Others How to POSSIBLY play any windows game on your Android device.

Remember NOT ALL GAMES WILL RUN,
THERE MIGHT BE SOME AUDIO GLITCHES.
Also Sorry for my bad-ish English. It is my second language.


Some windows emulators exist which can run .exe games/application under specific conditions
The one I am gonna use is called Winlator.


Download:

You must be registered to see the links

Installation:
1. Download both .obb and .apk
2. Once downloaded move the .obb file to "/storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/com.winlator" (create the "com.winlator" folder)
3. Install the .apk


Getting the games to run:
1. Launch the app
2. You should be greeted by this screen

3. Click on that plus icon
4. You will be greeted with a bunch of options, I prefer to not change them but you can fiddle with them if you know what you're doing, the only thing I change is the GPU Name to GTX 470.

5. Once done create the container by tapping the "tick" option.
6. You container will be created, now click on the 3 dots and run the container.
7. If everything went well, you will see this screen

8. Now download your game, I downloaded Samurai Vandalism - https://f95zone.to/threads/samurai-vandalism-v2-03-oneone1.83578/ because this game runs on unity and has an .exe file.
9. To make things easier, make a folder in your "Downloads" folder and extract the game in that folder only, because the "D Drive" is your Downloads folder in the Winlator.
10. You can click and drag to move the cursor and tap on the screen to left click. For on screen controls go back on your phone. Click on "Input Controls" then select "RTC" from the drop menu, you can customize them too, please let me know if you want to know how.




11. Now use your fingers to drag and cursor and open your "D:" drive. This is your in-phone downloads folder.
12. Navigate to your games folder.

13. Run the .exe
14. Let it cook, it might take some time to launch the game.
15. Have fun!


Here is a little preview of the game running on my device. The Nothing Phone (1), 8 GB RAM, Snapdragon 788G+

I apologize for the thread to be a bit scuffed. I tried my best.

Tried this, got to attempt running a unity game, I got an error saying "Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, up to date graphic drivers and have not disabled graphics acceleration"

Which game was it? I could try, but directx11 is pretty complex for an emulator to run, and every single windows emulator runs an ancient version of windows, which at best can run non demanding games like I did, but there are always exceptions, like some people have brute forced the emulator to run fallout games. So maybe it's possible, maybe it's not... That's why the title says "Possibly"
p.s installing directx is also not possible since during the installation, the installer runs into an error everytime.

Guys if you want my advice use joiplay it can run rbg - html - renpy pc games

 

[Annoumoys69]

Who know how to fix that ?

The game I showed was a unity game, but for rpgm, html and renpy games yeah, joiplay is 1000x better.

 

[nitish2686]

Who know how to fix that ?

I tried running the game myself, got into the menu screen as well, but the game crashes after like 5 mins, maybe bcz of not enough specs? I will look into it

I appreciate it + the game isn't important only for test i try with many games but results still the same but when i change the graphics driver to LLvmpip it works on 3 frame ( i have Snapdragon 680 )

So changing graphic drivers would be the solution then, and having a better processor too, guess it is the same with every emulator out there. Either way thanks for posting the fix.

I'm gonna chime in kinda late but here is maybe a fix for your DirectX11 issue

Try DXVK in the settings of the box.

DXVK works by translating the API calls from DirectX to Vulkan which is better on Linux. It's how you can get new games to run on Linux

do you know why this showing

In my opinion (which is not the best) looks like the game cannot run under WINE. Check if you can switch settings around and get it to work. If absolutely no settings can make it work then you're fully out of luck, I don't think there is someone that is actively maintaining and patching this software to work with modern games like the desktop WINE is.

 

[suchwow]

Does this emulator run NTRman games?

There is no DXVK in the container's settings

Winlator works well with snapdragon but not with mali. In Mali gpu it's uses openly which have very limited compatibility and limited functions

 

[Mythili2202]

*openly = opengl

 

[Xeikatsu]

GPU
Adreno 618 and above - use Turnip+Zinc(best performance but unstable 3D rendering), if you are using Exagear or winlator avoid using DXVX its incompatible... only use it on Mobox or Box86/64 and phone gpu is Adreno above 618

For Mali GPU use LLVMPIPE or Mesa for 3d rendering both are stable and universal(openGL) Rendering but dont expect performance

DirectX 8~11 - wined3d is the thing you use to trick emulator for directX

(for mobox&Box84/64 DXVX is a combination for 3d rendering(Vulkan) & directX if i get this right)

For Microsoft Net.Framework you will use wine mono and Wine Gecko

Who knows how to run this? CPU Snapdragon 7 Gen 3

No graphic drivers install
How to install, i tho its already installed at 1st setup mobox


Finally got it, open start on window desktop menu and find install driver, done
My gpu Mali, use Messa3d, done
But still figure it out best landscape Fullscreen output, 2nd pic sample game
3rd pic reference setting
