Winlator is an Android application that lets you run Windows (x86_64) applications and games with Wine and Box86/Box64.
-
Download and install the APK (Winlator_latest_version.apk) from here
-
Launch the app
-
Wait for the installation process to finish
- If you are experiencing performance issues, try changing the Box64 preset to
Performance (Gaming Mode)
in Container Settings -> Advanced Tab. - For applications that use .NET Framework, try installing
Wine Mono
found in Start Menu -> System Tools. Which may potentially improve game performance - If some older games don't open, try adding the environment variable
MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2003
in Container Settings -> Environment Variables. Fix game launch and crash issues - Try running the games using the shortcut on the Winlator home screen, there you can define individual settings for each game.
- To display low resolution games correctly, try to enabling the
Force Fullscreen
option in the shortcut settings -> Advanced Tab. - To improve stability in games that uses Unity Engine, try changing the Box64 preset to
Stability (Unity Games)
or in the shortcut settings -> Advanced Tab, add the exec argument-force-gfx-direct
.
