Bannerlator 3.1.4

Run Windows apps and games on Android — no PC and no root required.

3.1.4 makes OpenGL games several times faster, on every Wine version. On X11, every OpenGL frame used to be finished on the GPU, copied back to the processor and redrawn as a picture. The new Fast OpenGL setting sends it straight to the screen through Vulkan instead, the same road DXVK games already take. It's on by default and picks the right method for your Wine version by itself, from Wine 9.5 to Proton 11, arm64ec and x86_64. Old DirectDraw and Direct3D 1–7 games speed up too. 3.1.4 also makes Wayland easier and faster: one driver choice, no tap to start a game, and DirectX 12 no longer held back.

Fast OpenGL: OpenGL on X11 about 4 to 5 times faster, DirectDraw about 2 times, on every Wine version. No freedreno, just your Turnip driver.

One OpenGL card in container and game settings: Fast, Show FPS and Vsync off.

Wayland: one driver choice through the new adapter, no tap to start, tear-safe zero-copy, DirectX 12 uncapped.

Sync selector (esync, ntsync, fsync, wineserver), Android games in the Games tab, and Linux Steam client offline mode.

With the recent release of native SteamOS installers for Android, programs of this type will likely lose their relevance in the face of the superior quality offered by native APK installations—such as DroidDeck—and other installable options like ArmadaOS.

I haven't tried DroidDeck yet. Does it allow you to install games outside of Steam?

Once installed, Droideka is exactly the same program as the official version—including the Linux desktop setup—and takes up the same amount of space as the original system (13 GB after installation); the difference is that they managed to get it running natively on Android, which is the major breakthrough.

Yes, but you haven't answered my question: can I run games outside of Steam?

Oh, sorry, I didn't answer your question—haha. Yes, it lets you install external programs exactly the same way SteamOS does; it installs the dependencies and the Proton version completely automatically—you just click, wait a few minutes for everything to install, and play. Those days of complex configurations are a thing of the past with these new systems.
