I knew it was only a matter of time before Winlator caught up & surpassed things like Exagear! Thanks for keeping us up-to-date and well-informed! ❤

I'm trying to get game turbo and play sonic 2011 but for some reason I can't get game turbo I need help

[@luckycatdad8369]

One thing you didn't touch on was which Graphics card to choose, or why you chose the one you did...

[@im_umbr4]

Thanks for the "deep guide" on the winlator I've been trying to find someone who literally explained everything inside of the winlator and finally i found your video.. i knew they were lying about" "best setting for blah blah blah"copy my setting to improve fps sht" some indian scam here teaching us some bullsht and this dude is our hero thanks man it works for me 🤙 keep it up you earn your self a subscriber. Edit: I knew there was something wrong with checking all the cpu affinity but all the indians keep saying "check all up to improve fps"

[@the_nuwarrior]

thanks bro!, now skyrim runs on my sd662 at 13-15 fps!

[@anonaka131]

Thanks man! My phone was lagging but it became less laggy! You're best keep it up!

This is a super helpful video. How did you save the layout for your external controllers? I have tried several times, but it doesn't seem to save my input maps.

How did you get it to run

[@dominuslogik484]

Can't seem to figure out why games or any apps really get stuck on startup for several minutes before winlator stops responding. I'm running this on an Asus Rog 7

[@a.o.c.4409]

Thanks for this man... just a question is your phone rooted?. i also have sd870 but my cpu clock speed is low.😢

[@voteDC]

Is there a way to disable the keyboard in Winlator? I am trying to play The Walking Dead the Final Season in it and am encountering a problem. No matter how I setup a physical controller, USB-C or Bluetooth, the Y button also acts as the spacebar. The spacebar in the game when using a keyboard & mouse is the pause button (not bringing up the menu, Pause written on the screen type of pause.) So the game becomes near unplayable because any time pressing Y is needed, such as stabbing a zombie in the head, the game is Paused instead.

Wouldn't it be better if you were to uncheck efficiency cores completely? I fear that scheduling might use slower cores randomly

[@TheNukaColaWasteland]

Can you help me? I can't seem to find turnip + zink. All the other ones are there, but for some reason that isn't. I'm on the newest version

[@xxGSII]

not sure why nobody covers the environment variables settings.

[@s727r]

I have an issue where I can't run installers due to privileges not being granted. There's no option to run things as admin so I cannot install games. Would appreciate some advice.

[@FatMan-or3wh]

I have a snapdragon chip and adreno CPU but I didn't have to turnip+zinc showing on mine. Neither the other wine directx equivalent

[@thelastofitskind3034]

Hey question how come I don't see administrator?? 🤔

[@mosu95]

'Unnable to initialize DirectX. Make sure that you have DX8.1 installed or later' Or something along those lines. I was able to get games tarted bu using the exagear DX packs. But it kills FPS. Starcraft runs full speed. After installing the pack it goes to 5 fps so is not a good alternative it seems. Phone: s21 ultra, exinos GPU. Any toughts on this?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Which wrapper are you using? Did you try the two suggested?

[@mosu95]

@KeiRetroGaming i tried running warcraft 3. Dxvk 11 won't work. Switching the driver from t+z to LLVm does the trick but i get 3 fps.

[@haja1963]

so i put some installation files '.exe' in a folder and it does not even show them on the winlator file manager 'Computer'. tried changing winlator options and changing the file location using the file manager built into my phone. - POCO F3

[@KeiRetroGaming]

The only folder I could see that had permission to view the phone storage was the downloads folder. Is that where you put your files?

[@arrivederciheheeeeee5809]

p.s. 3gigs or less works alright but youre not running any decent 3d game (idk should depend on device) if your aiming for running indie games then it should be more than enough. I have a powervr gpu with 3 gigs of system ram and a few complex 2d games ran alright (it's a powervr don't expect much)

[@4K_live_HER3]

i was getting 25 fps and after your video im getting 3

[@ILAN12346]

This isnt system memory, this is only for dx like gpu name 😅 and in wine use taskmgr to set affinity for the game to only the prime core, on old games like oblivion or nfsu, it only uses 1 Thread and try to lock your cpu clocks it will get you about 300% fps ❤

[@kechuno]

How we do this?

[@ambienthoax358]

I've recently tried this out today. I'm trying to find a fix for the stuttering audio sound it gives. Some games run smooth but the sound is terrible, and as for someone who'll use this for visual novels, well... the sound matters for me.

[@teeteetuu94]

Have you tried setting DirectSound to Native (Windows)?

[@EngiGODS358]

Switch the sound driver in the container settings

[@wojciechdobrowolski8572]

Hello, on my reno oppo 6 i have black screen after I start the game - there is only cursor. It's probebly some problem of winlator (I managed to run oblivion on exagear but it was buggy). Does anyone know how to run it on winlator?

[@logicstone1661]

I constantly get 10-15 FPS for Spiderman Web of Shadows. Even when I reduce to the lowest resolution, it's the same frame rate. Do you think it's due to my phone or the emulator? If it's due to the emulator, do you think the FPS will get fixed?

@@KeiRetroGaming Snapdragon 865 6GB RAM Samsung S20 FE

[@KeiRetroGaming]

It could be a badly optimized game from the sounds of it but I've never tried it personally. If you've tried the settings I showed you might need to use something like CPU Float to keep track of usages in android to see what's capping.

How can I get games from my steam library to run? Is that even possible? Would ve great if you could do a video about installing different types of games.

[@KeiRetroGaming]

I don't think it's possible but I haven't tried it personally. A friend of mine installed steam but ran into memory limitations on his device. GOG installers are the easiest from my experience so far with Winlator.

[@anthropos7143]

@@KeiRetroGaming Thank you! Is it potentially possible to convert steam games to a (GOG) DRM-free format (?) that could be used in Winlator?

Could be the driver. Which one did you select?

@@KeiRetroGaming no the drivers are the correct ones i did turnip + zinc but i also tried the other two but only get black screen with them

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Did you try the latest Winlator update?

[@AD_EL_]

@@KeiRetroGaming yes I am on 2.0 version

[@KeiRetroGaming]

It's still pretty early in its development cycle so it could just be bad compatibility or you might need a faster Android device. It seems to be getting better all the time though but I couldn't run anything on my other devices, only the snapdragon 870 tablet I have.

[@starplatinum3305]

What if my android doesnt have game turbo?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

It'll run fine without it, depending on the chip your device has. In MIUI on Poco and Xiaomi devices, it pushes the throttle rate way further ahead, minimizing or even eliminating any FPS loss due to heat.

[@MobyDrip]

Failed to initialize graphics. Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled 3D acceleration in display settings.
