  • Help installing wine 7.0 on mac
    Not sure what your goals are with wine, but if it just to play some games, let me suggest that you take a look at portingkit, which does a lot of the wine heavy lifting for you. Maybe that'll meet your needs. https://portingkit.com. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Porting kit Skyrim issues on M1 Mac mini (low settings)
    Thanks for your reply, it's basically a way to have a library of wine wrappers: https://portingkit.com. Source: over 2 years ago
  • I have a 2020 MacBook Air and I’ve literally tried everything, GeForce is laggy for me parallels and bootcamp need an intel processor, and crossover has issues🤦🏽‍♂️ Is there anything else to try?
    Porting kit is a free wine based solution. Doesn’t work as well as crossover but it’s free https://portingkit.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Age of Mythology crashes after 5 minutes
    It's running fine for me with https://portingkit.com on my M1 Air 8GB. Source: over 2 years ago

  • New to mac gaming need help in porting kits
    Porting Kit is an app you can use to run some games (listed on the website). I’ve tried it and it works somewhat okay. It’s lighter than running an entire virtual machine using Parallels or VirtualBox. If you have decent internet speeds, you could consider cloud gaming. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Heroes on a 2018 MacBook Air running BigSur?
    It is quite easy, but you can use emulator. HOMM3 doesn't require powerfull machine so emulator suits well for this title. Try https://portingkit.com. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Cracked Crossover for M1
    Check out this great free app https://portingkit.com. Source: over 2 years ago
  • How do I use a virtual machine to run 32-bit programs on a M1 mac?
    Https://portingkit.com is free and can run steam. It’s worth a try. I successfully ran an old games Battlefield 2 through that on my M1. Performance was not great though. Personally I use parallels with windows 10 to run all my old steam games including portal 2. Not tried team fortress 2. Porting kit just makes an app to contain all the stuff to do with the games/steam which can be deleted easily if it doesn’t... Source: over 2 years ago
  • Happy Star Trek day. Six classic Star Trek PC games have been released on GOG
    Well, wait a little bit and you will probably get them added to Porting Kit. I have the original disc versions of all those games and I think I had most of them working in Wine before Big Sur broke it. I had Bridge Commander, Away Team, Armada, and SFC3 all working as custom ports in Porting Kit under Big Sur, so I assume there should be "official" ports of them soon. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Do Minecraft/Steam/Epic Games/Origin Work Natively On An M1 Macbook Air?
    Steam runs in Rosetta 2, and will appear to your Mac like a native application. You'll need to check each of your games to see if it is compatible with macOS. If it isn't, there are other options available to you that may let you play them including Crossover, Porting Kit, Parallels with Windows 11 ARM, and GeForce Now. I know a few people are running Minecraft natively, and not using Rosetta, but I don't know... Source: over 2 years ago
  • Command and Conquer MAC Download 2021
    You can play C&C on Mac via an app called Porting Kit. It is available on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs so you should be able to play it regardless of which one you use. It uses Wine to make a Windows VM for that app and runs it like any other app on macOS. All of the freeware C&C games (Tib Dawn, Red Alert, Tib Sun) are available on there for free and you can set them up whenever you like. For running... Source: over 2 years ago

It is available on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs so you should be able to play it regardless. It uses Wine to make a Windows VM for that app and runs it like any other app on macOS.
