winlator-app

Winlator runs Windows x86_64 applications on Android through Wine and Box86 or Box64. This repository mirrors the latest app source while the main repository carries releases and the full documentation.

Winlator is an Android application that lets users run Windows x86_64 applications with Wine and Box86 or Box64. The README says this repository stores the latest updates for the Winlator app source, and points to a separate location for more information and releases. The main repository is where the complete documentation and download options live, while this one exists to keep the source updates in one mirror.

The credits list is the main technical detail in the README. GLIBC patches come from Termux Pacman. Wine comes from winehq.org. Box86 and Box64 are by ptitseb. Mesa appears with Turnip, Zink, and VirGL renderers, joined by DXVK, VKD3D, and CNC DDraw. Each credited project handles a specific part of the emulation pipeline, from system libraries to GPU drivers, and together they form the compatibility layer that runs Windows software on Android. The list doubles as a map of where the whole compatibility stack comes from.

The README gives special thanks to all the developers involved in the projects and to everyone who believes in the project. Its scope is short, covering the app description, the purpose of the source repository, and the credits. There are no build or usage instructions in the README itself. Users are directed elsewhere for releases and further information, since this repository exists mainly to mirror the latest app source. It is a deliberately thin README for a repository whose job is mirroring source.
