Transgaming or Crossover Mac?
Transgaming flagged for their new cross-platform gaming library, Cider at the beginning of August. Cider is a “portability engine” that developers can leverage to draft games originally written for Microsoft Windows on the Mac.
Cider is not an emulator, but instead an implementation of optimized Win32 API’s. Since it is already running in an Intel chip, there is no translation happening, and so performance could prove to be close to what it was on the original platform.
In the same mode, CodeWeavers are working on a similar product: CrossMac. CrossMac is a fork of the WINE project which strives to give Mac users the possibility to run Windows applications natively on their Intel Macs. The difference from Cider is that this is a client-space application, so it can be used with any Windows application, whereas Cider has to be used by the developers prior to release.
