How to run an application through WineSkin on Mac OS?

Hello!
It must be a question and not very from the IT sphere, but I just did not find a better place where I could ask it.

On torrents I saw an application under the tag "ported applications for mac". When the DMG file is launched, the application shell appears, which contains the following: the contents folder, the drive_c shortcut, the Wineskin application (which, in fact, should be responsible for the operation of the entire application, its launch). 5f29be538ca6f722146034.png

When you open the application itself, nothing happens, it just hangs in the docks and is silent.

I tried to do a test run through Wineskin, where the path to the executable file is indicated, the following is displayed in the logs:

X11.app: DISPLAY does not look like a launchd set variable, unsetting.
X11.app: main(): argc=12
  argv[0] = /Applications/G-Force.app/Contents/MacOS/WineskinX11
  argv[1] = :1773
  argv[2] = -depth
  argv[3] = 24
  argv[4] = +xinerama
  argv[5] = -br
  argv[6] = -fp
  argv[7] = /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/encodings,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/OTF,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/util
  argv[8] = -xkbdir
  argv[9] = /Applications/G-Force.app/Contents/Resources/WineskinEngine.bundle/X11/share/X11/xkb
  argv[10] = +extension
  argv[11] = /tmp/Wineskin/bin/quartz-wm
bootstrap_register(): unknown error code


What else I tried to do was to move the Contents folder separately to the desktop by creating a drive_c shortcut, and run the same executable through the newly created blank wrapper, which I also saved to the desktop. By the way, it does not display anything, it only says that the path to the executable file is incorrect, it requires you to specify the path through the C: / drive (I looked at the path, it goes just through drive_c).

I heard that you can somehow "patch" the application, at least that's what they wrote on Rutracker.

The question is: has anyone encountered this problem? How did you solve it? Those who understand macOS, can you suggest ways to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance!
