WINE - a self-referencing acronym that stands for “WINE Is Not An Emulator” - is a compatibility layer that provides alternate implementations of the code referenced by Windows applications in order to work. CrossOver is an innovative program that lets you run virtually any Windows games, utility programs and productivity software, among others, all without having to set up and run a Windows emulator. CrossOver Mac makes it easy to launch Windows apps natively from the dock. iLounge has a special deal on the CrossOver for Mac, which allows you to run Windows apps without the need for an emulator.
It works without having Windows installed all together, thanks to the underlying code that powers the software.ĬrossOver Mac is based on the same core technology that powers CodeWeavers’ Linux-based offering - an open-source project called WINE. CrossOver is not like Parallels or VMware emulators, but a Mac cracked app. The presence of an Intel processor inside the Mac forges a close enough resemblance to get Windows and Windows applications to work.Īlthough Boot Camp is free and Parallels Desktop is reasonably priced, both software applications require an expensive copy of Windows in order to work - and that’s the biggest benefit for CrossOver Mac.

its fans by the PPSSPP not only runs on Windows, but also on Mac OS X, Linux.
This wasn’t possible before January, when Macs depended solely on PowerPC-based microprocessors made by IBM and Freescale. PPSSPP Playstation Portable Emulator download requires ROMs to play games. Both Boot Camp and Parallels Desktop work because the new Macs utilize the same microprocessor that’s found in Windows-compatible computer, and CrossOver Mac employs the same basic principle.
