Run Halo CE on Apple Silicon

Steps to install the game:

1. Get CrossOver or Parallels

2. Find a Halo CE (Custom Edition) installer and the 1.0.10 patch or use these links:

Installer: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=...

Patch: https://archive.org/details/halopc-pa...

3. Only on Crossover, to run the installer you first have to put a missing DLL-file in your system32 folder within the Windows bottle: https://www.dll-files.com/mfc42.dll.html

4. Use the following CD Key or google it:

mcxmm-y29c6-dr36c-b6w4t-t9p73

5. Run the patch installer

6. Chimera, the update for Halo we should have had but never got: https://github.com/SnowyMouse/chimera

Here is the installation procedure for installing Chimera:
1 Update Halo to version 1.10 (unless you're playing the trial).
2 Back up your game's Strings.dll. Renaming it to strings-old.dll works.
3 Copy strings.dll, chimera.ini, and fonts into your game folder.
4 Optionally add a mods folder to load custom dll mods.
NOTE: Each file goes into the main game folder, NOT controls. If you put the files in controls, it will not work.

7. Only on Crossover, Set the game to run in window mode by passing this parameter:

-windowed
