Error running pokemmo on MacBook Pro

[Yenneb]

I just got my MacBook and immediately wanted to download pokemmo. I get all the way to the launcher and all it does it say loading and doesn't move. I read somewhere that It could be a problem with the new m1 chips they use but just wanna be sure about it. I need to play this game! any help or explanation would be helpful.

M1 Macs are not officially supported by PokeMMO, that being said a few people have said they managed to get it working on their M1 Mac, but keep in mind you won't receive official support for it, if you are willing you can try these steps to get it running;

 

- Download via - https://pokemmo.eu/downloads/portable/ (Portable Client)
Extract this client to your desktop, add the ROM's into the folder

 

-Open Terminal and execute these commands - 

 

$ cd Desktop/PokeMMO-Client

$ sh PokeMMO.sh

 

This has worked for others, if you find that the game is still not working or gives another error message, install the JDK 11 package from this link - https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html

 

Scroll down to the MacOS release and ensure that your OS meets the minimum requirements, then install the corresponding package. 

 

Install Java and then make sure it is the correct version by opening Terminal and running

 

java -version 

 

Restart your computer and try the first steps again, that's all I can really suggest. If you encounter any other issues you can reply here and I'll try and help the best I can.

 

Good luck.
