What do you do when your organisation has a mission-critical Windows app from 2009, no source code, and zero chance of migrating away? You run it natively on macOS — obviously.
This session explores how Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit (GPTK), originally intended for gaming, can be repurposed to run legacy Windows applications directly on macOS. We’ll walk through real-world examples where GPTK was used to resurrect EXEs from the grave, sidestep infrastructure constraints, and delay costly Windows upgrades.
You’ll learn how to configure GPTK, manage application quirks, and decide when this approach is viable — and when it’s a terrible idea. Whether you’re supporting a university with ancient lab software or an enterprise that refuses to let go of Access 2007, this talk will give you practical tools and unhinged inspiration.
Expect chaos. Expect hacks. Expect results.
