| Fact | cnc-ddraw | CrossOver |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | cnc-ddraw reimplements the DirectDraw API to improve compatibility in older 2D games that have issues such as black screens, poor performance, crashes, or defective Alt+Tab behavior. | CrossOver translates Windows application commands so many Windows programs can run on Mac and Linux without a Windows emulator or Windows OS license. |
cnc-ddraw suits people trying to run older 2D games that use a DirectDraw Software renderer. It is not suited to games that use Direct3D.
It may suit Mac or Linux users who want to run supported Windows applications, including productivity software, utilities, or games. Readers should check compatibility reports and platform requirements before choosing it.
