I'm sure a lot of Mac users will be very grateful to you for this. Well done! 
Not a problem. I've played through a season and a half, and so far no issues, bugs, or crashes. It really works very well and I'm happy to have been able to share how I got it working with other Mac users on this board.archibalduk wrote:Wow! That is fantastic work!
P.s. I'm sure if Mac users are feeling a little nervous about this then they could simply install the Try'n'Buy demo without purchasing the license so that they can first try it in demo mode before paying for a license.
As with the CSD Patch, you will need to perform the above method each time you reload a saved game until you reach 1st Feb/July of the first season.archibalduk wrote:Firstly, download and install ArtMoney Freeware (aka Special Edition): http://www.artmoney.ru/e_download.htm
You will also need to download this file:
1) Load EHM 2007. Once the opening credits have appeared, you will see the opening main menu screen with the New Game / Load Game / etc buttons.
2) Load ArtMoney. In Windows Vista / 7 you have to use 'Run as Admin'. I don't know whether you would have to do something similar in Winery.
3) In ArtMoney, click on the Load button and select the file you just downloaded. If you get a message asking whether you want to convert to 64-bit mode, click on No.
4) You will see a list of values appear in the right hand column of ArtMoney.
5) Ensure that EHM is the selected process in the drop-down menu near the top of ArtMoney. If it is not, click on the drop-down and select it:
6) Select all of the values other than the 'World Champs (Season+1)' value. You select them by using the shift and/or ctrl keys and clicking on each of the value descriptions (i.e. the text listed under the 'description' column). Then click on Edit -> Set Value.
7) In the Set Value window, enter the Value as 2011 and the Step as 0 (zero). Click on OK. This will make all of the selected values become 2011.
8) Now select just the 'World Champs (Season+1)' value. Click Edit -> Set Value and set it to 2012 (with the Step as zero).
9) Your list in ArtMoney should now look like this (click on the thumbnail):
10) In EHM, start a new game. Once you have started a new game, you can exit ArtMoney.
I take it any other rosters are fine though? If that's the case then I expect your problem relates to the following:sjsharkz wrote:Oh thats okay TealShark you have already done enough work!! Archi the non patched rosters don't work, it comes up with an error when I go to start a new game.

There is an issue with the non-patched rosters which means that you cannot save any changes using the Pre Game Editor. It looks like the converter I used to push back the years has a minor glitch in it which I need to investigate and fix. I will be looking at fixing this as soon as I finish the history updating.
This sounds similar to the whole 'Run as Admin' difficulty using the Editor in Windows Vista/7. There is a weird quirk where if you run the Pre Game Editor as Admin but not EHM (or vice versa) then your changes don't appear in game. I wonder if there is something similar going on with your Winetricks. Are there any admin/security options which you can enable for the Editor?sjsharkz wrote:Also the pre game editor loads up but when I make changes, it doesn't change in the game itself.
Ah yes the "Run as Admin" problem haha, I can't seem to find anything similar to it. Though I am not overly experienced with this Winetricks program.archibalduk wrote:This sounds similar to the whole 'Run as Admin' difficulty using the Editor in Windows Vista/7.

I've played it a little more, and yes, this is working for me so far. I've got the latest database of rosters playing, and I'm happy!!krownstone wrote:I may have figured out how to make this work on a Mac. I'll be able to tell you for sure when I get to playing it a little more...
I've actually thought about packaging a wrapper with the game installed and prime for you to enter your license information, but I'm not sure of legalities of distributing a pre-installed wrapper.Thekaszz wrote:I followed tealsharks guide but when i double click it in Applications, the icon pops up and the application is running ( i can see the name in the top bar) but nothing happens. After 5 seconds it just quits.
I haven't bought the license yet, because i want to try out the demo first using this method.
Im running Snow Leopard... any help?
Definitely.archibalduk wrote:A big thumbs up to TealShark for his continued assistance on all things Mac/Wine!
Ok well i had Wineskin 1.3.33 or something, so as im trying it for the 15th+ time, it's on 1.5.1, maybe that was the problem.TealShark wrote:I've actually thought about packaging a wrapper with the game installed and prime for you to enter your license information, but I'm not sure of legalities of distributing a pre-installed wrapper.Thekaszz wrote:I followed tealsharks guide but when i double click it in Applications, the icon pops up and the application is running ( i can see the name in the top bar) but nothing happens.

I had no issues getting it set up and running to the registration screen, so I'm not 100% why it won't get that far on your Snow Leopard install. Can you re-do step #6 and watch the log window for any errors when you install vcrun2003? It seems like any of the three winetricks packages you need to install would be a prime suspect for a start-up crash.
