sa-mp on mac tutorial

Step 1
We are going to create a new folder and place all GTA files there. If you already have portable GTA somewhere easier to access and do not want to have a backup then skip this step. You can use steam version or any other portable version that you have or downloaded from somewhere. For this video I am going to use steam version. So first thing we have to do is locate our grand theft auto san andreas folder from steam package.

Click on go on the top bar > go to folder now write this destination in the box /Users/YourAccountName/Library/Application Support/Steam now open steamapps > common > grand theft auto - san andreas. Right click on Grand Theft Auto San Andreas icon and show package contents. Open contents folder > Resources > transgaming > c_drive > Program Files > Rockstar Games > GTA San Andreas. Press command + a on your keyboard to select all the files then right click and copy. Go to the gta folder we created earlier and paste all the files inside that folder.

Step 2
We need to download wine bottler in order to make windows application work with mac. Go to http://www.google.com and search wine bottler. Click on the first link. After going to wine bottler's website there will be two download options. We are going to download the second option which is stable version. After clicking download it might show you a warning message if you have adblocker so disable adblocker on that domain. Skip their ad and download will start automatically. After downloading completely open the downloaded file and let it process. Drag wine bottle icon to applications folder.

Step 3
Now we have to setup some prefix for wine to run sa-mp. Go to the top bar on your mac and click on go > applications > find wine and open it. Give it some time to verify and click open. Click on wine icon on top bar right next to wifi and bluetooth icons > wine tricks. Now select the name of the files below and click apply.
