Compatibility

Games and apps reported working with Crosswire on Apple Silicon, on macOS 14 Sonoma or later. This is a starting point, not a guarantee — results vary by app version and macOS release. If something works (or doesn't) for you that isn't listed, let us know on GitHub.

Games

Title	Status	Notes
Star Wars Galaxies Legends	Works	The flagship test case — installs from the SWG Legends launcher and Crosswire applies its setup automatically.
Hollow Knight	Works	Runs well. Out of the box.
Celeste	Works	Runs well. Out of the box.
Stardew Valley	Works	Runs well. Use the Windows build from Steam or itch.io.
Undertale	Works	Runs well. Out of the box.
Spelunky HD	Works	Runs well. Out of the box.
Dark Souls III	Tweaks needed	Crosswire sets up graphics and runtimes automatically; if it won’t launch, reinstall so detection runs again.
Elden Ring	Tweaks needed	EAC must be disabled (offline mode); online play is not supported.
Terraria	Tweaks needed	Install xna40 or use the GOG version which bundles its own runtime.
League of Legends	Broken	Vanguard kernel anti-cheat blocks it — no Mac compatibility tool can run this.
Valorant	Broken	Vanguard kernel anti-cheat blocks it — no Mac compatibility tool can run this.

Productivity and utilities

App	Status	Notes
Notepad++	Works	Runs well. No dependencies needed.
7-Zip	Works	Runs well. No dependencies needed.
RetroArch	Works	Runs well. Out of the box.
DOSBox-X	Works	Runs well. Useful for DOS-era software inside Crosswire.
VLC (Windows build)	Works	Runs. Native macOS VLC is a better choice unless you specifically need the Windows build.
Microsoft Office	Tweaks needed	Older versions (2016, 2019) run with dotnet48 and vcrun2019. Microsoft 365 is not supported.

This list is a starting point, not a complete database. Compatibility depends on the specific app version, your macOS version, and the current Crosswire release. When in doubt, try it — installing an app takes about a minute.
