I'm going to be honest, I don't really know what I'm looking at here. How did you get the game to open like this? I've never seen an error report that looked like this. In any case, I'll list two common solutions to Mac problems. The first is to move the game to your applications folder. If that doesn't work, you can also reference this link to give the game read/write permissions. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchlp1203/mac (Note you may have to select which version of MacOS you are running at the top of that link.) Let me know if neither of those work. Also, is there a different file you can execute, or something? Typically, Mac errors will look like this:

(1 edit)

The mac error doesn't look like that cuz the game's been auto crashing, I had to open the terminal to get this error to report. Also, tried both already, and no, def is the right file, cuz I got it to work eons ago on a different mac and I worked fine.

Okay, I'm still kind of looking into this, but I have one potential solution to try. I've uploaded another Mac version  0.36.4, but I've (attempted to) update the NW.JS files for it. This can supposedly help some instances of the game crashing on startup. Speaking of which, what OS do you have on your current Mac? From what I've read, RPG Maker MV actually discontinued support for MV on Mac, because newer operating systems don't support 32-bit programs and Open.gl, both of which are things RPG Maker MV requires. That could explain why the game worked on the different Mac you mentioned. But supposedly update the NW.JS can help? It's worth a shot. Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac to test this out on, so I can't even say for sure if I updated the NW.JS files correctly. I've done so on Linux, and it does just require you to copy and paste the updated NW.JW files into the game folder, so hopefully it works the same way with Mac files. https://mega.nz/file/8ewjhYzK#wT9XVZ7ySV2ZlGrGTs4NUR59EpgUpFqxVILtH3V5J_Q

One last thing, you might be able to run the game through a browser by using the web version. This makes the character creator not work, which will result in your players paperdoll face not showing up during scenes and your sprite's appearance might not change to reflect your clothing, but otherwise seems to work fairly well. If you end up trying that route, there is a link on the main page describing something you'll need to edit on your browser to enable it to run.

Nice, now I'm getting normal error messages lol

Alright, so, I'm pretty sure that isn't going to work. I thought at first it was promising that the game isn't crashing on startup, but I've never seen that specific error before, and I'm not finding much trying to search it, so my takeaway is that I probably fucked something up trying to update the nw.js. Did you try the other two mac solutions with this new file? Putting it in applications and giving it full permissions? Just want to double check on the off chance that makes it work. I spent a few hours looking further into updating nw.js, using a method that updates the games files before deploying them. Unfortunately, the guide for how to do so only seems to work for windows and Linux, unless you are using a Mac yourself. I have no idea why that is the case. There is a zipped unsigned folder for the game for Mac versions, but the guide says not to touch that. I tried touching it anyways, and I'm 99% sure the result was completely broken. The new nw.js files somehow had a smaller filesize than the older ones, and the filepath wasn't exactly the same, so the outcome had two separate folders. I'm not even going to try and upload that one. My further reading on the subject has also revealed that this might not completely fix the gamebreaking bugs regardless. I believe I'd need to try and emulate Mac on my computer to even attempt anything further, and hope that emulation doesn't add another slew of issues in the process.

Also, I'm still operating under the assumption that this issue stems from you having a newer Mac operating system. Could you please check and let me know what version you are running? And I'll once again suggest trying the web version of the game as an alternative. Sorry I couldn't help further.

Hey, I tried both the other ones, I'm running Montery 12.6, on an M1, no problemo, I'll just run the web version

Okay yeah it probably is the version of Mac you are running. 11 and up aren't supported for MV, unfortunately. Sorry again for not being able to fix that, but the web version should work for the most part. Be careful about clearing your browsers cache/history, as the saves will be saved in your browser.
