The GitHub page for the project

So basically it’s a mix of translation layers (such as wine) to run windows app on Android. I saw an article on it and I thought I’d share. It looks pretty cool, although I’m not exactly sure what the use case for this would be. It does looks like their are some touch controls so that’s pretty cool. All things considered do you thing you’d be willing to install and download full PC games to play on your phone?

      Yeah I would usually agree, but I mean it would make sense as this project is extremely new (came out like 6 days ago) so it probably doesn’t have that many users yet.

        It’s not that there are no issues yet, the issue Page is disabled. They don’t want people to rain on their parade

          Maybe got too many comments from inexperienced users that are trying to run AAA games at the first try after seeing a doctored YouTube video

    From from what I heard, apparently it’s a lot slower than Box4Droid, although it’s easier to use.

    There’s also the upcoming Cassia emulator, which looks promising and should be better than either of them.

    As for the use case, there are plenty of good PC games without a decent Android port/equivalent. A lot of us spend more time on Android than on PC, so it makes sense that we’re starting to see more and more projects like these (besides, most native Android games suck).

      Really? I’ve never dove too much into the android emulator space. What makes Cassia so different from the others? Also I’m definitely gonna have to check out Box4Droid.

        Cassia is a Wine fork + FEXCore + easy to use GUI with the ability to create Wine prefixes. It’s made by the same guys who made the Skyline Emulator, which was prolly the best Nintendo Switch emulator on Android, so the expectations are pretty high.

    If this was similar to Cassia I would have loved it but the first version of Winlator didn’t worked well on my phone with Mali g52, Helio g80 soc, even on VirGL. Waiting for Cassia.
