wine users - Mar 2011 - Re: fallout new vegas wineskin mac osx 10.6.5

I'm new to all of this, never played a windows game on mac before, but I
thought I might get some help here. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread
or anything like this.

I copied fallout new vegas from a friend who I'm pretty sure downloaded it
illegaly. Don't know if this is relevant, just want to be sure. First of all
it won't start - I have the same problem as the creator of this thread. And
since I'm so new at this your replies don't make any sense to me.

So I guess what I need is to told what to do step by step. I want fallout to
work because I've heard great things about it, and I hope somebody
doesn't mind going to the trouble of telling what needs to be done.

Thanks in advance!

It is VERY relevant.  You could infect your system with a virus or other 
malware.  Never, ever use software of a dubious nature, even on your Mac.

First thing:  Pay a visit to our Applications Database to see if the pro 
will install and run under Wine (rating of other than Garbage) when run 
on a Mac.
Second thing:  If the program will run, go and purchase a LEGAL original 
copy.
Third thing:  Get Wine from MacPorts, Fink or if you are feeling 
venturous, download the Source and look at the Dependencies page on the 
Wine Wiki and then build and install it.
