All this talk of Wine made me want to try it out again. Last I played with Wine was at least a couple of years ago...
So, if you want to go the DIY route, I suggest you try Wineskin. This tool lets you build your own Mac "Foo.app" executables from Windows apps. It's pretty easy, too. I just tried it on a
freeware top-down shooter, and it worked like a charm. The music stutters occasionally, but otherwise the game is fast and smooth (it even properly trigger fullscreen mode). I also tried it on the
No$GBA emulator. It also seems to be working great, except for some minor audio crackling, but all GBA emulators I've played (even natively) seem to have that problem.
...I swear this game was
made for me...
Next up, I'm going to try GTA2 since that's a free download...
