  • macOS Wine Builds: https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds (You can install these with Homebrew or just by downloading the releases)

  • UTM

  • em-dosbox

    An Emscripten port of DOSBox

  • You could also try out DOSBox for older games here: https://www.dosbox.com/

  • StateofMac

    State of Mac is the easiest way to know if your favorite game runs on Apple silicon and find the best way to run that game. Also, you can collaborate with State of Mac by adding your own experience running a game on Apple silicon.

  • 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.
