Hey everybody, I posted on /r/poker and thought to cross-post here.

For Mac users who prefer Flopzilla, I was able to get FZ working on a Mac *without* having to buy Parallels. (!!!)

If you're not familiar, there is a tool for the Linux world called "Wine" which allows you to run Windows apps on Linux. Sounds crazy but it actually works ... sometimes. Anyhow with a little finagling I was able to make it work on my Mac running OSX Monterey v 12.6.1.


If there's interest I could do a more detailed howto. For now here are some bullet points ... note you will have to get cozy with the OSX Terminal app.

1. install homebrew https://brew.sh

2. brew install wine https://wiki.winehq.org/MacOS

3. brew install wineskin https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinSer...ineskin-Winery

4. download Flopzilla msi installer from FZ website

5. open Wineskin from /Applications and install the "engine" 64bit non-Metal

6. create a new Wineskin "wrapper" for Flopzilla (instructions on wiki step #3)

7. open wrapper and point to msi installer. I like to delete the complicated Program Files directory structure and just install to c:\Flopzilla

--> This will open the FZ installer and will look like you're installing a Windows app, but you're on OSX (!!)

8. open wrapper again and select Flopzilla.exe


Happy to say -- for me at least -- it just worked !!
