Winlator is an Android application that lets you run Windows (x86_64) applications with Wine. It supports standard x86_64 containers using Box86/Box64, as well as Arm64EC containers which utilize FEXCore (for 64/32-bit) or an optional WowBox64 (for 32-bit).
This is a fork of the Winlator Bionic project by Pipetto-crypto.
The Ludashi Build is functionally identical to the standard Bionic app, but the package name has been renamed to mimic Ludashi, a popular benchmark app. Some Android phones — especially Xiaomi devices — may automatically enable performance mode when such apps are detected, potentially reducing throttling and boosting performance slightly.
This is the standard, unmodified build. It uses the original package name, which allows it to be installed alongside other popular Winlator forks (like the coffincolors version) without any package conflicts.
This build mimics the package name of Genshin Impact. This is specifically designed for RedMagic devices, as the phone's software may detect this package name to enable hardware-specific gaming enhancements, such as built-in frame generation (framegen). Using this build may unlock these features and improve performance on supported RedMagic phones.
- Download and install the latest APK from this repository's Releases section (choose your preferred build:
dev-vanilla,ludashi, orredmagic). - Launch the app and wait for the installation process to finish.
- Here is a tutorial from ZeroKimchi channel on how to use Winlator Bionic: https://youtu.be/EJDWZUGF9sk?si=e3Z-DdmMJSYKduWz
- If you are using an
x86_64container and experiencing performance issues, try changing the Box86/Box64 preset to Performance in Container Settings -> Advanced Tab. - If you are using an
Arm64ECcontainer, try swapping between different FEXCore versions (2505,2507 etc) in the container settings for better compatibility or performance. - For applications that use .NET Framework, try installing Wine Mono found in Start Menu -> System Tools.
- If some older games don't open, try adding the environment variable MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2003 in Container Settings -> Environment Variables.
- Try running the games using the shortcut on the Winlator home screen, there you can define individual settings for each game.
- To speed up the installers, try changing the Box86/Box64 preset to Intermediate in Container Settings -> Advanced Tab.
