There comes a time in every alternative OS user's life when they decide they'd actually like to use a program that typically runs on Microsoft Windows. Typically, on Linux, it's around day one. It happens less often (in my experience) as a Mac user, but eventually some tantalizing gaming experience or obscure utility will call across the void, and there's no way your 128GB SSD has enough room for a Boot Camp copy of Windows. And that's when Wine pops into memory: the 23-year project to run Windows applications on Linux, Mac, and other Unix-like operating systems. In my experience, it almost never works, but it often almost works, which is still impressive. Wine is an open source program for running Windows software on non-Windows operating systems. While it’s most often used on Linux, Wine can run Windows software directly on a Mac, too–without requiring a Windows license or needing Windows running in the background. Mar 2, 2012 - Hold down Command+Option+Shift+Escape for a second or two until the app forcibly closes. Be sure to do this while the app you want to force quit is the foremost application on the Mac, as it will force quit whatever is active when held down. 'Wine,' which stands for 'Wine Is Not an Emulator,' acts as a substitute for Windows. Where an application expects Windows to provide or service or resource, or respond to commands, Wine steps in and attempts to do the job. It's a quixotic effort, both because Windows is so large and complicated, and because it's a moving target. Now, which is a huge milestone for the project. It has more support for more software, includes a lot of graphics speedups, and even supports retina displays on Mac. The is indeed impressive — the latest and greatest apps are rarely supported, but many relatively recent 'classics' like Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, and Office 2013 are supposedly operational. The last time I tried to use Wine was to play Path of Exile on my MacBook Air, which barely worked. I ended up buying an external hard drive and putting Windows on that. More recently, I just have a Windows desktop for when the gaming itch hits me. But the next time I'm stuck in an alternate OS wasteland, I'll probably give Wine another shot. Maybe it will all work out this time. Wineskin Manual|| Section 4 - Using Wineskin.app 4.6 Advanced - Options Always Make Log Files - Normally log files are only kept when doing a 'Test Run' but this will make it keep logs all the time. This can cause problems with override->fullscreen not changing resolutions, and for very busy log games it can slow down performance a lot. Map User Mac OS X Folders - This will link what the Windows program sees as user folders over to their Mac OS X equivalents for the current user on every run. If you uncheck this, these folders will have data stored directly inside the wrapper’s drive_c instead of being linked. When checked you can click Modify Mappings to control where they are linked to on the local machine Emulate three button mouse - Alt+Click will be a middle mouse click and Cmd+Click will be a right click. This will prevent games from using these same key combos if they use them, so be warned Option key works as Alt - If you need your Option/Alt key to work as an Alt key in the Windows program, this needs to be checked. If you need it to work as an Opt key in Mac OS X, then this needs to be unchecked. It cannot do both. Focus Follows Mouse - The Mouse pointer will grab automatically change focus to a new window inisde this one app if you mouse over it, instead of having to click a window to get focus, then clicking to do something.
