How to run JJ2 on Mac about jazz2-native HOT 7 CLOSED

It looks like you downloaded Windows version. You need to download macOS version (https://github.com/deathkiller/jazz2/releases/download/2.5.0/Jazz2_2.5.0_MacOS.zip) and install ARM64 (if you have new Mac) or x64 (if you have old Mac) version. Then run the game, you can then press Enter in main menu to open Source directory in Finder, then copy original files there. And then you can play the game.

Hm no, but this is the download of the Resurrection App, isn't it? Of course I downloaded the Mac version for that, but I want to use the Resurrection App to play the windows version of JJ2 (because a mac version was never released). The Resurrection App works perfectly (is in Italian though ;)).

But I wonder which the original files are you talk about. Because even if I copy things into that Source directory, nothing happens. So I wonder If I maybe don't know which files have to be placed there...
I thought the original files were the source files of the game I downloaded on gog (which are shown in the screenshot).
Or do I completely misunderstand?

Files shown in your screenshot are from Windows version of Jazz² Resurrection (not files from GOG). You've probably got your files mixed up.
And yes, you need to place original Jazz Jackrabbit 2 files (the Windows version from GOG) to Source directory. The directory should contain Anims.j2a, Data.j2d and a lot of *.j2l and *.j2t files (which is not the one in your screenshot).

Oh alright, my bad. I tried this together not at my own computer and requested the screenshot. Could very well be that things got mixed up. Let me try again...

Ah but If I download that I get only the file GOG_Galaxy_Jazz_Jackrabbit_2_The_Secret_Files.exe...
Or if I dont download that galaxy thing I get a file like setup_jazz_jackrabbit_2_1.24_jj2_(5.12)_(66703).exe

You need to extract files from the GOG installer you downloaded. It's written also here - https://deat.tk/jazz2/help#which-versions-of-jazz-jackrabbit-2-game-are-supported:

If you are not able to install/extract original files from GOG.com installer, you can use innoextract.

Innoextract works fine on Windows, but I don't know how it works on Mac. Unfortunately, I don't use Mac, so I have no idea how to extract it there.

Oh alright, that's the missing piece then. I read about that innoextract, but it was not really clear to me how to use it and so on. I will try. Thank you that helps
