What both publish
| Fact | Decanter | MacWrap |
|---|---|---|
| Compatibility limits | The maker says games with kernel-level anti-cheat do not work, and Unity 6 requires Metal graphics (DXMT) and a compatible Wine build. | Modern WinRT apps, kernel drivers, online anti-cheat, and modern OpenGL 4.x apps are listed as unsupported for now. |
| Purpose | Decanter runs Windows games on Apple Silicon Macs by choosing a Windows environment and graphics translation for each game. | MacWrap packages Windows programs into macOS app bundles with their own icons that can be launched by double-clicking. |
| Support | Users can create a diagnostic report from a game's page and open a prefilled GitHub issue; they may redact the game name. | The maker says email support replies within 2–3 business days. |
