Otherwise, buy a copy of Windows and install it with Bootcamp. So my recommendation is that you try Crossover first. Games will run as well as they would on a PC that shipped with Windows and has similar specs.

There is no software-level virtualization (Parallels/VMware) or incomplete system software (Crossover/WINE). I have used Parallels with Windows 7, and I can get games to run, but it's frustratingly slow most of the time.īoot camp, however, runs Windows natively on your hardware. I have never gotten a game to run on Crossover if it wasn't listed on their site, and I have never gotten a listed game to run well. It may not even load, let alone run in any playable way. If you don't see your game, then you're taking a risk. I know that they have lists of games and their relative compatability on their website. I believe Crossover has a demo so you can make sure your particular program will run well before you decide to buy, but I'm not sure. However, as unreliable as virtual machines can be for games, Crossover and WINE are even more unreliable.

You can get WINE for Mac OS, but Crossover includes lots of Mac-specific upgrades and lots of game-specific hacks to ensure functionality. Neither Crossover nor WINE require a copy of Windows-indeed that is their entire reason to be, running Windows software without running Windows.

Bootcamp will require a copy of Windows, as will virtual machines like Parallels and VMware Fusion.Ĭrossover Games is a version of WINE for Linux that is highly customized for running games for Windows on Mac OS X.
