You wanna play but you have a Mac? I got you ✌️
I keep fighting with wine to install some game. So I give myself a challenge to build an app who make it easier in 7 days.
Log to your account or drop your .exe and let it do it.
I didn't put the touchscreen support yet 😅
Before installing anything, check if it run on your Mac 👀
Got a MCP in the app too. Your AI agent can install the game, set up the prefix, read the logs and fix it. You approve every step.
And WebMCP on the site to check the catalogue.

Trained my own frame gen model overnight on a MacBook Air. (GPU is expensive af 😭)
Faster than RIFE on the Neural Engine.
RIFE still win on new scenes tho.
something is cooking 👀
Your Windows game runs at 40 fps on your Mac?
I'm making it feel like 80 👀
Frame gen, inside Cartouche. Still experimental, here's how it works 👇
Stepped into a community that looks for drama, then blocks you when they run out of arguments.
We just wanna play on Mac bro, chill. Licenses are respected, CodeWeavers credited.
Cartouche is free. Try it!

Working on frame gen for Cartouche.
Lots of games run under 60 fps on a Mac. I already added DLSS and FSR through D3DMetal, and a built-in scaler for games that have neither.
Frame gen goes through MetalFX interpolation. It's not there yet. The motion vectors are guessed, so there's ghosting and about 8 ms more latency (17 to 25 ms).
That's my side project while I look for a freelance mission or a job. Open to work, DMs open.
Released Cartouche Saturday. Two bug reports Sunday. Three releases in 24h.
Sunday Log #002, what broke and how I fixed it: bryann2k.dev/log/2026-w43
Cartouche 0.1.1 is out.
Games without D3DMetal now run on DXMT instead of failing to start. (Raft works again @mike_dreeman 😅).
Cartouche names the right Apple download for D3DMetal and tells you when a new one ships.
Homebrew has its own tap.
Update in the app, or download here

Playing on a Mac should be easy… and free.
I spent a week of evenings building Cartouche, a game launcher for Apple silicon Macs.
Connect your store account, download a game, play. Steam, Epic, GOG and Amazon all land in the same library.
Old Windows game? Drop its .exe or archive in and watch it install.
Even older? Add your ROM and play through RetroArch (@libretro).
It won't run everything. Anti-cheat kills some games on a Mac, so Cartouche tells you before you download.
Reply with a game you miss. Let's see if it runs.

No games, ROMs or BIOS included. It started as a fork of NotProton, credit to its devs.
First launch: macOS will warn you. Cartouche is signed but not notarized, so open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway.
Notarization needs a paid Apple developer membership. If you want that warning gone for everyone, tips go straight to it: ko-fi.com/bryann2k
