Alternative way to run HDoujin Downloader on Mac

Post by lullabyforacat » Mon Jul 08, 2024 11:43 pm

I wanted to share one way you can get HDoujin Downloader to work on Mac in the event someone was struggling or uncomfortable with Wine. This is a fairly simple method.

This is my setup to run HDoujin Downloader on my M1 Mac:
Use CrossOver by Code Weavers.
Create a Windows 10 32bit bottle
install .net 4.X (latest version)
Choose Run Command > for the Command box browse to the HDoujin installer
Run and Save Command as Launcher.

I've played around with different configurations and this one has been the most stable for me and has yet to crash on me. When I tested running it in a windows 11 bottle it would crash with in 2-5 minutes.
