[Tutorial] Play My Summer Car on macOS without Wine! (also on M1 Apple Silicon Macs)

[Morc]

ALSO WORKS ON M1 APPLE SILICON!

It took me long time to figure how to make MSC playable on macOS without Wine or Virtual Machines. But i actually figured it out so thats good.

Requirements:
My Summer Car downloaded on Windows PC or on macOS with Wine.(latest version and developer versions are working)
My Summer Car.app i made

DOWNLOAD LINK:
32bit My Summer Car.app (10.7 Lion - 10.14 Mojave): (clean Unity Player with dll files no game assets)
mega.nz #!od9nmRBL!__j3KQDhF6MGXmbWhfxWNtPtWt8hNdeH26xyt95D9mI

64bit My Summer Car.app (10.7 Lion - 13 Ventura):
mega.nz file/cJNT1QwL#yVG0aeH6zn1ccGEulvpELRgGlBmlwt7THdA-j9k3cHI

Steps:
1. Download the My Summer Car.app and place it somewhere.(Desktop or Applications)
2. Right click on it and select Show Package Contents
3. Navigate to Contents/Resources/Data in which you should see 2 folders: Managed and Plugins + 1 file saying to copy MSC game assets to the Data folder in which you are.
4. Find My Summer Car for Windows(usually "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/Common/My Summer Car" or in case of Wine for macOS "/Users/<userfolder>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/Common/My Summer Car) and go to mysummercar_Data folder.
5. Copy everything except folders: Managed, Plugins, Mono and 1 file: ScreenSelector.bmp to the Data folder in My Summer Car.app in which we were before.
6. The game should now work.

Saves folder is in: /Users/<userfolder>/Library/Application Support/unity.Amistech Games.My Summer Car/

Also don't forget to copy over CD1, CD2, CD3, Images and Radio folders *next to* the .app you downloaded earlier if you want to have music and images. (Thanks to https://steamcommunity.com/id/wabalabadubdaa for asking about this)


Pros and cons:
+ Insane FPS Improvement
+ No mouse bug
+ No bug with 2+ monitors(if selected fullscreen with MSC on Wine then it was going to wrong monitor)
- Everytime new update comes out, you need to copy MSC assets again..



For people on macOS Catalina and newer:
Here's a 64bit version that works also on macOS Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey etc..
Download link: mega.nz file/cJNT1QwL#yVG0aeH6zn1ccGEulvpELRgGlBmlwt7THdA-j9k3cHI

The install process is the same, MSC Online still won't work(now and also in future). The same thing also applies for MSCLoader. There's just nothing i can do about it..

Hi thanks for this tutorial it sort of works but when i click i understand it just freezes any help would be great thanks

Thanks man. This helped a lot. I had it working for a while, and did not use it for a while and had to re set it up again. The link no longer works for the My Summer Car app you made with no dll's. Would really appreciate it if you could get it working again! Thanks again!

I actually tested the link and it was working still just fine. You maybe did copy it wrong

But i haven't tested it anymore since summer of 2018

For people on macOS Catalina and newer:

I made only a 32bit build back in 2018. I just got a bit of nostalgic moment to play MSC only to find out that it doesn't work on macOS Big Sur.

So i made a 64bit version that works also on macOS Catalina, Big Sur, etc..

you know macs are just $5000 pieces of crap right?.

well, that's your opinion on it and i respect it. I made that only because i have a Hackintosh (and that's because i was just annoyed from every single problem Windows 10 was causing back then)

[hej.tomasz]

You are the best, thank you! It is especially important since there is no bootcamp on newest Macs with M1 chip. I confirm – thanks to you My Summer Car works great on M1 Mac Mini

[Vvorcun]

Amazing. One question though - since it's just an empty unity player, is it possible to make this work with other unity games? If so, how hard it's going to be?

you can litteraly build a windows pc or linux one for way cheaper thats way more powerful than a mac. they're just trash only 2% of people who use computers before windows 10 and 8 used mac but when they were released people thought it was trash so that doubled to 4% because how trash it was. ALSO Why not just use Linux Instead of windows? Linux is open source And free also there is Literally a Free windows emu for Linux Called Steam proton that lets you play windows games easily without any problems most of the time. people have only been tricked into buying macs in the past 15 years because they thought they were better than P.C's with windows but in reality they're literally just a cash crab and its not like it costs as much to buy a stick of ram for the same price for a pc is it? that was 30 years ago. look at these videos for example of these POOR Poor Really smart and intelligent people who were tricked into buying macs.. (more people even moved to linux when windows 8 and 10 came really and ubuntu mate is the best ubuntu of them all.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-NU7yOSElE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG_NRcy5mxU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OceuTkSYNo ( the third one is made by the same guy who made the 2nd one)

noone asked
what you are doing is literally "stop enjoying what you already do and start enjoying what i say"

i was making a response. (and a point)

this response and a point is meaningless since he already stated that he uses a hackintosh (as well as i do), building which requires far more skills than watching Linus' channel
and proton is not an emu
