About myself

About Myself:

Ermm… Maybe something nice to start with: I am Paul The Tall. Why? Well, because I am quite tall (2.04 Meter). Why I started this website? I have been using an iMac for nearly 2 years and I noticed that there is something really missing, “Games”! Almost nothing! And if there are any, they are very expensive! This prevents people from switching completely to Mac OS X. So I went on an epic adventure for alternatives, what I found was not very satisfying; Bootcamp (Windows on a second partition), Virtual Machines….. But finally I stranded at “Wine” which led me to “Crossover”(made by Codeweavers). I really liked the program and wanted to learn more. I became an “advocate” for Codeweavers, I did some work for them and in return I was granted full operability over the program. I tested loads of PC games and software. After a lot of late coffee nights working and testing , I became a topadvocate with lots of experience making PC games work under Wine. After a while I bumped to some things what bothered me a bit. I wanted to start the games independently (as an Application). Besides that I wanted to choose the Wine-version which suited the best for the certain games. Then I found Wineskin… The “Enlightenment” for all my porting needs. My experience and Wineskin gave me the idea to make this website to help other people to make their favorite PC games work on their Mac.

I hope people will enjoy their Mac more.

  1. I’m using PortingKit to play Path of Exile 2 on my Mac and it’s working amazingly. You have my thanks.

  2. Dear Paul,
    Thank you very much for this amazing work!
    Has been a years long dream to play a beautiful old classic (Shadowrun) again on Mac. I’m not a tech guy (nor a gamer) – so no virtual machines, etc. You truly made it accessible for everyone. And all his work for free – in a €€€-world…
    Some of the coffees are on me (via PP) ;-).
    Thanks again & all the best,
    Julian
