Sikarugir

https://github.com/Sikarugir-App/Sikarugir Well, try installing this Wine build for Mac and then Steam for Windows under it. Then run Steam and enable "Steam Play/Proton compatibility" or whatever it's called under its settings.

Install this Wine build for Apple Silicon and then install anything you want, from Steam to GOG games which often will perfectly run in your machine: https://github.com/Sikarugir-App/Sikarugir Next, open Steam and enable the "Steam Play/proton compatibility" in the settings.

Try a Wine port for Mac with Proton. Such as https://github.com/Sikarugir-App/Sikarugir Steps to compile it by hand (if you want a bit more of performance): Install homebrew /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" Then, run this commands in the terminal to build and install Wine: brew upgrade brew trust Sikarugir-App/sikarugir brew install --cask Sikarugir-App/sikarugir/sikarugir /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license Guide to run windows games under Wine with the Sikarugir wrapper/build. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCgYxRPIqjE&t=23s Here you don't compile anything, just install them and that's it. Altough the compiled Wine might give you a few FPS' more. Also, the Rosetta related command/installation it's mandatory to translate x86 i

Try Sikarugir for PC gaming on macOS. It runs everything I've cared to try, with little or no tweaking. https://github.com/Sikarugir-App/Sikarugir

For those who don't already know, you can get a lot of PC gaming performance out of these machines using Sikarugir. You can install all of Steam via winetricks and go from there, or launch DRM-free games directly. https://github.com/Sikarugir-App/Sikarugir

For MacOS there is Sikarugir (formerly Wineskin.) It lets you bundle a win32 program with a wine runtime as a .app https://github.com/Sikarugir-App/Sikarugir https://github.com/vitor251093/wineskin

> Does something like Whisky work in the new macOS Apple Silicon world? From what I understand, Whisky only works with macOS Sonoma and Sequoia anyway. Kegworks [1] works with Mavericks and Ventura, and WineBottler for Intel Macs. [1] https://github.com/Kegworks-App/Kegworks

I've just finished both campaigns (and moving on to Firestorm!) on my M1 Macbook by running the game through https://www.portingkit.com/ . It guides you through installation and wraps the game in Wine and other layers as its own .Application for running on arm or intel macs. Porting Kit has bespoke configurations for compatible games. Also see https://github.com/Kegworks-App/Kegworks (formerly Wineskin, the upstream tech leveraged by Porting Kit without the bespoke angle) which i've used for various modern games to great effect.

You may be interested in Wineskin for M1/M2 Macs. I use this to play some old school games on my 2023 M2 Max Mac. https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer

Around 2015, if you wanted to play your vintage Windows games on your Mac, you could launch Wineskin Winery[0], pass the game installer to it and get the game as a Mac app. Today, the wrapped games from back then don't work any more due to Apple's 64-bit transition. Wineskin Winery is defunct. There is a fork[1] that claims to work but it beachballed my Mac the last time I tried and the project is somewhat shady anyways. (Claims to be LGPL but binaries are provided without source code). I tried CrossOver[2] several times but the UI is so confusing that I never get anything to run. I am aware of virtualization but I would like not to buy Windows licenses or boot entire operating systems to play my games. I miss being able to just stuff a game into a wrapper and be done. What are the options today? [0]: https://web.archive.org/web/201312010

Another option if you don't mind disabling SIP. Don't know how well it works: https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer > WS11WineCX19.0.1 & WS11WineCX64Bit19.0.1 include wine32on64 and can function on macOS Catalina but these have not been signed or notarized so to make use of these you need to disable SIP in order for wine32on64 to set the kernal flag to allow 32Bit code execution. I don't believe this is in the release version of Crossover atm?
