CrossOver (software)

This compatibility layer enables many Windows-based applications to run on Linux operating systems, macOS, or ChromeOS.

CodeWeavers modifies the Wine source code, applies compatibility patches, adds configuration tools that are more user-friendly, automated installation scripts, and provides technical support.

It aims to properly integrate with the GNOME and KDE desktop environments so that Windows applications will run seamlessly on Linux distributions.

[5] The technique, known as "wine32on64", requires using modified LLVM to build additional thunk code that allows running 32-bit programs in a 64-bit wine.

[8][9] In September 2023, CodeWeavers released version 23.5 of Crossover which supports D3DMetal from the Game Porting Toolkit as well as the GStreamer media framework.

[16] The expectation was that it would update on a weekly to monthly schedule in order to incorporate the latest Wine programming work being accepted.

CrossOver Games wasn't able to release updates with enough frequency to justify its separate production track and was discontinued in 2012.
