About Sikarugir

Sikarugir is a tool for making Wine-wrapped ports of Windows software that run on macOS. The project describes itself as the successor to Wineskin and is aimed at producing user-friendly app wrappers. Its listed DirectX support spans several renderers, including D3DMetal, DXVK, D9VK, DXMT, WineD3D and CNC-DDRAW, with different options covering different DirectX versions. The project supports macOS 14.6 or later and can be installed with Homebrew. Apple Silicon Macs also need Rosetta 2. The project states that it is not a replacement for CrossOver or Whisky. Its D3DMetal component is closed source with a restrictive license that does not permit commercial ports. The README warns that the website sikarugir.com is not affiliated with the Sikarugir team and advises scanning for malware if you arrive from it.

Antivirus software may flag the project's files. The README says these reports are false positives and that users should contact their antivirus vendor to report them.
