+# Install and patch White Album 2 on Mac
+
+## 1: Japanese locale and fonts
+
+Japanese locale should be enabled by default on Mac.
+
+You can check by running:
+```
+$ locale -a | grep ja
+```
+Which should return something like this:
+```
+ja_JP
+ja_JP.eucJP
+ja_JP.SJIS
+ja_JP.UTF-8
+``` 
+Japanese fonts should also be preinstalled but, alas, they don't seem to work 100% in wine.
+
+You could install more fonts in hopes of getting one to work properly but I personally didn't bother.
+
+## 2: Install wine and winetricks
+
+Install [XQuartz 2.7.9](https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.9.html) (newer releases have font issues).
+
+Download [wine](https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html) (any version you want) and run the installer.
+
+Get the latest release of winetricks:
+```
+$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
+$ chmod +x winetricks
+$ sudo mv winetricks /usr/local/bin
+```
+
+## 3: Create a wineprefix for the game
+
+Run the wine application, which will launch a terminal window.
+
+There, type the following commands:
+
+```
+$ export WINEARCH=win32
+$ export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/wa2"
+$ mkdir -p "$WINEPREFIX" && wineboot -u
+```
+Install wine-mono and wine-gecko if prompted.
+
+## 4: Install the game
+
+### If you've already installed the game elsewhere:
+
+Copy the files to the wineprefix:
+
+*(assuming you have them in your home folder)*
+```
+$ cd "$WINEPREFIX"
+$ mkdir "drive_c/Program Files/Leaf"
+$ cp -r "$HOME/WHITE ALBUM2" "drive_c/Program Files/Leaf"
+```
+Apply a registry edit to act like the game has been installed:
+```
+$ curl -o wa2.reg https://ghostbin.com/paste/r627o/download
+$ regedit wa2.reg
+```
+You can now proceed to the [next step](https://gist.github.com/ObserverOfTime/<hash>#5-configure-wine).
+
+### If you haven't installed the game before:
+
+Mount the disks. To do that, rename both .mdf files to .iso and double click them.
+
+Now, mount them in the wineprefix:
+
+*(assuming you have them in your home folder)*
+```
+$ cd "$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices"
+$ ln -s /Volumes/WHITE_ALBUM2_1 x:
+$ ln -s /Volumes/WHITE_ALBUM2_2 y:
+$ ln -s "$HOME/WHITE_ALBUM2_1.iso" x::
+$ ln -s "$HOME/WHITE_ALBUM2_2.iso" y::
+```
+Run the setup:
+```
+$ cd /Volumes/WHITE_ALBUM2_1
+$ LC_ALL=ja_JP wine setup.exe
+```
+Some glyphs will show up as squares but most will be fine.
+
+## 5: Configure wine
+
+Enable opengl:
+```
+$ winetricks settings ddr=opengl
+```
+Install requirements:
+```
+$ winetricks lucida
+$ winetricks devenum
+$ winetricks d3dx9
+$ winetricks quartz
+$ winetricks wmp10
+```
+The installation of wmp10 may hang after it's finished. You can terminate it with Ctrl + C.
+
+## 6: Install the patch
+
+Download the latest release of the [installer](https://github.com/ObserverOfTime/WA2EnglishPatch/releases).
+
+Move it to the White Album 2 directory and run it:
+```
+$ cd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Leaf/WHITE ALBUM2"
+$ mv "$HOME/Downloads/WA2_patch.exe" .
+$ wine WA2_patch.exe
+```
+You should now be able to launch the game:
+```
+$ wine WA2_en.exe
+```
+
+#### That's it!
