Don't worry, the image won't take up that amount of space right away, it will expand as your content grows.
Now, in Size enter the maximum size you'd like this disk to be. Select Sparse disk image in the Image Format selection, and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under Format. Before you hit save, we need to change some of the image settings. In my case I chose to store it right in my Applications folder. Save it as something memorably, such as 'Steam,' and select the folder you'd like to save it in. Launch Disk Utility (if you're not familiar, you can find this in the Utilities folder within your Applications folder), and select File » New Image » Blank Image. You can find it down below in the re-worked guide, called step 'pre-3.' Update: I have updated this guide and added a step, which is useful for people who previously already tried launching Steam before finding this guide.
In this quick guide I'll show you how I did it. Unfortunately companies like Steam and Adobe have still opted not to properly update their apps to be compatible with case-sensitive file systems, so if you have opted to choose this when setting up your Mac or Hack, when you get to wanting to install Steam you'll run into issues.įortunately in the case of Steam there is a workaround that will let you play your favorite Steam games, even if you don't have any case-insensitive partitions available.
