PlayOnMac 2021 full offline installer setup for Mac

PlayOnMac is a highly useful gaming application for all macOS 10.6+ users that a allows installation and running of Windows games and apps via the use of the optimized Wine compatibility layer software. IT represents one of the best ways you can unleash the power of your hardware and gain access to a wide array of popular gaming content, both at home and on the go. To make gaming on Mac streamlined and easy, you will not need to do any complicated procedures that other gaming solutions require (such as partitioning drive and side-loading entire Windows OS). Instead of that, you can continue using your Mac OS and simply emulate on the fly the specific games inside a dedicated virtualization software layer. You don’t even to restart your computer, or even to acquire a Windows license.

Installation and Use

Since the PlayOnMac requires the use of highly-capable, optimized and reliable virtualization software, it comes in a fairly substantial installation package that is larger than 150MB. Once installed (by simply dragging and dropping it into your Application folder) you can take full control over the emulated windows environment powered by Wine. It supports emulation of the wide array of Windows OS software arranged in several popular categories (including various system utility categories, productivity apps, audio/video software, educational software, and of course a very wide array of gaming titles), but the developers of the app strongly suggest that you visit the official Wine website where you can learn more about compatible software. It is important to note that PlayOnMac will enable emulated software to link with your current internet connection, giving you the opportunity to enjoy online multiplayer modes in all of its supported gaming titles (including supported MMO games).

The user interface of Play On Mac is simple to use on its surface, but it supports a wide array of customization options if you enter into its menus. The main screen features the list of the installed software (by default it comes with a free version of Microsoft Spider Solitare card game), main tools for controlling emulation of software (Run, Close, Install, Remove and Configure) and action bar that you can use to manage emulated software.

The main Configuration screen offers separate settings for each installed software package, with tabs such as General, Wine, Install Components, Display and Miscellaneous. Components section is a very useful addition, enabling you to in just a few clicks install many useful components of the Windows OS (such as DirectX packages and others) that are crucial for running of video games.

Highlights and Features

• Fast and reliable Windows OS emulation for macOS users.
• Broad compatibility with a wide array of Windows video games.
• Full support for 3D rendering and networking features.
• Take advantage of Windows productivity apps on Mac.
• Easily browse and manage the list of installed Windows software.
• Optimized for use by novices.
• Mac OS X 10.6 or later (Intel only)
• 100% Free!

Phoenicis PlayOnLinux 5.0 — Alpha 2

Tuesday 1 January 2019 at 12:05

We wish a happy and successful year! For this first day of 2019, we are glad to release the second alpha version of Phoenicis PlayOnLinux 5.

A new wine builder

We have rewritten from scratch our winebuild platform. To make it short, it is more reliable, more transparent, easier to setup and cross-platform compatible. Any project that needs to use wine could now potentially use it and take advantage of the 1828 different builds. (We admit that some of them are outdated, though).

The winebuild project is open source, uses containers. You can install it on your machine in no time if you want to build wine by yourself.

Support of new wine distributions

Speaking about wine builds, we now support 4 wine distributions:

• Upstream wine builds are vanilla and unmodified wine (1)
• Staging wine builds are the wine builds patched by wine-staging
• Dos support wine builds contains wine and dosbox. (See the next feature)
• CX contains a wine version patched by codeweavers

We plan to support proton in the next weeks.

All these wine build can be compiled directly through https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis-winebuild/.

(1) Except the very old versions that have a specific suffix is their names, like 1.5.3-heap_allocation_v2-avoid_deadlock, but we are going to move them anyway.

DOS Support

Winebuild now provides dos_support distribution. The way these wine binaries works is very simple: Wine launch script has been modified to detect if the given .exe is Win32 or a DOS executable. If it is a DOS executable, it will set-up a dosbox configuration that will behave consistenly with wine:

• mount drive_c as C: on dosbox
• if a autoexec.bat file exists inside the prefix, it will run it
• support of custom DOS configuration per prefix
• .

The script framework has also been modified so that you can tweak some dosbox settings directly from a script. Here is an exemple of «advanced» script

GoG support

We’ve added a way to add a web browser view directly inside script wizards. Thanks to this feature, scripts can now authenticate to any website.

Phoenicis can automatically download and install GoG games from your account, as POLv4 used to do during the past years.

Also, we have made a script pattern for all GoG games: it has drastically simplified them from POLv4. The script are so much easier that we believe that they will be a lot more maintained.

POLv5 script

POLv4 script

We are planning to add tons of GoG games in the library so stay tuned!

Installation of verbs directly inside a container

You can now install verbs directly from a wine container.

Standalone packages

• We are now providing standalone packages that can work on any distribution without the need to install JDK runtime. These packages also remove all the feature that we don’t need from the JDK. In the future, there will be probably two sorts of packages, but we want to make things easier for you for now.
• We now provide macOS packages
• We also support flatpak

I’d like to thank once again all the developers that helped us during the past weeks, plata, madoar, and also all those of you that contributed by reporting bugs, suggesting improvements, or tested phoenicis-winebuild.

