After months of not finding time to fix the remaining problems with the OS X build of osu!, I have decided to make it public in its current state. You may have issues importing songs, but this can usually be fixed by mashing escape or alt-f4.

Please note this is a test release (beta if you like) and there are known bugs. That said, feel free to share your experiences in this thread and try and help each other out until the bugs are ironed out .


http://m1.ppy.sh/osu!.20141010.dmg
http://m2.ppy.sh/osu!.20141010.dmg


Compatible with OS X 10.6~10.9.x

Things to know:

1. The first time you run osu!, it may take up to 5 minutes to start. This is due to X11 (the graphical subsystem) rebuilding a font cache.
2. This build will always start the updater when you run it. It will update to newer releases and therefore when the remaining issues are fixed you will automatically receive the fixes.
3. Importing songs may get stuck. If this happens, try alt-f4 or esc mashing, or quit osu! and run it again.
4. To see the osu! folder, right-click on osu!.app and choose "Show Package Contents" then navigate to Contents/Resources/winePrefix/drive_c/osu/
5. Apparently you can load new songs by dragging the .osz file to the osu! icon.

Adding Beatmaps:

Open the package:


Navigate to the songs folder:


Drag your osz files inside:


Run osu! and goto song selection (or hit F5 if you are already there).

Note that you can make a shortcut to the songs folder on your desktop by dragging the folder while holding command and option. This should make it easier to load new maps for now!

oh （´・∀・`） osu for OS X

Oooooh! This looks very exciting. Osu! is the only reason I have Boot Camp installed ^v^

Thank you so much for this; it works very well for me!
I can't wait until we can connect to Bancho/have online rankings.

i just this
how i can add beatmaps to osu! in mac ?
i tried open beatmaps with osu and dragging to osu, but not working
i also check back the package (.zip) for ree or some guide but none
so anyone mind telling me how to install beatmap ?

Please see the first post. I have added detailed instructions.

thanks for the guide peppy

i follow your step
indeed it working extracting beatmaps and making their own folder
but osu! wont list those beatmaps
any idea what making this issue ?

What do you see in osu!? Can you provide screenshots? Also have you tried restarting osu!?

because there is no public version for Linux, based on gnome? Linux s have to do many steps to run osu! in linux

oh i got it working now
in my case i need to refresh (F5) everytime i need add new beatmaps
without F5 it wont show up

thanks for the help!

on my macbook (coreduo2.4 geforce330M), with default setting windowed 120fps-limit
i experiencing frame drops, maybe caused some background proggram, i think i have browser running
haven't try full screen though, gonna test some more

I have a question concerning online connection/Bancho.

When we can connect osu! for OS X, will our scores/stats appear from the time when we couldn't connect our scores/states online? I signed in in the app, but it just gave a connection error concerning not being able to connect to online/Bancho (which I was well aware of before ing), so I'm not sure if any data will be saved... It shows that I'm "jmnixon95", but I'm not sure if that is the local name or my online .

Score submission will not work currently, no.

Playing for some time I still cant see which thing changes....
ppy could list about what is news?

Apologies if I sound impatient, but is there any estimation in how long it will be until it does?

I cannot get the app to work i loaded it and clicked it and waited for it to open after six minutes went by and it still does not open or antyhing

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.

make sure you see X11 (wine?) on your dock
if X11 not loaded OSU wont run

and so far after short time testing it, i test beatmap with vids and none
either windowed mode or full screen there is frame spike / drop (i test with no other apps running, except istats menus)
maybe higher processor (i7 quad core mac can run it smooth? )

but again this still on beta, so yeah i think we need to wait for few next releases, i think OSU mac will as stable as windows version

Installed it and added beatmaps without any problems so far. Not sure if its a known issue or just me but when I try to change my mouse sensitivity higher than default it bugs out my mouse till I put it back (using Razer Deathadder not mac mouse). Buggy as in if i were using a wireless and the batteries were running out. I know its just beta and appreciate you guys making a OS X version!

As mentioned in peppy's first post, it can take some time for the application to open even with X11 installed. It took around four or five minutes for mine, but if X11 isn't installed, it'll surely take longer as it won't run.

Whenever I try to , it keeps saying "A server-side error has occurred" and it won't let me on. I've searched for about an hour looking for a solution and can't find one. Please help me!

You are unable to to Bancho right now because this version of wine apparently doesn't allow it. You are just stuck playing without scores or multi for now. Sorry :/

if only you had read this thread properly instead.

the current client version has some issues where under wine, connectivity cannot be made due to issues with the emulator not enumerating network devices properly.

we've known this since i first packaged the application a few months ago, but have never had time to get around to fixing it.

there's a client workaround which can be done for this and when some development time is available, i am sure it will be addressed.

Wow, Peppy! This is great! How do you get this to run on mac? I thought osu! revolved around .NET Framework!? Great job, anywho!

