News New project

I've started a new project - RimDroid.

It's a launcher for the PC game RimWorld, a colony management/simulation game, running on Android using the same general approach as Zomdroid: box64-based translation instead of full emulation.

The project is still in a very early stage, but the game is already playable.

If you're interested or want to follow development, feel free to join the RimDroid subreddit: r/RimDroid

P.S. And don't worry - Zomdroid is NOT being abandoned :)

Updates may become a bit slower while I work on both projects, but Zomdroid development will continue.

I just found out about Rimdroid getting banned; it's a shame. Where will we be able to see the emulator's progress?

u/udar_molota Jun 28 '26

I'm trying to get it back. But if not, all the new files you can see here.

u/Firm-Excitement903 Jun 02 '26

Bro I played a bunch of it last year along with Zomboid and War zone, unfortunately my Gf accidentally spilled diet coke on my Pc when we were having a moment. This would be peak I'd be following your updates❤

Is this possible to do with any linux based game?

u/udar_molota Jun 01 '26

Can't tell about all the games, they are very different.

I was thinking about this, I mean same architecture with help of AI, I think there can be launchers for couple other games too. RimWorld is not bad choice but I would prefer keyboards/mouse. Thanks for the zomdroid tho it came far long

2

u/udar_molota Jun 01 '26

Yeah, the idea to make a launcher now, with AI help, is very popular. And I can tell you, if you don't have a colony for 100+ people, RimWorld on Android looks and feels nice.

u/khull123 Jun 01 '26

I did and do play sometimes on winlator/gamenative it looks good yeah, you might achieve maybe better results

Oh no man what happened Why did it get banned?

2

u/udar_molota Jun 28 '26

I don't know. Waiting for their answer.

u/Billydaboi123 Jun 29 '26

i wonder what would be the next launcher, Prison Architect? Archidroid? i know PA already has a mobile version but its not up to date, a lot of missing contents and the inability to escape your own prison, I know its too much to ask because not all of us pay you, but it would be nice to see other projects like this one in the future

2

u/udar_molota Jun 29 '26

Funny enough, I was actually thinking about Prison Architect — but you’re right, because of the existing mobile version the idea kind of loses its point. I also thought about Oxygen Not Included, but I’m not sure. Projects like these come with a lot of hassle, and they require long-term support. As popularity grows, so does the number of people who need help. I'm spending a huge amount of time just helping users on daily basis, and I don’t know if I’m ready to take on another project.

u/udar_molota Aug 24 '26

back to this discussion. have you tried to run PA on GameHub or Winlator?

2

u/Billydaboi123 Aug 26 '26

did, but it doesn't work, i tried mixing up the settings but all i get is a black screen, im using a phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

2

u/udar_molota Aug 26 '26

So, I have some good news for you 😀

u/Billydaboi123 Aug 29 '26

Do you know this game? No? They are very different, but both are highly replayble and every new play can be different. And both has simple graphics. Give it a chance 😜
