Feature description

Possibility to only run alternative EXE on MacOS and not use Wine layer.

Mac Source Ports has alternative .app files to download and inject into the Windows game folder to run the game natively on M1 Macs. I would like to use Heroic Games Launcher on my Mac to launch those selected app.filess which I've injected to the folders and not to force use Wine to launch alternative EXEs as it now does.

Possible solution is to add another tickbox to just use alternative EXEs and not Wine layer.

I guess same feature could be useful on Linux too.

@Vakke for those .app files, when adding a game and selecting macOS as OS does not make them work? Should work just fine. Do you have an example that we could try?

@flavioislima Oh didn't realise there were a possibility for this, it works this way!

Is there a possibility to get Save Sync working with this way? The games in question are Fallout 1 and 2 which I own from Epic games store.

Would also love the possibility to add this .app file to the EXE site so I'd have the info, description, file size etc. available. I do understand if that is something you don't see as necessary but I think it would be atleast greatly appreciated!

Save sync will work if you get the correct save path. Just discover where the saves are stored and select it on the game settings.

The game needs to support cloud saves otherwise the settings won't appear.
