i am very new to this game, i saw my friend playing it on his pc and wondered if they had it for mac. i ed it for my ipod so i figured there would be a mac version and im glad there is!
i am having troubles getting it to work though.

i think a few other people in this thread have the same problem as me where i open osu! and it stays open but nothing else happens. i know it says it takes up to 5 minutes but i have been waiting longer than that and nothing
i do have x11, and im on a macbook pro 15" from 2010

i noticed that its called osuwine, so does that mean i need to install wine or something as well?
and also when i open osu! is x11 supposed to open automatically or do i need to open that myself?

sorry, im a n00b and this is probably frustrating to read but i really just want to play

i will keep trying to figure it out but if someone can help ide appreciate it

Yes, you need to have the newest version of wine installed as well. And x11 opening automatically is exactly what's supposed to happen

Will osu! on the mac skins? I got the accuracy skin, and put it in the skins folder but it's not working. Am I supposed to refresh the game, or turn it on and off again until the skin loads?

no, you don't

the entire point of this package is that wine is bundled together with osu so that it runs -nearly- standalone.

please go back and reread this thread - a couple of people have had the same issue.

If osu is running through wine, why can't it go online? If osu is running on wine, then it should be able to because wine doesn't do anything to the internet.

Is it being fixed? At some point, will osu multiplayer be available for the mac?

it wont let me log on T.T

if it were that simple, then it would be running online already.

wine only provides a platform for programs to run on non-windows systems. this platform is constantly under development and as such, some features are in varying state of completion. the reason why osu!mac doesn't work online is because the platform for communicating with the server is not functioning properly at a wine level - something which needs to be addressed by the wine developers more than anything else.

i read the whole thread, i tried leaving it open for long over 10 minutes, i tried again with wine open and i tried again by opening x 11 first and i still cant get it -_-
oh well, hopefully a full release soon?

Can anyone with positive results on a macbook post? I don't know if the lag issues I'm having are with my computer or not. No background programs or processes running, osu runs barely playable on the low-end PC setting and I have a 2010 macbook with i7 and gefore 8800 so I feel like this may be representative of a computer problem but wanted to et a benchmark. Is osu that graphics intensive? Other mac s who report no issues are you on Macs or Macbooks? thx for a great game I love it on my PC but I wanna play it on campus!!!

I have a Macbook Pro and Osu! works fine for me as long as I have it set to low-end PC. If I don't have it on low-end PC game lags. The special modes, on the other hand, work fine under any of the settings.

i'm having problems with this edition ,i cannot select resolution and the fonts cannot be shown properly

osu is runnable and all; songs are importable, everything(most) seems to work

but the only problem is that everytime a slider(i hope im calling it right) appears, it seems to "lag" a bit and causes a slowdown/drop in fps temporary. also, i've noticed that during the slowdown, the mouse clicks often does not .

not sure if it's something im doing wrong ;;

I think that the slowdown is happening for most people. Have you tried setting Osu! to low-end pc? That seemed to fix the problem for me.

I just ed this and followed the instructions but I cannot get my beatmaps to show up in Osu! I have tried dragging them and just opening them and letting Osu open on its own but it doesnt do anything. I also cannot log-in on the game, could that be causing the problem?

I can't answer your other questions, but it can't go online

I got Osu to pop up but I can't for some reason

Oh come on, the answer is just above your post... Make the effort to read.

I hope online will be available soon

everytime i click osu it opens then it closes straight afterwards

I tried to do what you said in the thread, but there is no folder labeled "songs". The only folders I have are "MacOS" and "Resources".

I dragged the .osz beatmaps into the song folder, and the program lists the songs being imported - however they don't show up for play. When I check the folder again, it seems the .osz files have been converted into folders?

can osu play in Win 7?

i hope this internet connection problem get solved soon. before that im going to play osu at my school :P

I have X11 installed and yet OSU still wont open...

Please check Console.app for relevant error messages after trying to run it.

Online doesn't work. When I try to I see a mesage "A server-side error occured".
It seems that internet connection works fine: I tried to enter wrong and I saw a mesasge "Bancho authentification failed...".

Mac OS X 10.7.1

"Online ranking and bancho connections will not currently work. This will be fixed in the near future."

Please read the original post carefully.

Thank you so much for this!!

The adding music thing is still kind of sketchy it looks like :/ I can get music into the game but it takes a few tries. And I'm sad online doesn't work yet . But the fact that it works at all is amazing .

I have a problem though, almost every time I play I lag a LOT. I was wondering if this is a common problem or if its just me? I close everything else and its still almost unplayable a lot of the time :/. Any solutions?

I'm experienced with development on OS X. If desired, I could help where needed

but it crash always

Yes! Now I can play osu at school on my mac!

