Fallout 2 Restoration on Mac - and other questions

First time out of the vault
Hey folks, long time lurker.

I've enjoyed the restoration pack from Killap on the pc before. My work have just bought me a shiny new mac so I'd like to play my favorite game on it.

Is it possible to install the Restoration pack on a mac?
Are there any other recommended mods/patches/downloads for the mac versions of Fallout 1 or 2?

Just to note I cant duel boot into windows on this machine at all :( so everything needs to be mac native.
 
Actually, yes. I'm running RP on my Mac right now in a Windows emulation wrapper called WINE. Download the wrapper at http://portingteam.com/files/file/7250-fallout-2 (you'll have to sign up first) and unzip it to make Fallout2.app.

You still need to load Fallout 2 into the wrapper so right click Fallout2.app and choose Show Package Contents. You can either copy a previous Windows install into drive_c/Program Files or (if you have the disk or DL file) run the Wineskin.app there and Install Windows Software.

To load RP, download the .EXE installer and run Wineskin.app and Install Windows Software (ignore the no new executable warning). You can edit .../ddraw.ini and .../f2_res.ini according to the RP's instructions. Be sure to rename or delete patch000.dat.

Fallout2.exe overwrites the files in .../DATA/proto/Critters and .../DATA/proto/Items erasing RP's files there. To prevent this on MacOSX, you need to run Applications/Utilities/Terminal and type:
Code: 
sudo chown -R root (drag-and-drop the .../Items and .../Critters folders)
(Type in your password)
sudo chmod -R 444 (drag-and-drop the .../Items and .../Critters folders)
sudo chmod 1777 (drag-and-drop the .../Items and .../Critters folders)
sudo -k
