Starting 10.5 on a Mac [Solution]

[Fizz 0]

For those of you who have a Mac, and want to play episode 10.5 from where you left off in episode 10 (i.e using your old save file instead of starting a new game), here's how to do it.

1. Open up terminal and type in: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

2. Open up your episode 10 and save again, thus updating your save file.

Now this is where it gets tricky depending on how you downloaded and installed Pokemon Reborn. If you created a WineBottle and made it like an app, then follow these steps,

3. Open it WineBottler

4. On the bar where it says, "Download On My Mac Advanced" click on "On My Mac"

5. Usually, you should only have one prefix, but it's not bad if you have more. You'll just have to do a little digging to find the right save file then.

6. Click on the little search button thing (it's right after the prefix's name ends)

7. It should lead you to a directory Application Support folder and is usually called com.yourcom. etc unless you called the prefix something else when you created the Bottle. You can change the name of the folder to something that is easier to remember if you'd like. (Note that you won't find this folder normally if you goto Library/Application Support because for some reason it's hidden)

8. Click on drive_c then winebottler and you've found your save file.

9. Now Open up the game.exe for episode 10.5 and create a bundle for episode 10.5 and call your Identifier something else (instead of com.yourcom because it gets confusing as hell)

10. When it's done creating the WineBottle, open up 10.5 and play the intro (up to the point where Julia tells you to goto the Grand Hall. You can play further if you'd like but there's really no point)

11. Locate the folder that has your save file for episode 10.5 (Steps 4-8)

12. Copy and Paste your old save file into the folder that has the save file for episode 10.5, thus replacing it.

13. Open up 10.5 and it should have "Continue" from where you left on in episode 10.

Note that this process worked for me perfectly fine and this only works (I think) if you created a WineBottle. If you played Pokemon Reborn some other way without creating a Bottle, I'm not sure how the process works, but I'll try and figure it out. There may be an easier way to do what I just did but I don't know that way.

If you have any questions about the process, let me know and I'll try to help and clarify as much as I can. It's a pain but once you figure it out the first time, you'll be fine for every consequent episode.
