macOS_Wine_builds VS UTM

Hi, I followed this guide of u/Gcenx https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer/issues/420 and applied on wine 8.10 staging (this version https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases/tag/8.10) but it seems like it doesn't work I always get a stub error. My question is: I need to do something else or D3DMetal simply doesn't work on newer wine version

The new Winehq macOS packages can be found https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases these will work on macOS High Sierra (10.13) and later.

Not sure where you got your wine binaries from, but wine-staging from this brew tap has the fix.

Gcenx maintains macOS builds of Wine that are as close to WineHQ releases as possible alongside other versions. https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds They do work on Ventura although I believe 32-bit apps are still not working at the moment.

Depending on if you have an Intel Mac or an M1 Mac, you have some different options! If you have an M1 Mac, you could try using Wine/Wineskin Winery. You could also try something like UTM, but it's probably going to be very slow. If you find some of these games as old Mac games instead of old Windows games, you might also be able to get them running through SheepShaver or BasiliskII. If you're on an Intel Mac, your two best bets are VirtualBox or maybe, like, Windows 10 on Boot Camp.

u/gcenx maintains newer builds from macOS on GitHub. 64-bit Wine 7.x is also available from nixpkgs (32-bit support won’t be available until it’s possible to build WoW64 on Darwin).

There are builds of wine 7 you can get through brew, but I think it's maybe an uphill battle: https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds

Actually the current macOS packages are not being pushed to Winehq directly due to an unresolved bug, they can be found https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds

If you want wine-7.0 I’ve provided a package that will function https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases/download/7.0/wine-stable-legacy-7.0-osx64.tar.xz.

If you have TrollStore then install the HV version of UTM to try for yourself: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/releases/latest/download/UTM.HV.ipa

Researching a little showed that this is basically what can be expected running x86 emulation and the systems will just be wonky and slow, although it was running flawlessly, just slow.

There seem to be ways to use Rosetta2 inside a VM [0] to then translate binaries but I found no official support or documentation (using UTM+QEMU that was), this would be such a cool feature, at least there are discussions about it [1,2]

UTM is open source too though: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM#license

UTM makes it easy to set up and manage macOS and Windows virtual machines. This can be especially useful for developers such as Tauri contributors who need to test their applications across multiple platforms, or for those looking to experiment with different operating systems without affecting their primary system.

If you don't need high performance and want to use the OS only occasionally, check UTM.app, at https://mac.getutm.app/ (or https://github.com/utmapp/UTM ). Free, open source.
