WineBox is a version of the popular Winlator emulator. You can use this free app to run many Windows (x86/x64) programs and games on your Android device. The original codebase for the WineBox project was made by brunodev85. After that, the winebox64 team and other people in the community take care of it and make it better.

What is WineBox?

WineBox is a special version (fork) of the original Winlator emulator that was made to improve performance when running Windows PC games on Android devices.

This version is different from the usual one because it has the newest Turnip graphics drivers. It also comes with custom patches for game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity. What happened? In AAA games, you can expect smoother gameplay and fewer visual glitches.

Why Choose WineBox?

Find out what makes WineBox a great choice for playing Windows games on Android devices.

Performance Optimization

WineBox changes the glibc library and container settings in a certain way. Compared to the default setup, these changes make things more stable and, in some cases, slightly speed up frame rates when playing games that use a lot of resources.

Updated Graphics Drivers

It comes with the most recent Turnip (Adreno) and Zink drivers already installed. This fixes graphical glitches that are common in older Wine versions and makes 3D games look better.

Audio Latency Fix

Audio stuttering happens a lot when you use emulation. WineBox makes PulseAudio and ALSA work better together, which makes the sound clearer and the delay shorter.

Engine Compatibility

The update includes targeted patches made to help games made with Unity and Unreal Engine. These patches fix the crashes that happen a lot with the standard Winlator build.

Multi-Language UI

WineBox is great at combining Simplified Chinese with English support. This is why it is the "go-to option" for Windows programs that need strong support for Asian languages.

Latest Box86/64

The emulator gets updates often, which include the most recent changes to Box86 and Box64. This makes sure that x86 instructions are translated to ARM64 in the most efficient way possible.

System Requirements

To ensure WineBox runs efficiently, please check that your device aligns with these hardware prerequisites.

Processor (SoC)

Start with at least a Snapdragon 732G or Helio G99.
For heavy AAA gaming like GTA V, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or newer is the best choice for high framerates.

RAM

6GB RAM is the starting point. For a lag-free experience without crashes, we strongly suggest having 8GB to 12GB of memory available.

OS Version

Running Android 10 or higher is mandatory. Newer systems provide superior support for Turnip drivers, ensuring better 3D graphics compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brunodev85 made the first version of Winlator. The winebox64 team has taken over WineBox, which is a modified version, or "fork." This version puts more emphasis on faster driver updates, better performance in Unity and Unreal Engine games, and fixes for sound problems.

It mostly uses DXVK, which works with DirectX 9 through 11. WineBox does, however, also have "experimental support" for VKD3D, which is the DirectX 12 implementation. To make things even more compatible, it often comes with the most recent Turnip and Zink drivers. Some DX12 games may launch, but the overall stability is still being worked on.

No, you don't need to root your device. WineBox works perfectly on most Android devices, running everything in a secure, isolated virtual environment.
