![]() Imagine - a 32-bit Windows Intel binary, running in a 32-to-64 bridge in Wine/CrossOver on top of macOS, on an ARM CPU that is emulating x86 - and it works!” Here’s a quick video of Team Fortress 2 running on Crossover on an M1 MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM and 256GB flash storage. “There is so much emulation going on under the covers. This greatly raises Linux marketshare, drawing more commercial and community developers to Linux. “I can’t tell you how cool that is,” White write on the blog post. Wine increases the usefulness of Linux, makes it easier for users to switch to free operating systems, and for Windows developers to make applications that work on them. They’re currently putting together a list of Windows apps that work. ![]() Apple’s official logo for its Rosetta 2 technology in macOS Big SurĬodeWeaver’s Jeremy White explained in a blog post that they were able to fire up CrossOver and install and run a wide range of Windows applications after installing the beta version of Big Sur 11.1. Unlike other virtualization solutions that require a full Windows install, CrossOver does not require an entire Windows install to run Windows apps and games. That’s right, they were able to make Win32/64 on WINE run on top of Apple’s Rosetta technology. ![]() While key virtualization software companies like Parallels, WMware and Docker are developing solutions that will permit users to run Windows software on Apple Silicon Macs, developer CodeWeavers has said that its CrossOver software is already capable of running Windows apps and games on the new M1-powered MacBook Air, Mac mini and 13-inch MacBook Pro.Īccording to CodeWeavers developer Brendan Shanks, their CrossOver and Wine solution can now run 32-bit and 64-bit Windows apps and games on the new Apple Silicon Macs. ![]()
