Wineskin Pro 2.0 With OS X 10.7 Lion Support

Tuesday, April 5, 2011 7:49 AM

Wineskin is a tool used to make wrappers to run Windows software on Mac OS X. The wrappers are in the form of a normal Mac Application, which can be double clicked and ran just like its native. They can also be used to make a distributable port of software. You do not need the Windows program’s source code, you can attempt to port any program you want.

With Wineskin Pro you will receive basic support for installing and configuring the Wineskin Application. We will also answer questions about installing engines and configuring wrappers, and in the near future provide custom engines that have been tested to work with today’s most popular Games.

Unlike other solutions you can have multiple engines (Wine versions) installed at one time, so if your favorite game runs in that engine you don’t have to worry about it breaking in a future Wine release.

The Bordeaux Technology Group released Wineskin Pro 2.0. Wineskin Pro 2.0 is initial release of Wineskin for Intel based Mac computers. This release has a custom built Xquartz X11 server that Microsoft Windows Games require to run in full screen mode.

Wineskin Pro 2.0 will run on any Intel Mac computer with OS X 10.5 or higher installed. This released has also been tested on the upcoming OS X 10.7 Lion release.

Version 2.0 New Features:

Initial Public Release
Custom built Xquartz X11 server

The cost of Wineskin Pro 2.0 is $29.95 and comes with six months of upgrades and support.
