Second, because Porting Kit is not an app from the app store, you have to set in your “preferences —> security and privacy —> general tab” to allow “app store and unidentified developers” this is important, or you will get a message about “Apple cannot check it for malicious software”. Even then when opening the app it might even ask to click “open anyway” on the same general tab of Security and privacy.

Extra steps for Catalina OS 10.15.x
For Catalina OS counts for now (we hope to have this fixed soon), an extra measure. Catalina has tighten up security which make Wine fail to launch. In order to bypass that, SIP (System Integrity Protection) needs to disabled. This SIP thing was was not tightened in Mojave, so although it’s less secure it’s still secure, in matter of speaking. However, if don’t want to disable SIP for some reason for now, then use Crossover instead in the meanwhile, until we fixed it in Porting Kit.

How to disable SIP:
Turn off your Mac (Apple > Shut Down).

Library: The main tab to use! Here you find the game ports database. Search the database for the gameyou want. When you cannot find it use part of the game name. When still not there, then the game is simply not ported yet. In that case request it on the request list in the forum/community tab. We always try to bring as much Windows games to the Mac, so you can play it without needing Windows.

Rankings: Here you find a list of; “Latest ports”, “Most popular ports” and “Highest rated ports”. This is especially handy to see when and which new games have been added.

Community: This links to the Porting Kit forums.

The Game Database!
On the Library tab you will find all the game ports. Search the specific game port and if you cannot find it (always try to search with word parts as well), then you can try making a port yourself using the “New Custom Port” icon and choose an Engine to use. WS11WineCX19.0.1 is the most common one to use (not the 64bit one). An important not is that a custom port of your game is not always working. As mentioned earlier, you can do a request for it on the forums.

For games in the database we offer support. This means, if you run into trouble we will try to help you out. In that case use the forums or contact form to contact us. No assurances of course, because there may be many factors causing the trouble, like old/not powerful videocard, specific 3rd party software installed on the Mac, too less memory, too slow Mac, etc. But in the basis most of the stuff simply works.

Port Database View:

Important in this view to mention is the “source” in the right upper corner. Those sources are tested and available in Porting Kit.We work with 5 Different sources:
1. GOG.com
2. Steam
3. UPlay
4. CD
5. Origin (broken)
6. Other

To be able to play the game you need to own the specific source game. For Steam you need to own the Steam game, for GOG, you need the GOG installer files.

Before you install you first need to read the port description and notes mentioned. This is important, because sometimes it mentions that a powerful Mac is required and if you have a low-end Mac, than the game will not work of course. I will mention below the install instructions for the Steam, GOG.com and the Uplay installations.
