    What is Porting Kit?

    Using Wineskin technology, Porting Kit is a PaulTheTall.com app that can install games and apps compiled for Microsoft Windows® in Mac OS X. It has access to a server where we store WSI files for more than 300 games, which can be installed by any Porting Kit user.

    Each graphic card has different performances, so users can rate ports, telling if a port works in NVIDIA, Intel HD, Intel Iris or ATI/AMD. The latests ports, the most downloaded ones and the ones with the best ratings are showed in three Top 10's on Porting Kit's Ranking tab.

    Play and manage all your games (ports or not) throw Porting Kit local tab, uniting them in a single place. Found a bug? Want to make a game request? Don't know how to do something? Ask in our Forum and let every Porting Kit user help you. You can also send a mail throw the website or throw the app.

    Good gaming!

    Very user friendly interface for Wine that uses the power of community to support a really huge amount of games through hand-made (so to speak) packages.

    I've just tested it by installing my first game with it: Thief Gold. I found a package with a quick search, and it apparently guessed itself, that I had the .exe file from gog.com in my download folder, so I just clicked install and followed the steps – as easy as it gets.

    It (attempted) to install the Wine port of Visual C++ 2008 during the proces, but it resulted in an error (at least I think that was where the error message came from). Nonetheless the main installer finished successfully, and the game works flawlessly so far, both cutscenes and gameplay, no lag either. I've only just started it though.

    Notice that I haven't tried making my own packages, so don't know how well that works.

    I'd give it 4,5 stars or so, because of the weird error, but since that's not an option, and it works and has a smooth interface, it gets 5 :)