Excuse me but I opened osu on mac but it just cant let me what so ever!
what's going on here?
it always said that "Connection faild, retry in 30..."
and nothing happened....

and if i cannot ,how am i gonna play osu ??!!

Huh... It constantly shuts down whenever i try to open it.
I looked in Console.app and this is the only thing i found: http://pastebin.com/hn9UieAV
Am i doing it right? And what may be the problem?

There appears to be a problem with your X11 installation. Try installing XQuartz instead: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases

Leyko, osu! X (as I think is a much better name when thinking about OS X;)) is currently based on wine, which means its emulating windows in some way. (Yes, I know wine means wine is no emulator.)
This pre-requires an intel-processor and at least OS X 10.5 (10.4 may work, but I'm unsure)

Please tell us more about your system so we can help better^^

wondering if anyone found a solution/fix for the slider appearance slow-down
when i run on virtual pc windows there is no slow down [but sound sync problems with the virtualness ]


i play on low-end pc setting and i found that the smaller the resolution the problem seems to be _less_ noticeable but it's there

running on a comp with i7 3.4ghz 12gb ram


lastly, thanks for porting a great game

Yeah, I just the game.
I have a little problem now. I opened Osu, X11 starts and the er also begin his work. Then I click start Osu and the round osu logo appears. But after that I get the window which I cancel and then is nothing more. The wondows is just white. I could hear the music but the window keeps white. Could somebody help me with this problem? Could it be because I have an intel intigrated chipset?

greetings

well i ed beatmaps and followed as you have showed here.
The first three songs i ed works but the next s wont load in osu
osu doesnt read the new songs and so i still only have 3 songs
how do i fix this bug? i already tried exiting osu lots of times and restarting my laptop

that's doesn't work on my mbp 2,2ghz.....

I ed this .app clicked it once it asked me if i wanted to open this application ed from the internet i say yes I wait ten minutes nothing opens i click again it opens then closes and says nothing more ever.


and cannot open osu ever.

I get the same thing. I thought it was something I did so I ed it again but it just did the same thing. The other one just won't work for me it gives me the text thingy and never opens or gives it an icon.

*Eagerly awaiting for Bancho release*

Can't open Osu! for more than 1 sec....

Osu! actually runs really well on my macbook. I've been eagerly awaiting a way to play it for a while and a friend pointed me to this thread today, so I ed it and got some beatmaps working. It does take a while to start up, but it eventually does start up. Hitting F5 does fix the beatmap issue so all the songs are on the list. I also ed and added more beatmaps afterward, and after refreshing the list, they all came up.

The one problem is that sliders are extremely laggy for me, to the point where it's caused me to completely lose a song. However, for me this is very playable right now.

I'm using a brand, shiny new Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.8

You can try disabling snaking sliders in the options to improve slider performance.

Everything work nicely but my beatmaps wont import, i done exactly as you told me but it doesn't find the maps, so how can I make it work ?

I have some lag problems .. I can't play really :c

Yeah same here,
There's a serious lag
and I can't even sign in
but I can play

When will Online rankings and Bancho connections run? Expected date for release?

Well it's been 5 months so I guess no time soon

Not sure if it was mentioned on any other page but, what about porting osu! to OS X via Cider? If I notice right, this looks like the Windows version of osu! running with a pre-packed version of Wine. If osu! (OS X) is currently using Cider though, then ignore this :p

I can't get it to launch on my mac, when clicking to app icon it does the launch animation and then quits instantly

i cant add songs D:

it runs well, only problem is that you cant

it does say it has imported beatmaps but they do not show up in song selection, why is that?
I tried pressing f5 countless times, refreshing and reopening osu! and everything said in the opening post but it still doesn't work.
I was looking so forward to play it too

I really need help! I ed osu! on my Macbook and when I open it, osu!wine opens up, and then X11 opens. osu!wine then closes and in X11, a window opens up and it checks for updates. From there I click start osu! and a little screen with the osu! logo opens up and then it goes away. Then a larger white window opens up with a smaller one. The smaller one asks if I want to or play offline. I click to play offline and the larger window remains blank, but I can hear music playing. Can someone tell me what's wrong?

keep refreshing osu! by pressing F5, but if you have to drag the songs into the song folder first

Try uninstalling and then install it again

You can once you any song, right click on osu! and click on show package contents. Then open contents, then resources, then wineprefix, then drive c, then osu, then the songs folder. After that drag the song(s) you ed and put them into to the songs folder. Once you do that open osu! up, go to any game mode and press F5 until the song(s) show up. Hope this was helpful!

