John thanks so.

Just to sumarize

- I installed a catelina VM
- I installed macports
- I followed their instructions about Xcode
- I built with johns build script running the script (not pasting every line)
- I used internet instructions to make a dmg from the mythfrontend.app
- I copied the dmg to my main machine with retina display (without retina do no scale)
- Because osx wants to create aliases I opened the dmg with finder
- I copied the app (sudp cp -a /Volumes/YourFolder/mythfrontend.app /Applications)(YourFolder is from how to make a dmg)
- i opened->get info mythfrontend. and checked [open in low resolutiom]

mythfrontend plays perfectly but is slow to open looking for DBUS

- I installed macports dbus on the laptop. DBUS is still not found. I'll investigate

John's high sierra version did not scale (stayed 1/4 size) with [open in low resolution] (but it did/does work properly on my high sierra machine without retina display
