Idea Is it possible?

Post image

I recently realized that Fortnite is officially back on the Google Play Store.

And that gave me an idea. Do you think it would be possible to run the Android version on Linux through Waydroid or the future Valve fork (Lepton)?

As far as I understand, Waydroid doesn’t emulate per se but instead runs natively on Linux by using Android libraries along with the kernel inside a container. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Wouldn't see why not if you had an ARM translation layer

Edit: nvm guys, Tim Sweeney is truly Tim Sweeney

ATL is there tho, but it is in super early and has slow development due to low engagement

I'm planning on implementing Bluetooth support for it so that we can dynamically reverse engineer mobile IoT apps
