Wineskin is a user-friendly tool used to make ports of Microsoft Windows software to Apple's macOS/Mac OS X. How Does It Work? As described in the original Wineskin's website: The ports are in the form of normal macOS application bundle wrappers. Wineskin is a mac app that download and install (and manages, updates, etc) 'wine' for you. It then creates a HeidiSQL.app (any name you want with any icon you want - but you need to configure it) around the windows.exe that includes the wine version selected and is completely self contained (does not need wine installed separately). Here, you will find the “Wineskin” app right under Contents and a shortcut to DriveC. Open the wineskin app. It will take you to the launch utility. Now you have two choices, either you are copying an entire folder inside, or you are installing a fresh copy. Let’s go with the installation first. Click on “Install Software.”. Just inside you’ll see. Wineskin.app and drivec. Wineskin.app is the main configuration tool you’ll use, and is talked about in Section 4 of the manual. Drivec is a folder that all Windows apps run from this wrapper will see as the computers C: drive. If you look in Contents you’ll see the normal Mac Application Info.plist. A port of the the beta version of the Pokemon Trading Card Game Online using Wineskin, for Mac users. This port gives mac users the ability to try out the beta version of this application. Pokemon will be releasing a mac version at some point, but I just couldn't wait, it's not perfect but it does give you a chance to try it out.

Run Windows-based Programs on a Mac

» News: Cryptographic Update for WineBottler 4.0.1.1

Turn Windows-based programs into Mac apps –
NOT. ;)

WineBottler packages Windows-based programs like browsers, media-players, games or business appli­ca­tions snugly into Mac app-bundles.
Your company provides you with a login, mail, calendar and contacts that only work on certain browsers?
You quickly want to test your websites in Windows-based browsers.
You want to play games, that are not ported to OS X?
Your online trading platform or accounting tool only runs on Windows?
Your audio book player is not available on OS X?
No need to install emulators, virtualizers or boot into other operating systems – WineBottler runs your Windows-based programs directly on your Mac.
This is possible thanks to a Windows-compatible subsystem, which is provided by the great OpenSource tool Wine.

WineBottler does Automated Installations:

Select from a wide range of software for which WineBottler offers automated installations. It is as easy as hitting 'Install' – and WineBottler will leave you with a neat app on your desktop. WineBottler does not come with the programs themselves, but with scripts, that take care of down­loading, configuring and installing everything into an app for you.

WineBottler can pack your .exe into an Mac .app ...

Double-click your .exe or .msi and convert it into an app with WineBottler. You can run the generated app like every other program on your Mac. For advanced users, WineBottler gives you a selection of options: install special dependencies and even turn your .exe into a self-contained app - that is an app, that contains everything to run it... even on other Macs. Porting to OS X never was easier ;).
