The Darwine project stopped active development on the PowerPC version of Darwine in late 2006, but was later revived and new builds - without code changes - were created, starting in mid-2008 by other developers. x86 Macintosh computers could run Windows programs (if compatible with Wine) natively - resulting in speeds comparable to Mac specific programs. Darwine applied their patches to Wine for a separate x86 Macintosh version of Darwine.

The developers then worked to integrate the processor-emulator QEMU with a Mac OS-compatible version of Wine in order to run Win32 EXEs on Mac OS X for PowerPC.ĭarwine's focus shifted due to the Mac transition to Intel processors.

The group succeeded in porting Wine from ELF to Mach-0 Mach-O/ PowerPC. In 2002, part of the OpenDarwin team created Darwine to support compiling of Win32 source into Mach-O/ PowerPC binaries for Macintosh computers.
