Windows 上也有很多优秀的工具软件是 Mac 上没有的， 装虚拟机的话太浪费， 而且效率不高， 幸好可以通过 Wine 来运行 Windows 程序， 通过 HomeBrew 使得 Wine 的安装非常容易， 通过 WineTricks 来配置 Wine 也没有多大困难， 下面是我在 Mac 上安装和配置 Wine 的纪录。. Wine (originally an acronym for 'Wine Is Not an Emulator') is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD.

The following instructions are heavily inspired by @pauleve. I modified his instructions and then added details about how to make a shortcut and support Retina/HiDPI displays.

Installing MTGO (and Wine and Homebrew and Xquartz and ...)

  1. Install Homebrew by opening Terminal and executing the following command:

Play Magic The Gathering Online

  1. In Terminal, execute the following command:
  1. Download and run the Installer for 'Wine Development'.
  2. Open the 'Wine Devel' application, which creates a Terminal window.
  3. In the new Terminal window, execute:

Install Magic The Gathering Online Mac Wine Bottle

You may be asked to install Mono and Gecko. Install both.

  1. Again, in Terminal, execute these three commands:

Follow the instructions. The installation of .Net can take some time and may require you to install multiple versions of .Net (e.g. 4.0, 4.5, and 4.6).

  1. Once complete, execute these two commands in Terminal:

Adding Retina/HiDPI Support

  1. In Terminal, execute the following command:
  1. A registry editor window will appear. In the tree structure to the left, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine and then select Edit -> New -> Key from the menu. This creates a new folder/key, which you should name 'Mac Driver'.
  2. Open Mac Driver in the tree structure and then select Edit -> New -> String Value from the menu. This creates a new value, which you should name 'RetinaMode'.
  3. Double click RetinaMode, set its value to 'y', and then click 'OK'.
  4. Close the registry editor and restart wine by typing wineboot into Terminal.
  5. Open Wine's configuration dialog by typing winecfg into Terminal.
  6. Click on the Graphics tab, enter the correct dpi under 'Screen resolution', and click 'OK'. You can find your screen's dpi on Apple Support or via DPI Love.
  7. Restart Wine again by typing wineboot in Terminal.

Playing MTGO

Option 1: Launching through Wine Devel (the gross way)

  1. Open the 'Wine Devel' application
  2. In the new Terminal window, execute:

Option 2: Creating a shortcut (the sexy way)

  1. Open TextEdit and make sure it is in plain text mode (Shift + Command + T).
  2. Assuming you followed the directions above, paste the following into TextEdit:

If you installed mtgo.exe elsewhere, replace ~ with the path to the mtgo.exe file.

  1. Save this file as 'MTGO' (or anything, really). The important part is ensuring that you save the file without an extention (uncheck 'If no extension is provided, use '.txt'.' in the save window).
  2. Open Terminal and execute the following:

Replacing path/to/file with the path to wherever you saved the file and MTGO with the name of the file.

  1. From now on, all you have to do is double click the file to launch MTGO!
  2. Optional: You can replace the icon for the MTGO file with something nicer.