EDIT : Oh it's in wine -_- Sorry just realized that. *facepalm*

hullo, just wondering if i have managed to and made it run, but are unable to play the beatmaps? ive seen it installing when i go to play or ed new ones. tried restarting and installing, but it is as if it cant id them? is it something ive missed? feel like a complete idiot.

I just ed http://d.osu-ppy-sh.jeuxcrack.net/osu!.app.zip
and ran osu!.app

but, some error occured to me



this is my system, Macboot Air 13"

Awesome, it works good! good job:D

but my beatmaps wont import, i done exactly as you told me but he doesnt find the maps i guess, there is no error message of any kind.

How do I install skins using the mac version of osu?

It's working perfectly. Well done, peppy. So far I haven't encountered any problems, although... I had fps spikes without the "low-end pc" settings.
I have an Intel Core i7 @ 2 Ghz and a AMD Radeon HD 6490M @ 256 MB. Not sure if it's because the specs are too low. Well, at least I can also play on my mac now. Can't complain about that :p

Everything works nicely for me as well. I have decent FPS and have yet to encounter lag (even with graphics heavy maps). However I had to change my music offset to -36 in order to time it with the notes, and for some reason, my mouse movement doesn't seem as precise as on my PC (using the same mouse and DPI settings).
Thanks for bringing osu! to the mac, looking forward to more improvements on this!

Great job getting this to work. However it won't let me , it keeps saying "A server side error occurred retrying in 30s". It assumedly keeps retrying but never actually works. Any help?

Hi,
just wondering how to open the osu! program I have a few songs in the song folder and x11 in the dock and running but when I click on the osu! program it bounces once and disappears. What am I doing wrong?

I'm pretty sure X11 come with the computer
Check Application > Utilities > probably the very last thing in the folder is X11 (looks like a white box with an X in it)

hope this helps

Hey Guys, 5I'm French guys, sorry for my English whi isn't excelent)

Well, I have a little (big) problem: I ed osu! for Mac OS X this morning. Then, I have a file .zip. I opened this file and he show me the file osu.app. So double click on this file, I wait 5,6,7minutes and...nothing.
Next, I decided to vérify if I have X11 and yes I have this program. So I started and I leaved him open. Then, I reclick on osu.app witch X11 open. 5,6,7minutes...and nothing.

So I don't understand xD. Why osu.app doesn't run? I have X11 so whi I can start the program?

I need your help, please.

Can you check for any relevant output in your Console.app (in Applications/Utilities/) and pastebin it please?

"pastebin"?

pastebin.com or codepad.com or any other easy way to share logfiles/text on the internet

Yeah but... I don't understand xD

I have the console.app but what I am suppose to do with this?

Same here. I open it on my mac and it immediatley goes off. Even when I put a beatmap into teh songs folder!

I still can't see the songs that I installed on osu. I can't press f5, because it will go to spaces, and I've restarted it about 10 times. I don't know what to do anymore, I've never had a problem with it before.

And the score ? D=
Because i don't want to lose my rank on catch the beat

OMG Working very good ! To add song FN + F5 is working duh... And loggin as it said in first post, its no working. But you can still record your own score...

Thank you so much for making osu! available on mac. I been looking forward to being able to play osu! on my mac for a while and it works great! :3 Can't wait for online rankings to work ^^

Hwaiting for final release, meanwhile... ing test release and copying beatmaps from bootcamp.

<3

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!!!

Is there gonna be a time where osu won't have to be operated on wine?

It won't let me log on osu =/

Hello peppy?... um i cant get new beatmaps onto my song list and its always the tutorial can you please reply to me as soon as possible because i really want to play the game

Thanks for this, but it's a tad too laggy to play on my 2010 MacBook Air...and this Mac is better than most Macs out there. =/

Tried 800x600 and runs well at ~100fps. Awesome stuff! Now to wait for Bancho to come back, and I'll start playing this great game again. Stopped playing since uninstalling windows.

Two problems:

1. The song usually doesn't show up after importing and they don't even show up if you to quit and start again many, many times. You have to delete all the old songs for the new ones to show up...and drag the old ones back in from the trash.

2. The spinner is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING since it stops spinning if your cursor leaves the window. This is a big problem. I am failing every spinner right now.

Your MacBook Pro is definitely more powerful than my Air...so something's wrong. I'm getting pretty good frames.

i added a song to the song folder and i refreshed and relaunched osu but i am still not getting the song to show up

I've got a little problem. Even when I put the unlimited FPS mode, it stays at 60FPS. I don't know why!

1. You need to press F5 a few times while at the song select screen. It takes a while but it should auto-refresh your song list with the new beatmaps.

2. I agree with this. However, there is still the fullscreen option, even if it might take a while to get accustomed to.

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?

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?
