One Set Up Everything button installs and configures Wine Staging, DXVK, MoltenVK and Steam, and Apple's Game Porting Toolkit 3 is one more click away. There's no Terminal and no Windows licence to buy. You sign in to your own Steam account and download your own library. Smart Play keeps a verified profile for each title and matches it to a ready-made runtime on the Bottle Shelf (DXVK, WineD3D, VKD3D, DXMT, GPTK or native macOS), and you can always pick a different one. Games that ship a real Mac version run natively instead. Beyond Steam, Bourbon reaches Epic, GOG, Amazon and Ubisoft through Heroic and runs any .exe or .msi you download. Recent builds also put Windows games into the native Mac Steam library, add a Smart Play Analyzer that checks a game's files to work out which technology it needs, and add a controller-friendly Couch Mode. The same app runs Android with the Google Play Store on seven device types (still marked experimental), installs console emulators that show your own ROMs with their proper titles and box art, and opens cloud and remote play: Xbox Cloud, GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna, Boosteroid, Moonlight and PlayStation Remote Play. Bourbon 26 is $29.99 once, with a 24-hour trial. Not every game runs; titles with kernel-level anti-cheat generally won't, so check the compatibility list first. It needs an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer) and macOS 14 Sonoma or later.","requirements":"Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer), macOS 14 Sonoma or later, an administrator account and internet for first-time setup, and disk space for Steam and your games","features":["Set Up Everything installs Wine, DXVK, MoltenVK and Steam; GPTK 3 is one more click","Smart Play: a verified profile per game picks the bottle, renderer and fixes","Steam, plus Epic, GOG, Amazon and Ubisoft via Heroic","Windows games in the native Mac Steam library, with a controller Couch Mode","Run any Windows .exe or .msi, or choose Open With → Bourbon in Finder","Android with Google Play on seven device types (experimental)","Console emulators with your own ROMs, proper titles and box art","Xbox Cloud, GeForce NOW, Luna, Boosteroid, Moonlight and PlayStation Remote Play"],"free":false,"noindex":false,"availability_note":null,"faq":[{"question":"Do I need to buy Windows or own a PC?","answer":"No. Bourbon is not a virtual machine and does not require a Windows licence. It runs Windows games through compatibility and graphics translation layers directly on macOS."},{"question":"Do I keep my Steam games?","answer":"Yes. You sign into your own Steam account and download your own library. Bourbon never touches your ownership."},{"question":"Will my games actually work?","answer":"Many modern 64-bit single-player and Steamworks games run well. Anything with kernel-level anti-cheat generally will not.

You are never forced to upgrade to keep what you already paid for."},{"question":"What do I need to run it?","answer":"An Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, an administrator account for first-time setup, and enough disk space for Steam and your games."},{"question":"Is there a free trial?","answer":"Yes.

Epic, GOG, Amazon and Ubisoft go through Heroic on the Stores page. You can also run any Windows .exe or .msi."},{"question":"Does Bourbon update itself?","answer":"Yes. Every build is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple, and updates itself in the app. Verified game fixes also arrive over the wire, so a fix reaches you the day it is confirmed."},{"question":"Can I see Windows games in the Mac Steam client?","answer":"Yes.

It comes from the developers of the Windows Virtual Display Driver and Virtual Audio Driver and the Linux Virtual Display Driver. Each driver has its own Advanced section, and 28 workflow profiles set up common jobs such as streaming, remote work, meetings, presentations, music, game controls, private networking and portable storage. Cameras use a real source you choose (a display, window, app, physical camera, image or video), MIDI supports both 1.0 and 2.0/UMP with a built-in MIDI Lab, and storage images can be AES-256 encrypted. A bundled vdd command exposes everything to scripts as JSON. It is in Early Access for $14.99, on itch.io, as a Developer ID signed and notarized download for Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14 or later (virtual HID devices need macOS 15). No SIP changes or reduced-security mode are required.

Combat goes beyond a health bar. Armor dents and gashes where it is struck, wheels lose grip and tear off, spinners go unbalanced and shake the bot, failing batteries and motors smoke and catch fire, and a two-axis piercing and concussion model plays armor hardness against weapon type. Hand a bot to the AI and watch two machines fight from a broadcast camera, or build opponents from reusable AI profiles.

It is aimed at one goal: the smallest possible archives for mixed, real-world data, without the format becoming unreadable as the engine evolves. The engine packs files solid by type, removes duplicates at the file and block level, and runs content-aware transforms before compressing: a lossless JPEG transcoder, a PNG and zip deflate-undo step, and executable filters. Four levels (fast, balanced, max and insane) trade time for size. The fast level uses LZMA2 alone; from balanced upward, each block is compressed by several codecs and the smallest result wins, with the winning codec stamped into the archive so it always extracts. DevZIP also has its own clean-room context-mixing codec, DZCM, available as an opt-in backend. The project's own notes are candid that this costs CPU time: in its own benchmark sweep the max level makes archives 18% smaller than 7-Zip's LZMA2 (balanced, the default, 11.7%), at roughly 20 to 45 times the compression time. There's a command-line tool for compress, extract and verify, and a WPF desktop shell for Windows.

The lead comes from content-aware transforms for JPEG and PNG; the docs are candid that kanzi -l9 still beats DevZIP's current backend on raw code (0.151 vs 0.162 MB) and executables (6.792 vs 6.930 MB)."},{"question":"What is DZCM, and is it on by default?","answer":"DZCM is DevZIP's own context-mixing codec, written from scratch for the project.

The idea first appeared in short dev-day videos in September 2021, and in October 2021 a tech demo went up on itch.io under the working title Paragon Smash. That demo covered a stage and movement only, with no combat interactions; its screenshots show the heroes Countess and Aurora.

Scripts were sorted into categories in the left panel. A double-click ran one and showed its output in the built-in console, and a right-click offered more options, such as running or undoing a script as administrator. WinPick downloaded scripts from the public WinPick-Scripts repository by default, or from any GitHub repository, branch and folder the user chose; a New Script button started one from a template, and most scripts included an undo option. The client was written in Python with Tkinter. Mike moved it from a private repository to GitHub in April 2025 and released it as open source under the GPL-3.0, at version 25.4.12.
