CrossOver Games for FreeBSD

An anonymous reader writes "Jeremy White from CodeWeavers has made the announcement that an experimental build of CrossOver Games is now available for PC-BSD users. However, this unsupported edition should also work on FreeBSD or DesktopBSD, allowing users to play Windows games on their desktop. The FreeBSD version of CrossOver Games can be downloaded here (registration required)." From the attached notes: "Remember this is an experimental build! If you are on FreeBSD 6.x, you will need to apply a system patch from http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine to enable wine to function properly. Users of FreeBSD 7.0 and higher do not need this patch."

Re:The REAL announcement

I've been paying for it for years - it's the only piece of software I am paying for on Linux in fact.

I find wine very much worthwhile as a "gateway drug" - in fact I was running Win32 perl driving a Windows OCR package under wine on one project - under linux.

So yeah, they have customers. I don't have a clue how many, but I'm planning to renew again next year.
