[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..

Hey man, I would really like to play this game and the link you used says that the link is no longer available. Not sure if that's an issue on my end or anyone else is having the same problems.

How do you download MSC using Wine? I bought the game but it won't let me install it. I've looked everywhere online trying to figure out how to download it but I can't find anything.

I tried your suggestion but how do I start the game? After copying in the files an I clicked on your app. Nothing happened

works pretty good and smooth on my baseline M2 macbook air, but the mouse seems to be offset a bit, as if the "click point" was at the bottom of the cursor. this is a bit annoying because i have to aim above everything to interact with it, which is especially hard with screws or wiring.

however after further testing, this seems to only happen in fullscreen, which leads me to believe it might have something to do with the notch.

would you mind sharing how you made the macOS "wrapper" so i can look into working around the notch?

EDIT: you can right-click on the "My Summer Car x64.app", click on "get info" and then select "Scale to fit below built-in camera".
This adds a bit of blank space on either side (pillarboxing) but fixed the offset mouse issue.
ideally i'd like to have it in actual fullscreen tho, with the notch cutting into the frame instead of black bars on the side and top.

EDIT 2: i can't seem to find any unity-player related stuff regarding the notch, nor any apple docs, so scaling down seems to be the best option for now.
there's only one thing you can set in the Info.plist to have the app in "Scale to fit below built-in camera" mode by default:

<key>NSPrefersDisplaySafeAreaCompatibilityMode</key>
<string>true</string>

this is the same as ticking the checkbox in the "get info" panel.

Yeah, same issue here. Could the app please be made available again?

Hey it works on Catalina 10.15.07. But there is an issue, Treewall textures are bugged can you help me?

Thanks dude, it runs surprisingly well, though sometimes there are no engine sounds but restarting the game usually fixes things.

Hey I did this with my 2020 Mac Air, and everything works besides the window textures in the car, they're just completely black. Is this something i'm doing wrong or just a limitation using this method.

I have the same problem

i dont understand where i find users on my mac, i have downloaded the 64 bit and done all the steps before, but im stuck. Do i have to buy the game along with doing this?

[patpoke04]

Will there be a version of this for My Winter Car when it gets released? Because I tried this on my M2 MacBook Air and it works like a charm!

The "Library/" is hidden folder, just check it.

MB Air M2 2022 - works great!

Love this. By the way, where are the save games files? I want to use my old save game which I had from Windows.

I found it. It is in `'/Users/"name"/Library/Application Support/unity.Amistech Games.My Summer Car``.

Where is save game location
