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.
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!
Then I must have been tripping balls, as I recall v10 was the last thing they were gonna release, the whole repo was archived too, maybe it was Ajay’s prefix being archived? I really don’t recall. Anyway thanks from stopping me from spreading misinformation!

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.
Has you can see gta san andreas (pc version) running on a Samsung galaxy tab s9 with winlator
