About the emulator

What is Winlator?

Winlator is an emulator for running Windows applications and games on the Android operating system. Developed by brunodev85 as an open-source project, it offers a simple interface and comprehensive emulation features to meet your needs.

It is an Android application (APK) that runs Windows PC (x86_64) applications and games directly on your phone. By combining Wine and Box86/64, Winlator gives Android devices a way to run Windows games and apps.

How Winlator works

Winlator translates Windows API calls into Linux calls that Android can understand through Wine, while Box86/64 emulates the x86 processor so PC games and apps can run smoothly on a wide range of Android smartphones.

Winlator Main Features

Explore the core capabilities that make Winlator the best choice for emulation.

Wine Compatibility

Winlator uses Wine to run Windows applications or games by creating a virtual Windows environment on Android by translating Windows APIs to Android.

Processor Emulation (Box86/64)

Winlator can execute x86/x64 API instructions on Android with the help of Wine, which translates instructions in real-time.

Flexible Graphics Support

Winlator provides several graphics translator features such as DXVK, WineD3D, and Turnip+Zink to translate DirectX GPU rendering to Android GPU rendering.

Customizable Controls

Winlator offers several controller types that you can customize to suit your playing style.

External Hardware Support

Winlator also supports external hardware such as keyboards, mice, and gamepads via USB or Bluetooth. You can add an external controller for added convenience.

Open Source

Winlator is an open-source project, meaning you can view, modify, report bugs, or fork the source code on GitHub.

Device Specifications

To use Winlator, we provide some suggestions for minimum specifications and hardware recommendations to ensure smooth operation when using Winlator.

Processor

For Chipset we recommend using at least Snapdragon 732G or Mediatek G99, even then you will only be able to play games smoothly like PES 2013. For heavy games like GTA V we recommend at least Snapdragon 8s gen 3 or Mediatek Dimensity 9200.

RAM

For light games like PES 2013, 6GB RAM is sufficient. However, for heavy games like GTA V, we recommend a minimum of 8GB RAM.

Storage

Light games like PES 2013 don't require much memory, so 6GB of free space is sufficient. However, for heavy games like GTA V, 190GB of free space is recommended.

Operating system

Winlator supports older Android versions, such as Android 8.0 (Oreo) and below, but the latest Android versions are still recommended.

Internet Connection

You need a fast and stable internet connection to download necessary apps, games, and additional data.

GPU

A powerful processor and GPU will greatly help improve graphics performance, especially when running 3D games.
