-Does Danmakufu (0.12m) work with Wineskin? I'm guessing not.
-Anybody know how to make a working wrapper for ph3?
-I was skimming the thread and noticed someone mention that the scripts aren't being read? Is there a fix to this?

1. Not to my knowledge.
2. Same as the regular Touhou games.
3. Make sure to run in Japanese locale. If it doesn't work check to make sure you have Japanese locale files installed.
Speaking of which, when I run ph3 in Ubuntu 12.04 the font size is a lot smaller than in Vista (dual-booting on the same computer), to the point where when selecting a replay the text is almost unreadable. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The Command Line Tools are not an application. As for XCode, it is necessary, and it is over one Gigabyte is size (absurd download and install time). However, Macports is the preferred way to run wine on a mac. It will also allow you to get GIMP and other apps with ease (and thtk, all of the free libraries, and a lot of other command line apps). As for Xcode, it allows you to open pretty much any property list, language script, etc so it is useful if you want to make or read executables in different languages, but besides that, it won't be of much use.
If you seriously want to run Touhou games on a mac, however, MacPorts is still a pretty good choice (WineBottler's Wine is never up to date).
Killomatik:
Does anyone know how to translate the "portable" scripts for the later games, like
--- Code: ---@echo off
md "%CD%\user"
set "APPDATA=%CD%\user"
start th128
--- End code ---
to something that can be executed in bash?
The wine documentation suggests setting variables with
--- Code: --- export APPDATA=%CD%\user
--- End code ---
, but that doesn't seem to change the profile location, or else I'm not doing it right.
Killomatik:
Never mind, apparently wine can execute bat files, if you run them with wine start.
On an unrelated note, the main translated dialogue font (THSpatial.ttf) in games 10 and after looks badly aliased in wine. Is it like that for everyone or just me?

It worked well last time I checked (Wine 1.5.20, maybe?)
