About: PlayOnMac

An Entity of Type: anatomical structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

PlayOnMac is a free compatibility layer and emulator for macOS that allows installation and usage of video games and other software initially designed to run exclusively on Microsoft Windows. PlayOnMac is based on the open-source Wine project and therefore creates and uses virtual drives much like Wineskin wrappers (the virtual drives are essentially Wineskin wrappers operating on a particular version of Wine). As with Wine, the use of PlayOnMac does not require nor use a Windows license.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • PlayOnMac is a free compatibility layer and emulator for macOS that allows installation and usage of video games and other software initially designed to run exclusively on Microsoft Windows. PlayOnMac is based on the open-source Wine project and therefore creates and uses virtual drives much like Wineskin wrappers (the virtual drives are essentially Wineskin wrappers operating on a particular version of Wine). Furthermore, it uses an online database of installers (called scripts) that are applied to different applications that need special configuration. The scripts act as installers for the desired software. If the video game or software that must be installed is not in the online database of PlayOnMac, a manual installation can be performed but the positive result cannot be guaranteed. Aside from video games, any other program can be installed and each one is put in a different container to prevent interference of one program with another. Therefore, PlayOnMac allows users to install some of the most popular Windows programs and many video games as well. As with Wine, the use of PlayOnMac does not require nor use a Windows license. Lastly, PlayOnMac has been developed using a combination of two programming languages, more specifically Bash and Python. In addition, it also uses the wrapper/toolkit wxPython. (en)
  • PlayOnMac est un logiciel qui permet une installation simple et rapide sous Mac OS X de divers jeux et logiciels conçus pour Windows à l'aide du logiciel Wine. Il n'est pas nécessaire de posséder une licence Microsoft Windows pour utiliser PlayOnMac. (fr)
  • PlayOnMac是一個讓macOS可以安裝並使用Microsoft Windows上的電子遊戲與應用程式的自由兼容层。其基於開放原始碼的Wine專案。 這個軟體使用了線上的安裝程式(稱為指令稿)資料庫,其中包含了不同應用程式所需的特殊設定。這些指令稿的運作方式就像是需要的軟體的安裝程式一樣運作。若遊戲或軟體不在資料庫中,也可以手動安裝,但結果就無法保證。除了遊戲以外,其他任何應用程式也都可以被安裝到不同的容器中以避免干擾其他的應用程式。PlayOnMac讓使用者可以安裝一些較流行的Windows應用程式與許多的遊戲。 就像Wine一樣,使用PlayOnMac不需要有Windows的許可證。 PlayOnMac使用bash與Python的組合來開發,並使用如wxPython的工具箱來開發。 (zh)
