Nice to see someone finally got it going.

I haven't been able to mess with it for a long time(nor have I had the time to play anyway lately). To be honest, I kind of gave up after my last few attempts at trying to get it running. Every time I'd get the damn thing working properly, they'd update Skulltag and then I'd be screwed again. I finally just decided to play on my Windows 7 partition and be done with it. I hate that I couldn't help more, but what can you do?

Mike, feel free to delete the thread with my old guide in it if you feel like it doesn't have any real use anymore. No need having two guides on the site confusing people.

This topic led me to believe that MM8BDM uses a special version of Zandronum that needs to be ported.  I was wrong, you don't even need Wineskin to do multiplayer.  This assumes you know how OSX Zandronum and Doomseeker work, which isn't far away from Windows at all:

1. Download the latest version, unzip it.
2. Take megagame.wad and place it where you put your other IWADs (doom.wad, heretic.wad, etc.).  Take skulltag_actors.pk3 and place it somewhere where Doomseeker will notice (all skulltag stuff ends up in my folder of downloaded stuff from multiplayer servers, but if you're afraid of deleting it on accident putting it in the same place as megagame or your usual PK3/WADs folder works too.)
3. Put mm8bdm-v5b.pk3 (or whatever the newest version is) somewhere where Zandronum will see it.  If you do not have this attempt to join any server in Doomseeker that uses megagame.wad.  Doomseeker will start looking for WADs and PK3s you don't have as usual, among these is the important thing you need: mm8bdm-v5b.pk3 (or whichever version the newest is).  You might want to move this somewhere safe where you don't delete it.
4. You're done.  Enjoy.

This should also be true for any platform that a Zandronum and Doomseeker version exist for.  You don't even need to update your IWAD aliases.  I really don't know about single player yet but I might attempt it later.

EDIT: Okay, singleplayer works.  This setup or similar launches the vanilla game without problem, just set it up in the create game menu of Doomseeker and click Play Offline.  Only thing is that it goes straight past the start menu into Dr. Light's tutorial/the start spawn point in front of the lab (in theory starting the game from Zandronum itself could fix this, but Doomseeker is better at loading other items with the WAD which is needed here), but no biggie there as you have Player Setup.  Want to add mods?  Just add them in the bottom.


EDIT 2: Just so you know, this all is also true for v5c and beyond.  Just remember to download and update your files when they come out.  Also I have no clue how to deal with the skins folder as I don't really use customs.

There is something wrong... I download it, it was successful, but when I try to open it, my mac says that the game may be broken or corrupted. I really want to play megaman 8bit deathmatch! Can you please rearrange the download please?
