- Wowfunhappy 7y agoCrossover works, and Wineskin + the Crossover engine works if SIP is turned off.
- ebg13 7y agoHopefully Wine 6 will find a comfortable adaptation of the CrossOver 19 method.
- m_eiman 7y agoSome more info on (part of?) the problem on the CodeWeaver blog: https://www.codeweavers.com/about/blogs/jwhite/2019/12/10/celebrating-the-difficult-the-release-of-crossover-19 https://www.codeweavers.com/about/blogs/jwhite/2019/12/10/ce...
- jacobush 7y agoAllegedly Apple supported Codeweavers a bit.
- zimpenfish 7y agoIs that Wine 5 that won't work on Catalina? Whilst the barest of bare anecdata, I can, e.g., run mineways.exe on Catalina 10.15.3 using wine64 4.0.2 (from homebrew) happily[1]. [1] Ok, you have to cancel the "bogus app move to bin?" prompt for both mineways.exe and vcruntime140_1.dll which is messy but I can live with that for OS emulation.
- koenigdavidmj 7y ago32 bit apps won’t work anymore. 64 are still okay.
- mrpippy 7y agoThis is not accurate. This version of Wine can’t run 32-bit Windows apps on 10.15, but 64-bit apps do run. Also, CodeWeavers CrossOver can run 32 and 64-bit apps on 10.15.
- ReverseCold 7y agoI'll admit this is a very niche usecase, but not even CrossOver runs 16 bit apps anymore (like Minesweeper for Windows 98). Luckily the Windows XP version is basically the same and is 32-bit.
- mschuster91 7y agoMost old games however are 32-bit. Don't have time at the moment to test but I bet I lost UT2004 when I upgraded my Mac to 10.15...
- dkonofalski 7y agoYou definitely did. It's a 16-year old game so it definitely was 32-bit unless someone created a port or an updated .exe using a newer Unreal version.
