The launcher

One window. Every game a card.

Free, owned, or one-tap unlock — it's obvious at a glance, and Play hands off to the native stack you just saw.

How it works

Four steps to playing.

01

Open the launcher

Your library appears — each game a card marked Free, $15, or Owned.

02

Play the free one

The first game runs free, one click — try the whole stack before you pay.

03

Unlock for $15

Stripe checkout for any other game. The license binds to this Mac.

04

Hit Play

It launches the tuned native pipeline — Wine + DXVK→Metal, no streaming.

Under the hood

The fastest path we could build on an M4 Max.

Open-source Wine, not a subscription. Each layer chosen and tuned, not bundled.

x87

rosettax87

An x87 fast-path for Blizzard's engine — a measured ~10× on the hot floating-point loop where Rosetta is slowest.

D3D11

Tuned DXVK → Metal

CrossOver-async DXVK over MoltenVK, with argument-buffers off and frame latency pinned — the levers that actually move frames.

Frontier

Native one-hop DXMT

A native D3D11/D3D12 → Metal path for anti-cheat-free titles — no Vulkan in the middle.

Trust

Signed & hardware-bound

Each license is bound to your Mac's hardware id and signed. A copied file is worthless — the server is the source of truth.
