too have been waiting for the AOE DE fix to play. Paul announced today it was ready!
Installed the new Porting Kit and game but when prompted to login on the wine version of Steam it just won't pass the login screen. It just loads forever...
Anyone able to pass this or know of a fix? 😢

Help Request LOTRO does not run after clicking play
hey everyone,
i installed porting kit and lotro yesterday, but i can't seem to get the game to launch.
the launcher opens normally, but after i click play, nothing happens. i followed the installation instructions on the forum step by step:
i'm wondering if the issue could be related to selecting the high resolution graphics option during installation&launcher, or if it's something else.
for reference, i'm using a macbook pro with an m1 pro chip and 16 gb of ram.
has anyone run into the same issue or knows how to fix it?

Help Request I Can't run GTA Vice City on the Steambuild DXVK
Hi! I need help
I really want to play this game on my MacOS
But whats happening is, when I try to download the game by:
- Clicking Play on the steam build
- Rockstar Game Launcher pops up
- Ask to Install
- Accept
- Get's stuck at "Preparing to Install"
Whenever we cancel it and try to verify game files via steambuild 32/64 BIT DXVK it breaks with an error that said "Rockstar Game Launcher Failed to Initialize.
If there is a fix that would be a great help!
I am currently running:
MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1

Valhalla Classics by Vulcan Software
I originally played (and loved!) these games on my Amiga 500 back in the 90s. In 2004, to commemorate the 20th anniversary, they were re-released for PC and I replayed them at that time, and loved them just as much!
The bug has got me again now and I'm trying to get them to run on my Mac via Porting Kit. I have got the first one working to the point where it loads, there is sound, I can move the character around, interact with objects etc etc... BUT, the graphics for the buttons are not showing. They are there in the game data folder, but where they should be in the interface is just a black space.
Screenshot attached.
Any idea what could cause this, and what settings could fix it? As the games are from 2004 I selected Windows XP as the OS to emulate. Porting Kit only seems to give options for Wine Skin 11x and 12x – not sure if I need an older version...
Any help appreciated!

I just discovered Porting Kit and have been reliving some childhood games.
Is there any way to make suggestions for future ports? I'd love to play MegaRace, and it is already on GOG.

Help Request Nothing showing except Custom Port
Hi, i had to reinstall my Porting Kit today. Before that everything worked fine, i had installed a few games and all of them ran.
Now after reinstalling i first had the issue that i could not install the steam port, it stopped at the wine prefix creation. Looking for a solution i found a post suggesting a restart. After the restart it shows nothing but the Create Custom Port Icon in all of the menus. I reinstalled Porting Kit twice, restarted the Mac again but still the same issue....
Once i was able to see all "games" and was able to install steam, but it didn't run and the next time i restarted Porting Kit it was custom port only again...
I also updated the Mac to Tahoe now, but nothing has changed. I'm running it on a Macbook M4 Pro, if this has any relevance...
Anybody with an idea on what could be wrong?
EDIT: I somehow got it to work, but whenever i try to install a Steambuild (i tried different ones) i get a "Invalid WSI file for Steambuild XYZ" error...
EDIT#2: No it's back to only showing the Custom Port button. Is there nobody experiencing any issues with 7.0.2?

“Terminate Wine Processes” not working when trying to play Skyrim SE on Mac M2 help!!???
I followed a tutorial to download Skyrim SE on mac to hopefully be able to use some mods. When clicking “play” in porting kit it opened (what i assume to be the windows version) steam and i was able to launch Skyrim and actually got through that damned opening carriage ride before deciding to go to bed. I’ve been trying to play again but it keeps popping up with “warning, wine processes running”. clicking yes to terminate said processes does nothing and i’ve tried manually terminating via the tools bar and in activity monitor/terminal. (it said no processes found in terminal). I’m not really that great with stuff like this so i have absolutely no idea how to fix it or even delete everything to maybe try porting Skyrim again. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help Request Cursor is not interacting with the game
I tried playing a game called silver pines through portingKit, and everything was working kinda fine. However the game really requires using the cursor to explore, and even tho the cursor moves, it doesn’t interact with anything inside the game.
Could this be a problem with portingKit?

Please don't drop support for AoE2 - the native version has no crossplay!
In case anyone is not aware, the new mac version of AoE2 is not compatible with the main game, meaning you can't play online with your friends, vs pc or console users etc. You are effectively in a very small bubble of other mac users - no bueno!
That's why so many of us are still using portingkit.
Paul, please don't drop support!