Our next goals is to focus on prefix management (change of wine version inside a prefix, add debugging tools, etc. ) and performance optimization.

If you have any suggestion or encounter any bug, we encourage you to come in our Github page: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/. This version is still at alpha-stage, so please be indulgent.

I also take the opportunity of this news to also announce you that PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac 4.3.4 has been released. They have been updated to support the new winebuild system, and the different windows of the application have been made resizable. It should fix the HDPI issues some of you were encoutering. We continue to maintain these versions until you are 100% satisfied with POLv5

Download packages:

• Linux standalone .tar.gz:http://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnLinux/5.0-alpha-2/Phoenicis_5.0-alpha-2-amd64.tar.gz
• Linux standalone .deb:http://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnLinux/5.0-alpha-2/Phoenicis_5.0-alpha-2-amd64.deb
• macOS .dmg:http://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnMac/PlayOnMac_5.0-alpha-2.dmg

Stay tuned, the best is yet to come!

Winebuild update

Tuesday 27 November 2018 at 0:16

Just a short news to announce that we have updated our wine build environement. If you are experiencing issues with our current wine builds (freetype problems, windows too small, . ), this piece of information may interest you.

Pursuing the work concerning the decentralization of our services, we have released a tool than can compile any version of wine directly on your computer or on your server: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis-winebuild

What are the advantage of this new tool?

• You can easily use this tool to compile wine from and for any OS (linux and macOS are supported so far, but we also plan to support freebsd).
• We continue to host wine binaries but in a more standard format than before (.tar.gz archives instead of .pol files).
• We now provide JSON web services in case you want to have access to the list of the builds:
  • https://phoenicis.playonlinux.com/index.php/wine?os=linux
  • https://phoenicis.playonlinux.com/index.php/wine?os=darwin
• You can track on wine building status: https://www.playonlinux.com/wine/. A JSON web service is also being released.
• Linux users: Full wine staging support (GTK 3.0 is now fully supported for example)
• OSX users: 64bit builds are now fully operational.

So what do I have to do if I have problems with the old builds?

Because they are compiled with more up-to-date dependencies, we are expecting the new builds to work better on recent distributions. This should fix most of the problems that you have reported to us recently.

However, we are rebuilding the old packages one by one and it takes time. We advise you to follow the build status here to ensure that the versions you are using are rebuilt: https://www.playonlinux.com/wine/. Then, uninstall your current wine versions from POL and reinstalling them should fix the problem you are encoutering.

As you may have noticed, POL / POM 4 have already been updated to use this new format. If you are using 4.3+, you are good to go

Roadmap

• We plan to mirror all the builds in / near the United States
• We will probably provide a web interface so that you can request for custom builds with custom patches. This web interface shall be open source so that you can host it where you want.

Release of PlayOnLinux 5.0 alpha 1

Sunday 23 September 2018 at 21:48

I’m aware that it has been a while since the last time we gave news to you. Be reassured, the project is moving on and here we are to give you some news.

Today, I am very proud to announce that we have managed to release the alpha version of PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac 5 (aka Phoenicis). I would like to give my special thanks to those who have continued the work I started few years ago: @plata and @madoar, and many others.

So, what’s new?

In one word: everything. First, the interface has been completely redesigned:

Phoenicis is a completely rewritten piece of software that aims to bring you all the features of PlayOnLinux 3 and 4 (a.k.a Arietis) with new principles:

• The platform is decentralized, meaning that the program will continue working if our website encounters problems. We have chosen to store the scripts on a git repository (https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/scripts) so that it becomes more respectful of open source principles.
• The script engine is an important ingredient that made PlayOnLinux so successful in the past. This is why we want to improve it. We need it to be more accessible to everyone. For that matter, it has been completely redesigned. We decided to get rid of bash in favor of Javascript.

This alpha version respects theses principles and supports about 135 games and many other apps. You can see the whole list here: https://www.phoenicis.org/apps

Get involved

We need to go further and find a way to gather your feedback. This is the reason why we are releasing an alpha-test version of Phoencis.

• If you encounter any issue or want to share an idea to improve the app, you can use our GitHub page: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis/issues
• If you want to improve Phoencis, feel free to fork the repository and send your pull requet
• If you want to add / update a script, you can check this repository: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/scripts. If you need, you can even create your own script repository.
• If you want to help us translate Phoencis, we are using crowdin: https://crowdin.com/project/phoenicis

What’s next?

The project is far from being finished. Our next steps are to develop a strong Wine build platform using modern virtualization and/or containerization solutions. Then, we will make a new website (hosted at: http://www.phoenicis.org) so that we can continue giving you the best support we can.

Feel free to send feedbacks and see you soon
