Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Where can I download Winlator?
Official versions are available on GitHub (search for “winlator”), winlator.com, or third-party sites like k73游戏网. For Chinese users, the J大整合版 (J-modded version) is recommended for full localization and stability
How do I install OBB files?
.Place main.1.com.winlator.obb in /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/com.winlator.
Note: OBB is not required for versions 6.0+ unless using modified builds.
How do I set up a container?
Tap the “+” icon to create a container. Adjust resolution (e.g., 640×360 for retro games), select graphics drivers (e.g., Turnip for Snapdragon), and allocate video memory (e.g., 6144MB for 6GB RAM devices)
What are the system requirements?
Minimum: Android 9.0+, ARM64 CPU (Snapdragon recommended), Vulkan 1.1+ support, 6GB RAM for 3D games. Avoid Huawei/Kirin devices due to compatibility issues.
Which graphics driver should I choose?
Turnip+Zink (T+Z): Best for Snapdragon Adreno GPUs (highest performance).
VirGL: Universal option for MediaTek/Exynos.
LLVMpipe: Fallback for compatibility (slowest).
Can Winlator run Steam or Unity games?
Steam requires command-line tweaks for older versions. For Unity games, set Box86/Box64 presets to “Stability” to avoid crashes.
Games crash or won’t launch. What should I do?
Check file integrity, update Winlator, or try modified builds. For persistent issues:
Run games from C: or Z: drives.
Disable “services.exe” in container settings.
Why is text displayed as squares (口口口)?
Install Chinese/Japanese fonts (e.g., wqy-microhei or otf-ipafont) into Z:/usr/share/fonts and set LC_ALL=zh_CN.utf8 in environment variables.
How do I fix low FPS?
Lower resolution (e.g., 600×480), enable “Force Fullscreen,” or switch to DXVK/VKD3D for DirectX 9-12 games. Avoid CPU core tweaks—they rarely improve speed.
How do I add custom controls or gamepad support?
Use the RTS Keyboard plugin for touch controls or connect Xbox/PS5 controllers via OTG. Remap buttons under “Input Control” settings.
Can I run old DirectDraw games?
Use CNC DDraw or WineD3D for compatibility, though performance may lag. For DirectX 8 titles, D8VK offers better speed.
What’s new in Winlator 9.0?
Added Vortek driver (experimental), Box64 v0.3.2, and 640×360 resolution support. Improved ALSA audio and Ghost Song compatibility.
How do I add games to the Start Menu?
Place shortcuts in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and rename them externally for non-English text.
Why does the file manager fail to open?
Try launching explorer.exe manually, switch to a modified build, or recreate the container.
Is there an official Chinese version?
Only through modified builds like J大整合版, which include preinstalled fonts and libraries.
