    I had a really hard time finding information about this, except for videos actually showing Skyrim running on Arm processors. I wonder how it’s done. Is it emulation, translation layer like proton, or are there Arm specific compiled versions of certain games?
    Ok sure, the screenshot is from /r/EmulationOnAndroid, but what’s the software used then? Just curious.

    EDIT: Ok, found the original post on reddit. Some comments suggested it could either be the Switch version using a Switch emulator, or it could Winlator or Mobox (archived for some reason?) which translates x86 into arm, then runs windows code via wine.

        The Winlator experience for me was crazy. I would try so god damn hard to get a game to run, then when it’s running at a stable framerate, I never play it again. Spent more time on “can I?” instead of “Should I?”

        Sadly Winlator has ceased development or something? I heard something about the dev having school or taking a temporary break, I am not sure. Winlator is still up, thanks @MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml for correcting me!
