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?
This is cool, but there appears to be no issues tab in GitHub which is a bit of a red flag.
Maybe the program is completely flawless and has no bugs?
There’s also no code, just a link to build binary releases
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
But those few users are usually the most knowledgable ones and can report bugs properly.
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
That’s very true. I mean it is weird that there’s not a Single problem on GitHub.
Fallout 3 running better on Android than it does on Win11.
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.
My body is ready
Mobile FTL is finally a dream realized.
Oh sht I was wondering if my cheap ass android could even run anything with a good experience but I totally forgot abt these old titles that are light on both cpu and gpu. Haven’t played ftl in a while, that’s gonna be the first thing I am gonna try.
Well your comment got me inspired 😄 .
Changed resolution to 1280x720 and graphics driver to VirGL. After that it worked smooth!
Do you have an issue with going full-screen and the cursor getting locked to center?
Holy shit. I was thinking this was cool but what was I really gonna play. This is the answer.
Holy shit yes
It’s not the same game at all, but crying suns is similar and on android and I’m really enjoying it!
Mobile Red Alert 2 would be a dream.
Oh man thats ridiculously neat
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.
