TransGaming Inc. is a company specialized in video game portability technology. The company has its head office in Toronto and a research hub in Ottawa. It was founded by Gavriel State, who ran the Linux product division at the Corel Corporation.[1] The current CEO is Vikas Gupta.
[edit] Products[edit] CedegaMain article: Cedega TransGaming's flagship product, Cedega, is a proprietary fork of Wine for running Microsoft Windows games on Linux. There are games that run on Cedega but not on Wine, and games that run on Wine but not Cedega. Users that want to play a specific game usually look for it on the databases that both projects keep.[2][3] The source code for the program is available, but there are restrictions on redistribution that make it non-free software. Transgaming, for example, compelled the Gentoo Linux distribution to remove scripts that downloaded, compiled, and installed Cedega automatically. [edit] CiderThe company has made available a product called Cider which is a technology marketed towards developers that allows Windows games to run on Mac OS X. It shares much of the same core technology as Cedega but is designed for video game designers and publishers. At the 2007 World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC07), Electronic Arts announced their return to the Mac, publishing various titles simultaneously on both PCs and Macs, using Cider on the Mac.[4] In a newsletter dated 2007-11-13, the company announced that Cider will be merging back into Cedega.[5] [edit] SwiftShaderSwiftShader is an advanced software renderer with Direct3D 8/9 class features, including shaders. [edit] GameTree OnlineGameTreeOnline.com was launched in Beta, March 2008, with a focus to offer the Mac gaming community an online retail distribution point for published Mac titles. [edit] Digital rights management (DRM)In a press release dated 2008-08-20, TransGaming announced that they "will utilize Sony DADC's SecuROM digital rights management (DRM) solution for all video game titles enabled through TransGaming's Cider portability engine for Mac games."[6] TransGaming's use of SecuROM is notable because of the company's decision to use SecuROM technology for all Mac games enabled through Cider, irrespective of distribution channel (download vs. retail) and whether SecuROM was used for a game's Windows PC release.[7][8] [edit] See also[edit] References
