    You will need to install homebrew. ARM users will also need Rosetta (I think), but homebrew should be the native version. Next we need wine that can run 32 bit binaries: brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wine-crossover.

    The standard Wine package also stopped working with the Catalina update. To get around this, we'll use a specific version of Wine, developed by Gcenx, made for MacOS 10.15+. To install it, you first need to install Homebrew. To do this, open the application Terminal (the easiest way to do this is hit Cmd + Space, then type "Terminal", then hit return), type in the following command, and hit return:

    Crossover from Codeweavers (which is a version of WINE) runs 32-bit applications on post-Mojave MacOS with a 32->64-bit conversion layer and one of the free/open-source versions of WINE based on the code donated by Codeweavers (located here: https://github.com/Gcenx/homebrew-wine) does the same thing.

    Ah, sorry, I assumed from you mentioning installing Wine that you had Homebrew already. Yeah, you need to install Homebrew, there's a command to copy on its website. Once that's done, you need to run the command on the page I linked above to install the fixed version of Wine. After that completes, you should be able to just run the exe (it may prompt you for permission to access a folder or two first), or if not it'll probably ask you to pick which app to use if you try (in which case you can just select Wine Crossover from the list it presents).

    I would recommend using the AppleGamingWiki since it is more frequently updated and unlike AppleSiliconGames (I think), it can be edited by anyone. Also, check out the CrossOver compatibility database here: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility, State of Mac here: https://www.stateofmac.com/ and also consider joining the AppleGamingWiki server here: https://discord.com/invite/28CAAr6SpB and the MAC Gaming server here: https://discord.gg/kv9k7SvC8X (I'm one of the mods there, so if you want help just ask). If you're wanting visual tests check out the AppleGamingWiki YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkyz_xnHUX9ua7OJobIP0ng or the MAC Gaming YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXTo-ML-2AhN9MK4uBTVBGg. Hope this helps.
