anyone using CrossOver on Mac OS?
and if so, how's the accessibility?
does it work well with voiceober?
CrossOver is a commercial software program that allows Mac, users to run Windows applications and games natively without needing a Windows license or a virtual machine.

Sure
Last I tried it, the app, itself, was perfectly usable, and I had a dialog going with CodeWeavers. Certainly, if you know what you're doing, it'll work.
However. Any part of the GUI of the emulated Windows system won't be accessible. You need to be able to, for instance, use scripts to install the components you might need, such as by using winetricks, or hack on the registry files directly, or read generated logs to find the contents of message boxes that might appear when made using msgbox calls. You simply won't be able to use VoiceOver directly (although, now I think about it, VOCR might be more of a help today than when I didn't have that option). I suggest that you have some degree of proficiency with WINE before you start playing, however, as it's likely to be quite frustrating otherwise.
It is notable that I generally still prefer to run up a VM to play audiogames. Honestly, if that's what you're going in for, I should just do that.
