Winlator is an Android application that lets you run Windows (x86_64) applications and games with Wine and Box86/Box64.

Useful Tips

  • 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.
