macOS Requirements

macOS Monterey (version 12) or later. This is the minimum that the latest version of MoltenVK requires.

Wine-devel

The development branch of Wine. It has required fixes that are not in the stable branch yet. Wine v12.0 stable will be released in January 2027.

Install with Homebrew: brew install --cask --no-quarantine wine@devel

or

Install with MacPorts: sudo port install wine-devel

DXVK-macOS

This is the macOS specific fork of DXVK. The normal DXVK for Linux will not work.

MoltenVK

This translates the Vulkan commands from DXVK to Apple's Metal API. (Direct3D -> Vulkan -> Metal)
