Good day to all of you;
I just wanted to share with anyone who might be interested how I got this game to work on my MacBook Pro using Wine/WineSkin. The full details of my testing to date can be found at [url=http://homepage.usask.ca/~tjl128/Shadallarks_Bookmarks/OS_X_Wine-StarWolves.html]this site[/url], but the gist of it is that I created a wrapper using WineSkin Winery, I installed the game, I used WineSkin to get to WineTricks which I used to install Direct X 9 (d3dx9_36), and then the game was good to go.
The game was fully playable without installing Direct X 9 but none of the pilot pictures showed up on the arrows at the edge of the screen indicating that the view was being rotated.
If you have any troubles getting this game to function on you Mac please feel free to contact me and I will see if I can help you out.
