The galaxy is trapped in an endless cycle of extinction. Every 50,000 years, an ancient machine race invades the galaxy. With ruthless efficiency, the machines wipe out all advanced organic civilization. They leave behind only the scattered ruins of technology, destroying all evidence of their own existence.
Few believe this ancient legend. You, however, know it to be true. The fight to stop this extinction event has become the most important mission in the galaxy.
"You must act without remorse, without hesitation, and outside the limits of the law."
It is your mission. As Commander Shepard of the SS Normandy, you will take your elite recon squad across a galaxy in turmoil, in a desperate race to stop the return of an enemy without mercy. To stop this enemy, you must act without remorse, without hesitation, and outside the limits of the law. Your only imperative is to preserve the safety of civilized life in the galaxy - at any cost. You must become the tip of the spear of humanity, for you alone know the full extent of what is at stake if you should fail.

Thanks for putting this one up LazerTag. Downloading now, fingers crossed ...
On first run: "Failed to initialize the emulator!"
and quits.
SecuRom? Or what do you think?

It does sound like SecuRom.
Did your install go ok as I noted above in the instructions?
Did you install the 1.02 patch?

I confess I didn't install it this time, just copied over the files from another wrapper and edited the info.plist. Weird, though, since the other one didn't present the emulator error, just had screwy textures.
Anyway, I'll try reinstalling now. Thanks.

Yeah the only reason I started from the install is all the current registry keys have "lazertag" as the username and possibly other items so I figure the install will take care of that. Also I did remove my key and SecuROM directory which installing should place those back as they should be as well.
Oddly though, I created another user on my system "taglazer" and tried installing as per above and Wineskin continually crashes right as I try to run the "setup.exe". I don't get what is happening there just yet. Under my account I can install it over and over just fine. I'm going to have to find someone near me with a Mac (a lot tougher then it sounds) and see if I can do some testing on their machine on this. All the wrappers I've done so far, none of them have done this.

this failed for me too:(
ie why i wanted a cider port... but i guess we will have to wait for newer cider wrappers for that

Well, it seems to be installing from setup.exe this end. I'll keep you posted.
Ir works! Installed, patched, running at 1680 x 1050 on a GT330M with mouse working in menus, no visible graphics issues and a decent framerate. I've only played through ten minutes or so but noticed no anomalies so far.
Great port, LazerTag, thank you so much -- I have been looking for a way to play my copy of this without dual-booting for ages. Kudos.

@ryno
At what point did it fail ?
@mudlark
Your welcome. I'm very glad it works as intended. Still dismayed as to why my secondary login can't install Mass Effect as prescribed above though?? I'm researching into that today.

Wow, nice!

I'll give it a go from my own second login when I get back later. I don't know much about this stuff, but could it perhaps be a run-as-admin thing? Can't see why it would make a difference. But let's see.
so does this work on 10.5 Leopard. Unlike the old wrapper :(
It should. Wineskin 1.2 supports OSX 10.5 using any engine currently.
omg, this is one of the best video games i've ever played!
I have a problem with the mouse. It works in menus, but in gameplay it moves around in small square, so i can rotate the camera only about 20% of 360° in horisontal and same with verical. Everything else seem to work just fine. It would be great if this could be fixed somehow.
