-# Bannerlord Local Install Guide (macOS / Apple Silicon)
-
-## Goal
-Run the GOG Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord build natively on Alexander's Mac (arm64, macOS Sequoia+).
-
-## Prerequisites
-- macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon (arm64)
-- ~60 GB free disk space (game + Wine prefix)
-- GOG installer files in `~/Downloads/`:
-  - `setup_mount__blade_ii_bannerlord_1.3.15.109797_(64bit)_(89124).exe`
-  - `setup_mount__blade_ii_bannerlord_1.3.15.109797_(64bit)_(89124)-1.bin` through `-13.bin`
-
-## Step 1: Install Porting Kit
-
-Porting Kit (free) wraps Wine/GPTK for macOS. It has a GUI but we automate what we can.
-
-```bash
-brew install --cask porting-kit
-```
-
-Launch it once to complete first-run setup:
-```bash
-open -a "Porting Kit"
-```
-
-## Step 2: Create Wine Prefix + Install Game
-
-**Option A: Via Porting Kit GUI (recommended)**
-
-1. Open Porting Kit
-2. Click "Install Game" → "Custom Port" or search for Bannerlord
-3. Point it at: `~/Downloads/setup_mount__blade_ii_bannerlord_1.3.15.109797_(64bit)_(89124).exe`
-4. Follow the GOG installer wizard
-5. Install to default path inside the Wine prefix
-6. When done, note the prefix path (usually `~/Library/Application Support/PortingKit/...`)
-
-**Option B: Manual Wine prefix (advanced)**
-
-If you have Homebrew Wine (or GPTK) installed:
-
-```bash
-# Create prefix
-export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Games/Bannerlord"
-wine64 boot /init
-
-# Run the GOG installer (it auto-chains the .bin files)
-cd ~/Downloads
-wine64 setup_mount__blade_ii_bannerlord_1.3.15.109797_\(64bit\)_\(89124\).exe
-```
-
-Follow the GOG installer wizard. Default install path is fine.
-
-## Step 3: Locate the Game Binary
-
-After installation, the game executable is at:
-```
-$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/GOG Games/Mount & Blade II Bannerlord/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client/Bannerlord.exe
-```
-
-Or inside Porting Kit's prefix at:
-```
-~/Library/Application Support/PortingKit/<prefix-name>/drive_c/GOG Games/Mount & Blade II Bannerlord/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client/Bannerlord.exe
-```
-
-## Step 4: First Launch
-
-```bash
-# Find the actual path first, then:
-cd "$HOME/Games/Bannerlord/drive_c/GOG Games/Mount & Blade II Bannerlord/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client"
-wine64 Bannerlord.exe
-```
-
-Or use the launcher script:
-```bash
-./portal/bannerlord/launch.sh
-```
-
-## Step 5: Proof (Operator Checklist)
-
-- [ ] Game window opens and is visible on screen
-- [ ] At least the main menu renders (TaleWorlds logo, "Campaign", "Custom Battle", etc.)
-- [ ] Screenshot taken: save to `portal/bannerlord/proof/` 
-- [ ] Launch command recorded below for repeatability
-
-**Launch command (fill in after install):**
-```
-# Repeatable launch:
-./portal/bannerlord/launch.sh
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Black screen on launch:**
-- Try: `wine64 Bannerlord.exe -force-d3d11` or `-force-vulkan`
-- Set Windows version: `winecfg` → set to Windows 10
-
-**Missing DLLs:**
-- Install DirectX runtime: `winetricks d3dx9 d3dx10 d3dx11 vcrun2019`
-
-**Performance:**
-- GPTK/Rosetta overhead is expected; 30-60 FPS is normal on M1/M2
-- Lower in-game graphics settings to "Medium" for first run
-
-**Installer won't chain .bin files:**
-- Make sure all .bin files are in the same directory as the .exe
-- Verify with: `ls -la ~/Downloads/setup_mount__blade_ii_bannerlord_*`
-

-# Bannerlord Proof
-
-Screenshots and launch logs proving the game runs locally on the Mac.
-
-## How to capture proof
-
-1. Launch the game: `./portal/bannerlord/launch.sh`
-2. Wait for main menu to render
-3. Take screenshot: `screencapture -x portal/bannerlord/proof/main_menu_$(date +%Y%m%d).png`
-4. Save launch log (auto-generated by launch.sh)
-
-## Expected proof files
-
-- `main_menu_*.png` — screenshot of game main menu
-- `launch_*.log` — launch command + environment details
-- `ingame_*.png` — optional in-game screenshots
