CrossOver Games

Friday, 18 April 2008

Jeremy White from CodeWeavers has made the announcement that an experimental build of CrossOver Games is now available for PC-BSD users. This unsupported edition will allow users to test out playing Windows games on their PC-BSD desktop. At this time Wine support for BSD is greatly improved from where it once was, although more porting still needs to be done.

Jeremy has also issued a challenge to the BSD community to show their support for this release by signing up with CodeWeavers, and voting for BSD support as a requested feature.

Update:

Some users have asked if this version will run on FreeBSD. Since PC-BSD is not a fork, the answer is yes, it will run on FreeBSD as well. The only caveat is that if you are on FreeBSD 6.x, you will need to apply a system patch from http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine to enable wine to function properly. Users of FreeBSD 7.0 and higher do not need this patch.
