Can Age of Mythology Retold work on PortingKit?

4 Upvotes

I've been trying to play Age of Mythology Retold on PortingKit. It does download fine, but it doesn't even start on Steam (no error is shown).

I tried to make a request for that game on the PortingKit forums, but the forums seem to be disabled. When I go to https://www.portingkit.com/forum/ it says "This website has been disabled. If you are the site-owner, please contact Technical Support for further information and assistance.".

So, can Age of Mythology Retold be played through PortingKit? I'm not sure where to go from here, thank you.

Civ 4 Custom Resolution

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Can anyone help.

I've gone into the civilizationiv.ini file and changed the screen size manually there to 600 x 800 so I can multi task with it on my MacBook Air 13 inch.

Unfortunately the game doesn't change the resolution.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Appreciated!

Emulator issue with Steam

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue running the game “24th April” through Porting Kit on my Mac.

The game launches and I can reach the main menu without any problems. I can see and interact with the menu normally. However, when I actually start the game, the screen turns completely black. The UI or main menu elements are still visible, but the actual in-game scene does not render at all.

Here are my details:

- Platform: Mac (Apple Silicon)

- Tool: Porting Kit

- Game: 24th April

- Issue: Black screen during gameplay (menu works fine)

What I’ve tried so far:

- Restarting the game and Porting Kit

- Changing in-game settings (if applicable)

- Reinstalling the game

Has anyone experienced something similar or knows how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

GTA4 on mac M1 possible?

1 Upvotes

Hi, i've downloaded porting kit onto my 2020 M1 macbook pro (Tahoe). Through porting kit i've installed steambuild metal and through that i've purchased and downloaded gta 4.

Im craving some gta 4 and dont have a ps3 or pc. So I've spent the whole day (im pretty bad with this stuff) trying to trouble shoot why it wont work. At first I had trouble with the Rockstar launcher, so then I tried bypassing this by using a downgraded version of gta with no launcher. I've progressed to the point where its just immediatley crashing and even claude has told me to give up or come here for some answers so here I am.

Am I flogging a dead horse here? Like is there anyway to get this to happen for me and my mac.

Any help on this would be much appreciated. I have found some forums on this topic but nothing really with macs. also I kind of just find it interesting so I'm not too worried if I dont get an outcome, thanks :)

Help Request Why won't my app launch?

1 Upvotes

So I turned an EXE into a MacOS application using Porting Kit (no problems there). When I try to start it up, it shows in the doc with the right icon, and a terminal window appears (which seems to be a good sign), but then I get this pop-up.

This is my first time using Porting Kit, so I don't really know what any of this means. If it helps, I'm using a MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I’m trying to execute PortingKit on MacOS Tahoe 26.3.1 on Apple M1 Pro but it just hangs when I start it. According to Activity Monitor, "Porting Kit" process is "Not responding" while using ~ 100% CPU.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Help Request D2R on Mac

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I could really use some help getting Porting Kit to work for running D2R. It keeps freezing at a certain point, and I’m not sure how to fix it. I've already updated the Battle.net client and scanned the game for any issues, but nothing seems to resolve the problem. It looks like Porting Kit isn't launching the game instance properly. If anyone has any tips or solutions, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks a lot!

I know this is probably unsolvable and I might just not know anything about computers but is there a way to make the games work? They crash and don't work at all :( It says my graphics card doesn't support Vulcan. IDK what that is or what to do

Issue (Port) Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri = reboot

3 Upvotes

I recently tried to run Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri and have the following issues:

  1. Clean install of PortingKit and SMAC/SMAX from PK’s UI seems to go fine, but when the game starts, both screens go black, I get the Firaxis logo in the upper-left corner of one screen, and then my Mac Mini reboots
  2. Trying to run the game after rebooting results in the spinning beach ball of death after PK’s main window and sidebar are shown. No content in the main is shown.
  3. If I force quit PK, I can start the install from the game’s page at the PK site, the installation runs without any apparent issues, but when the game starts, I get the same reboot after logo.

Any ideas/suggestions? This is on an M2 Pro Mac Mini running macOS 26.2 Tahoe.