I did that many times, but I would get the same result. Maybe it's because my Macbook is around six years old, although it does have the latest software.

well check for update just in case then try either reinstalling the X11 or try to open that up first

X11 is a program that allows you to play the game

This is never going to happen unfortunately. No one seems to be working on it.

"This will be fixed in the near future."

How long ago was that? 6+ months? Plus there's too many bugs.

I also don't like how it's dependent on X11, but whatever.

so, osu works with starting X11 first.
problems:
- cant (already known i guess :3)
- cant switch to fullscreen
- have to restart osu! after changing resolution
- after adding songs, i have to refresh with F6 (Fn + F6) , not F5

-> biggest Problem : my cursor is kinda lagging. So it doesnt react correct to my mouse-movement. (Rest of the game is without lags)

I'm using a 13" macbook(2010) with OSX Leopard v10.6.8

yup that's what it seems like

edit. Everything works now. Having a tough time playing with with my finger and a magic trackpad though. =P

lol this might be annoying to read, but for me, ive been trying to open osu for the past 2 hours trying to get this to work before school lol. let me start off:
macbook specs:
Mac OS X 10.5.8
2.2ghz intel core 2 duo processor
memory 2gb
alright sorry about this but ill just tell you the past hours' events:
i ed osu for mac it wouldnt open, like other comments, the logo pops up and opens for like half a second, then i read about x11; i x11, wait 5 minutes, it doesnt work. then i read Ephemeral's comment regarding:

and i the latest x11 for my version. its installation is a success and i put it on and it opens, then i try opening osu! but no difference, the logo pops up and i wait like 7 minutes, not working. haha sorry...

yes

yes is great

das spiel find ich langsam blöd

Rawr!
Thanks for this post ((That I never read but I read it sometimes ))

After ing, copying to Applications folder, and attempting to run, application bounces in dock for a few seconds, then disappears. X11 never opened. Read a few replies to thread and attempted opening X11 beforehand and running, and still same outcome. Installed latest version of XQuartz for my version of OS.X and still encountered the same problem. Here is what appears in my console after attempting to run osu.app

http://pastebin.com/YXG2rRA2

My specifications are:

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
Memory: 1 GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

maybe its just a problem with 10.5.8? It seems that everyone with that has this problem

That could possibly be it but I'm not entirely sure. I don't know much about Wine or X11.

OK, there is a problem with increasing speed of mouse. It goes to ramdom place whenever I click some where. (Using x4.0)
Other than that, it works okay. And their is a small problem when I play a fullscreen and make it native size. It became 16:9 instead of 16:10 for MacBookPro. but mouse works like usual fullscreen so I can't press the real bottom stuffs. Also Korean doesn't work. I don't really expect about that but just saying

My Mac is early 2011 MacBookPro 13inch.
2.3GHz Intel Core i5
8GB 133MHz Ram
Intel HD Graphics
and Mac OS X 10.7.3

Okay, never mind about full screen problem. Works fine after restart.
And their is no problem with random placed cursor when I use keyboard instead.

me no can using this ..

Let it be noted that the "alpha" Osu app does not work on the "beta" version of OSX Mountain Lion so dont update until patch otherwise you'll be f*cked like me.

Hi all, I ed this beta for OS X and i have a problem, the letters aren't shown, u can't see any writing like beatmap names or options. I add a pic if it helps. I'm using crossover games, by the way

i'm not 100% sure why it's doing that but try reinstalling osu or X11 or both and make sure you don't have OSX Mountain Lion

Here's a little present for those of you who are ers: http://puu.sh/iQlX/osu!.app.zip
This is an updated version which should run a lot smoother. I have been using it on a daily basis to map/mod for osu!stream.
Map importing is still a bit flaky, but better than the previous build.

Keep in mind this uses the osu! test build, which requires a er tag. If you switch it back to non-test, you will not be able to connect to bancho or submit scores.

It should also work on Lion, and no longer require X11 to be installed.

i'm a little sad that the updated versions not available to non-ers but at least he's working on it

i see. thanks.

I already the Osu!.app. I tried to open it, but it suddenly closed. Then i tried ing again, but this time it stayed on the dock and the X11.app pops up. But still noting happen, then i for the third time, it opens then shut down but the x11 pops up again and nothing happen.

I guess i could help porting it into mac. Since wine or other porting app or wrapper wont work 100%.

Wine wrapper will provide far more functionality with far less effort than other options. The recent version I posted does not have any dependencies and should definitely run for you.

Im trying to but it wont let me I am a er ^.^

Give me a couple of hours. The test server's database is out of sync.

hmmm....not exactly sure what to do but my only guess is keep refreshing it till it will sometimes that happens and if it still doesn't try deleting the maps you're trying to import then re them and see if that'll work if it doesn't i'm out of ideas
