| Version | Size | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 10.x | ~700 MB | Stable — official channel |
| 1 | Android 8+ (arm64) |
|---|---|

Only from the official GitHub releases (brunodev85/winlator), ~700 MB APK. Beware of fake paid copies on app stores.
Yes — free and open source with no in-app purchases; any 'paid version' is a scam.
Android 8+ arm64 required. Snapdragon 845 minimum; 865/870/8 Gen series are the sweet spot. MediaTek compatibility varies.
Create a container, put game folders under Download/winlator, add shortcuts, set the Wine version and DX wrapper (DXVK recommended), then launch.
No — everything runs locally; you only need network for the APK and game downloads.
Try different Box64 presets, switch between DXVK and WineD3D, lower resolution, and disable audio to isolate the cause.
