Grapple v0.1.0-beta.1

Grapple beta

Grapple runs Windows games on Apple Silicon Macs. This is a beta: expect rough
edges, and tell us what breaks.

What's in this release

• Grapple.app — the Mac app: bottles, one-click Steam, per-bottle graphics
  and settings, diagnostics reports.
• grapple-wine — Grapple's own Wine engine, built from CrossOver's
  LGPL-published source, with DXMT for DirectX 10/11 on Metal, .NET and video
  playback support.
• d3dmetal — Apple's D3DMetal (Game Porting Toolkit), for DirectX 9–12.
• grapple-wine source — the corresponding source for the LGPL parts.

Requirements

• Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer), macOS 14 Sonoma or later
• Rosetta 2: softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
• Games you own. Kernel-level anti-cheat games (Valorant, Fortnite and many
  competitive shooters) cannot run.

Known limitations

• Heavier recent games are limited by the GPU on base-model chips; expect to
  play at Low settings with upscaling.
• Per-game results are published on the website only after we test them.

Reporting problems

In the app: Report a problem creates a diagnostics zip (your username is
removed). Send it with your Mac model, macOS version and the game.
