InstallAware Software has published an open source GUI to automate all of the command line chores involved in getting Apple's Game Porting Toolkit up and running:
https://github.com/installaware/AGPT
Features:
- Uninstalls Homebrew for Apple Silicon if it is already present (as mandated by the Apple Game Porting Toolkit)
- Installs Homebrew x86_64
- Installs Wine
- Configures Wine settings for Windows
- (optional) Copies over Apple Game Porting Toolkit binaries to accelerate DirectX 12 games running on Apple Silicon when the DMG download from Apple Developer is locally available
- (optional) Installs the manually supplied version of Xcode Command Line Tools when the DMG download from Apple Developer is locally available (Xcode Command Line Tools are automatically set up by Homebrew unless you're running macOS Sonoma)
- Installs arbitrary Windows software, including games
- Runs previously installed Windows Software, including Wine supplied default tools (File Manager, Registry Editor, "reboot" tool, App Uninstaller, Task Manager, Notepad, Wordpad, Internet Browser); supports passing custom command line parameters to launched apps
- Does not require macOS Sonoma or Apple Silicon
- Supports Apple Intel hardware and earlier macOS versions through standard Wine functionality (running 3D games at high performance using your non-Apple Silicon embedded/dedicated GPUs)
In addition to locally downloading and building the sources yourself using the repository above (and creating your own forks), you may also download a pre-built DMG, notarized by Apple and thus safe and free of security limitations - providing you with a single-click experience to run any Windows software on your Mac today:
