Question - Solved Heroes 3 on MacAir M1 ?[SOLVED]

I tried almost everything from the cheaper / free options to run Heroes 3 on Mac M1. 2024

Here are the steps worked for me:

What did not work not just for me: .PlayOnMac: couldn’t dowload Windows part .Wineskin: crashes every minute .those compiling stuff..

Note: After playing the way in the description, you do not need to run PortingKit every time, just run you HoMM wrap from the library it installed (I put it in Mac/Users/my username)

Keywords, to save some time in search coz it took me a day to find relevant posts: MAC Heroes 3 MacAir M1 Portingkit Winery Wineskin Apple Play PlayOnMac crashes

I just used CrossOver but it worked on Whiskey too. The installer from GOG is fine.

The issue you’ll run into us that the standard executable doesn’t actually work, but the HD mod does. I cannot explain to you the reason for this, and it doesn’t really matter either way. Just install the HD mod and enjoy. :)
