If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked 19 alternatives to Wine and 13 are available for Mac so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Other interesting Mac alternatives to Wine are Proton (Free, Open Source), CrossOver (Paid), Parallels Desktop (Freemium) and VMware Fusion (Paid). Nov 24, 2015 Wine vs. WineBottler vs. What's the difference? I've been using them for years, I still can't figure out the difference. Looking for a quick and painless way to run.exe's on OSX Mavericks 10.9.5. You won't find this with Wine or any of its permutations. The biggest problem is that they won't reliably work for all Windows apps. We contribute all of our work on Wine back to the Wine Project. In fact, CodeWeavers developers make up for 2/3 of the Wine commits. The majority of the development we do goes into Wine first, before it becomes part of our commercial product CrossOver. You can support the Wine Project by purchasing CrossOver or donating directly to the WineHQ.

I'm thinking about using Linux and this would be a huge step in the right direction. Since it's FREE. I JUST decided to get Linux working and I'll have to say that it's FAR FAR FAR Superior to Wine from www.winehq.org Infact, there's no competition between the two. CodeWeaver's Crossover really works wonders and I have to say it is hands down the best way to get practically any windows application to work on Mac/Linux. Not to mention that not only do you get the application for free thanks to Bush, you get free Tech Support! _________________ Yami no Tenshi 闇の天使 |

THIS IS WINE oh yea, it's not gonna run SS just like that. You will need to do some tweaking to make SS work Well, It'll get the job done whether there's tweaking required or not. I can't really download anything but a free trial at the moment, however I'll be sure to shove your words right back in your mouth if this works without doing some tweaking because i'm getting tired of your negativity on my threads. EDIT: Choosing the right Wine-based solution If you decide to go the Wine route, then you have another choice to make. Wine is an open-source technology, and can be downloaded for free from WineHQ.org. Or, you can purchase a commercialized, supported version of Wine from CodeWeavers. Both types have many similarities. This isn't surprising, since CodeWeavers is the largest corporate sponsor of the Wine Project, and is constantly sharing code updates with the Project. However, there are also some important differences between the two, which are described below: Free Wine Comes with one-click installation No. Comes with graphical installer for Windows applications No. Comes with Bottles (portable virtual Windows environments)? No. Seamlessly integrates with your desktop environment No. Is consistently tested against supported application set No Comes with product support, The volunteers on the public forums do their best, but... No Price $0, and a lot of your time CrossOver Comes with one-click installation Yes Comes with graphical installer for Windows applications Yes Comes with Bottles (portable virtual Windows environments)? Yes Seamlessly integrates with your desktop environment Yes Is consistently tested against supported application set Yes Comes with product support Yes Price $39.95 - $69.95 Here's a link to CrossOver vs Wine Benchmarks just to illustrate a point. http://www.wine-reviews.net/cxgames-lin ... -0958.html _________________ Yami no Tenshi 闇の天使 |

A different point I'd like to make.. Why would you run something like Wine when you can get a commercialized version for Free that offers technical support, guarantees support for applications, and has many many many improvements over the Open-Source version because it's commercialized. It's like choosing to run Open Office when you can run Microsoft Office legally FOR FREE! _________________ Yami no Tenshi 闇の天使 |

I said I USE THIS TO PLAY SS. I took this thing apart on OS X. I sat a whole day in irc talking to it's Devs. It's basically wine in a shell that installs easier and may have easier tweaking options... hell if you run a window it will spell WINE in damn bar. Anyway, once you start tweaking your bottle settings it's all wine... Also, there is no way to run SS without mircosoft's dinput8.dll And microsoft office is pornography. It's not even compatible with itself. Not to mention excel still LIES, some calculations don't work. And if you want to get anything usable out of a *.doc file you need to jump though hoops to clean out all the shit you get along with the text you need. Also, to illustrate MY point: crossover on mac PS. I have been using crossover since version 5 and I know exactly what it is and how it works so if you really wanna argue with me then go right ahead. oh yea, almost forgot: thread I made a month ago _________________ In ss we fill breast implants with sand because we are to cheap to purchase silicone.

It's not even compatible with itself. Now can we please get something constructive going? I'm not a huge fan of how we get an argument every single time you post in my thread, and i'm pretty sure neither are the people that are reading it. Maybe something along the lines of 'CrossOver is good stuff and it's actually being offered for free now! Wow, Thanks for the post because I've been using it since version 5 and paying for it, but now maybe I can put this $ towards something constructive' _________________ Yami no Tenshi 闇の天使 |

Crossover is just a user friendly shell for the wine engine. And yea completely agreed it works. It has some bugs though. A few minor ones, a few irritating ones... But the FPS is constant. Even in systems full of slaves and shit it doesn't lag. In fact only time I had the well-known SS lag cause of effects was around larry when he shot his rad cone. That thing is horribly man. Also, it makes some effects look nicer actually. Cleaner... and those little gay butterflies in lunacy no longer lag you with their engine trails. _________________ In ss we fill breast implants with sand because we are to cheap to purchase silicone.

I understand that it's Wine, but as mentioned it's a commercialized version so there's more support for it, it has people working on the coding, and it's more tweaked than the open source version because it's commercialized, and because of this it works better than Wine in most cases as the benchmark http://www.wine-reviews.net/cxgames-lin ... -0958.html illustrates. SS does lag because of effects, although i've yet to see a Rad Cone even once currently, but so far my computer has dealt with most effects while maintaining a steady Max FPS so we'll see how this turns out. Glad to know we can finally agree on something _________________ Yami no Tenshi 闇の天使 |

Just for giggles, would it be possible to load Linux on a second hard drive and stick it in next to the windows? Last edited by Visorak on Tue Oct 28, 2008 1:56 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

You can duel boot windows and linux depending on the flavor on the same hard drive you can also test a version of unix by using knoppix which is available at knopper.net if I remember right. _________________ I think I need a bigger thatch |

Hmmmm.. without specifically quoting any of the above: I installed wine with no problems on ubuntu. I installed SS using the wine installer by double clicking on the desktop. The one tweak I needed to make originally was the dinput.dll fix. I can run SS 3 times on three different desktops (on one computer) with only slight lag. 'two boxing' for no lag at all. Only issue I've never got around to fixing on my wine version is when some popup boxus will appear 'behind' the main window, and lock up the interface. This hasn't caused me deaths yet, but came close to triggering a GSA once. No need for additional wrap programs to slow my experience down. |
