🎮 budu - Play Windows games on Apple Silicon

Budu provides a bridge for Windows-native games to run on Apple Silicon hardware. You can play your favorite titles without complex setup processes or hidden fees. This software remains free and receives ongoing updates to ensure game compatibility.

🚀 System Requirements

Budu works best on Mac computers equipped with Apple Silicon chips, such as the M1, M2, or M3 series. Ensure your system meets these basic criteria:

• macOS 12.0 or newer.
• At least 8GB of system memory.
• Sufficient disk space for the games you wish to install.
• An Apple Silicon processor (this software does not support Intel-based Macs).

💾 Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up the software on your device:

1. Visit the official releases page on GitHub.
2. Look for the file ending in .dmg and click it to begin your download.
3. Open the downloaded file once the process finishes.
4. Drag the Budu icon into your Applications folder when prompted by the installer.
5. Launch Budu from your Applications folder. You might need to confirm that you want to open software from an unidentified developer via System Settings if prompted by macOS.

⚙️ How to Run Games

Once you open the software, the interface displays a simple menu. Select "Add Game" and navigate to the folder containing your Windows game files. Budu detects the necessary components automatically to ensure the game opens in a compatible environment. Click "Play" to start your session.

🛡️ Privacy and Safety

This software does not track your data or activities. You retain full control over your files on your local machine. Because this project is open-source, the community reviews the code regularly to maintain transparency and security for all users.

🛠️ Troubleshooting Common Issues

If a game fails to start, verify that your game files are complete. Ensure you are using the correct Windows installer for the software. Check for updates within the Budu application menu to ensure you utilize the latest improvements and compatibility patches.
