ok so I joined this site last night and every post i go to has very poorly explained installation instructions. than there is a gameplay video after it. I'm kind of new to the whole idea of "Wrappers" and "Wrapper Installations" so instead of gameplay videos...how about we post videos that show new users how to install you're Game, Application, or whatever you uploaded. (and then have a game play video after that.) I'm sorry if I sound like a smart*** but it infuriates me that porters aren't taking into consideration that newer members cant install something by giving them poor instructions. :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

There are some tutorials around here, if you've read them you'll have a better idea.
I'm probably not always the best to write instructions, but I'll always help people if they have issues.

I can quickly explain.

A wrapper is the mac part of the port. It's the mac file you download to put the PC game files inside to make the game.

You can right click the wrapper and choose "show package contents" and inside you'll find a colder named "contents". Inside contents there will most likely be a folder named "C_DRIVE".

The C_DRIVE is the equivalent to C:\ on a windows machine. And depending on the porter, they want the game inside the Program Files folder on c_drive.

I often just put files inside the c_drive and not program files.

SOme wrappers are not so easy (mostly cider ports where people are lazy and don't make a c_drive) and you have to look inside Contents/Resources/transgaming/ to find c_drive.

Writing instruction files are boring and I usually see people are asking just as much with the ports I've written long instructions.

If you need more help, ask again here, or in the wrappers topic.
