Interesting, I've not heard of this one before. Most of the emulation community has settled on 'Winlator' as the main android windows emu of choice. Before this it was Exagear, but winlator is easier to get started with. Another route is using proof termux with a DE like xfce and connecting with X but not sure how good this setup is for pure gaming performance, but may be a good option for Dev work.

This is great! There are so many fantastic Windows games from the pre-smartphone era, before ads, in-app purchases, etc. came along and ruined things.<p>BTW if you liked <i>X-Com: UFO Defense</i> and want a blast from the past, try out <i>The X-Com Files</i>[1]. It runs on the Android build of <i>OpenXcom</i>[2], and it&#x27;s not terribly difficult to set it up to sync Savegames between Android and your desktop.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openxcom.org&#x2F;forum&#x2F;index.php?topic=4595.0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openxcom.org&#x2F;forum&#x2F;index.php?topic=4595.0</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openxcom.org&#x2F;forum&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;topic,5258.0.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openxcom.org&#x2F;forum&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;topic,5258.0.html</a>

How does this work? Does it run the x86_64 version of Wine in Box64? My understanding of wine was that it just translates API calls, shouldn&#x27;t it work on any ISA then? (Or is most of a program &#x2F; game math and that stuff would fail?)

It would be great if this was on F-Droid.

How is this different to winlator? It seems to depend on termux

This is especially sweet for owners of high end android tablets, where if you have an android 16 tablet you can then run both windowws legacy apps and full linux desktop on the same device.

Odd choice of name, to my ear at least, given that Android devices rarely have mice...

So, there&#x27;s actually a chance I could play Populous: The Beginning on a tablet?

Dear GitHub: please consider providing a nudge for the owner to include a license when creating a public repo. Otherwise the fork button becomes kind of weird, right?

How does this work in practice once you run the application? The windows games are designed for a large screen and keyboard&amp;mouse.

Now someone needs to make it work the other way. Android apps on Windows!
