Read step 3.1 again. Create a new folder, name it "RenPyGames" and put all your extracted Windows games there. In the same "RenPyGames" folder you place Ren'Py SDK.dmg.
Here is a step-by-step instruction for Mac users made by a Linux user
1. Donwload the Windows version of a Ren'Py game.
2. Check with which Ren'Py version the game was made:
2.1. For this, check the game's folder and open "log.txt". Check the Ren'Py version (here Ren'Py 7.3.5.606):
Code:
Thu May 21 17:22:54 2020
Linux-4.15.0-101-generic-x86_64-with-debian-stretch-sid
Ren'Py 7.3.5.606
Note: Ren'Py 7.3.5 is the latest available version. Some games were made with an older Ren'Py version.
3. Visit Ren'Py's homepage (
You must be registered to see the links
) and download the correct Ren'Py SDK dmg version according to step 2.1.
3.1 Save Ren'Py.dmg where you store all your games (Ren'Py SDK will use this folder to find "projects")
4. Run Ren'Py SDK
Note: Because we saved Ren'Py SDK in the same directory as all our other Ren'Py games they are now listed on the left side under "Projects".
5. Select the game from your "Projects"-List (see spoiler tag: left side) for which you want to build a stand-alone Mac build and click on "Build Distributions" (right panel).
It is extremely important to match the version of the SDK with the version of the game. 7.3.5 SDK with 6.0.99 game WILL cause issues. I've seem problems with 7.2 SDK and 7.1 game.
Also...<game>/Contents/Resources/Autorun/game/script_version.txt will tell you the SDK version used to make the game.
Tip - say what OS you're running, and give the EXACT error message. It helps people trying to figure out what you mean if we don't have to interpret certain things.

Hello everyone! I have the error of the renpy.app opening for a second and closing too but I didn't understand your explanation on the problem. I can open the app on the .dmg folder but when I transfer to my game folder, I can't open anymore. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!
"Apple agreed to drop a long-running lawsuit in which they alleged Microsoft copied the look and feel of the Mac OS for Windows." Let's face it Microsoft didn't do that out of the goodness of their heart but because they knew if Apple went belly up the trafe departments of many governments would rule Microsoft was a trust/monopoly (they are similar but not identical) and carve them up like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Also Apple was in trouble because, let's be blunt, it was run by idiots for most of the 1990s. Another factor to consider is ARM is coming to both Mac and PCs meaning that x86 based programs are not long for this world.
