Heroes 3 on MacAir M1 ?[SOLVED]

[u/MaGaSi]

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

Here are the steps worked for me:

• get GOG acc https://www.gog.com/en/games
• buy HoMM3 (I was lucky, it was on a huuuuge sale)
• get Porting Kit and acc https://www.portingkit.com/
• literally follow the instruction for HoMM3 https://www.portingkit.com/game/236
• profit

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

Porting kit is stuck forever at the wrapper configuration. The loading bar keeps moving but the installation is stuck in this step for like half an hour now.

I'm on an M2 Macbook Pro.

Anyone else had this issue? The installation worked fine on my intel macbook pro but now it just refuses to work :S
