The CXZ Project has received an Update in form of two new Engines and Wrappers.
.
The CXZ Jade Wrapper & Engine have been around a few months already and it works great and yesterday the CXZ Aquamarine Wrapper & Engine came out of the testing phase and should be stable. Read on for more info
CXZ Jade uses Wine version 1.1.35 and has the same compatibility as CrossOver 9, while CXZ Aquamarine uses Wine version 1.1.42 like CrossOver Games 9.
CXZ Jade should be mainly used for Application ports, while CXZ Aquamarine is for Games.
A lot of Porters are already crankin’ up the Game releases with the new CXZ Aquamarine, due to it’s awesome compatibility and performance with Games, especially tcrown, Darkuser and DankoB made a lot of awesome Ports last week with Titles like F.E.A.R 2, X-Men Wolverine’s Revenge, Prototype and Dead Space.
I also plan on splitting up the huge Engine Installer into two, namely a recommended Engine Installer and a legacy Engine Installer.
This should save more space since the older Engines like Topaz, Sapphire and Ruby (legacy Engines) are not as used as often as opposed to Diamond, Black Diamond, Jade and now Aquamarine. (recommended Engines)
.
All CXZ Engines and Wrappers can be found as usual in the CXZ (Member’s Project) Section in the Forum, so be sure to check ‘em out.
And to all who come here for the first time and randomly spam the Forum or the Shoutbox with ‘can’t find CXZ’, simply click the link above or press command + F on your Keyboard and search for ‘CXZ’ on the main Forum page.
Seriously, it’s listed 3 friggin’ times there, you can’t miss it.
(I’m speculating if i should create a Page on the main Blog where it lists all Wrapper projects (CXZ, Wineskin, Cider) with infos, so that people can link to that page in their Ports…)
