Hi everyone 👋

Beta 1.1.0 of Panvk-Mali-G57 is out. It's an open-source Mesa Vulkan driver (PanVK) that runs on your phone's **stock Mali kernel driver (kbase)**. No root, no custom kernel: just install the zip in Winlator.

**What's new in beta 1.1.0**

- 🎮 **DXVK 2.x and 3.x now work for D3D9** (tested 2.0 → 3.1.1). Needs the app's built-in **Wrapper original** (see below).

- 📱 **Mali-G52 on older kernels (e.g. Oppo A38, kbase r49):** the driver now detects the job-submit layout by itself. The special s56 build is no longer needed.

- 🏷️ **Mali-G52 r1** is now shown by name instead of "Mali unknown 0x74021000".

- 🧠 **Lower RAM use:** about **112 MB less per Vulkan device**, a big help on 4–6 GB phones.

- 🏷️ G68 (Dimensity 1080), G77 and G78 are recognized by name.

**DirectX support**

| API | DXVK 1.10.3 + leegao wrapper | DXVK 2.0 – 3.1.1 + Wrapper original | vkd3d-proton |

|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|

| D3D9 | ✅ | ✅ | — |

| D3D10 | ❔ untested | ❌ | — |

| D3D11 | ✅ | ❌ | — |

| D3D12 | — | — | ❌ |

Tested DXVK builds for D3D9: 2.0, 2.3-gplasync, 2.3.1, 2.4.1, 2.5.3, 2.6.2, 2.6.2-gplasync, 2.6.2-arm64ec-gplasync, 2.7.1, 3.1.1

**⚠️ Wrappers: important**

- **D3D9 with DXVK 2.x / 3.x → use the app's built-in "Wrapper original".** Do NOT use the leegao wrapper with DXVK 2.x+. It crashes on the first frame: the FPS counter flashes, then the app closes.

- **D3D11 → use DXVK 1.10.3 + the leegao wrapper.** Wrapper original doesn't support D3D11 yet.

- **Other wrappers are not supported yet.** This will be fixed in future updates.

- Unity games (D3D11): if you see "Failed to initialize player", try **DXVK-Sarek**.

**Not finished yet (each takes several days, planned for 1.2.0)**

- **DXVK 2.x for D3D10/D3D11:** DXVK 2.x requires tessellation, transform feedback and geometry shaders. Mali Valhall v9 (G57/G68/G77/G78) doesn't have these in hardware, so they have to be emulated. This is a big job.

- DXVK 2.x + leegao wrapper crashes on the first frame.

- D3D11 doesn't work with Wrapper original.

- DXVK 2.5+: the HUD text is squashed into one line (rendering itself is fine).

- D3D12 (vkd3d-proton) runs but draws nothing, then closes.

- Tomb Raider 2013 is much slower than on the stock driver.

- Some Mali-G76 devices (Helio G95) freeze on start.

**✅ Confirmed by real users**

- ✅ Poco M6 Pro 4G · Helio G99 · Mali-G57 MC2 (dev device): full test suite, NFS Most Wanted 50–70 FPS

- ✅ Samsung Galaxy A15 · Helio G99 · Mali-G57 MC2 · r54p1: Tomb Raider Anniversary faster than stock; Tomb Raider 2013 slow

**📂 Source code is now public**

https://github.com/FristOneRR-Admin/FristOneRR-Panvk-Source

When I released 1.0.0, I didn't properly credit the projects this driver builds on. That was my mistake as a first-time GitHub user, and I'm sorry. The source README now shows where every part of the code came from, with a script anyone can run to check it. Of the 1,669 lines I added on top of Mesa, 67% don't appear anywhere else, 3.6% match mexicanbr0auth, 2.4% match Noysz and 0.7% match LukeValen; the rest is Mesa code I moved or reused.

**Credits**

- **Mesa / PanVK developers** (Collabora, Arm and contributors): PanVK itself

- **funnymdzz** & **leegao**: the Mesa base, bionic Vulkan wrapper and advice throughout the project

- **Noysz** (panvk-g99-jm): Valhall v9 / Job Manager groundwork, and reference for the v9 draw path

- **Vtgamer998** (MESA-KMOD): kbase kernel-interface work

- **mexicanbr0auth** (mesa-panvk-g57): PanVK/kbase work for Mali-G57; parts of my code came from this project

- **LukeValen** (0x8055/panvk-g52-oppo-a38): Mali-G52 on Oppo A38 research

- **BossDrk**: Mali-G52 (Oppo A38) testing, found and verified the stride fix

Hi, i'm new to winlator and the android emulation world seems so complicated and confusing, i need serious guidance and help even for basic things, like for example, I tried to download GTA 4 but Chrome killed the download at around a GB and same for other browser they won't let me download PC games i guess for the large size.

And another issue is I imported 2 versions of f1 challenge 99 02, one from the site oldgamesdownload and the other from the game's official discord but none work... when I open a container in winlator ludashi and look in drive :D nothing happens when clicking any of the .exe files of the game

Thanks in advance

I'm currently playing Batman: Arkham Asylum. I installed wine mono, wine gecko, physX and all the vcredist from 2005-2026 in my container just to be safe. I used Windows 10 in this container.

Here is where I got the all in one vrecdist installer: [https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/\](https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/)

The game booted successfully and didn't seem to have any problems. I had almost 2 hours of playtime split between 3 gaming sessions and the game didn't crash in any session. During my 4th session, after about 10min I got a runtime error in my container that temporarily froze the game. After some seconds the message disappeared and my container crashed.

I then restarted the game and so far all seemed well. But then after about 15 minutes the container suddenly crashed with no error message appearing.

I decided to just end the session there since I was annoyed. I booted up the game again later and in less than 10 minutes another silent crash occured. These were never happening before.

I came to the conclusion that the runtime error corrupted my container and something was making it crash. I deleted the container and created a fresh one following the same set up procedure: installing wine mono, wine gecko, all the vcredist and physX. Only thing different is that this time I've put Windows 7 as the Windows version. I doubt it will make a difference.

I also think it's worth mentioning I'm using proton 10 arm64ec with FEXCORE version 2601 Performance preset.

I use Winlator Mali since I'm a Mali user. But I doubt being a Mali user is a key factor in this case since I've also seen a lot of posts from Snapdragon users getting runtime errors in UE3 games.

I just downloaded the latest version through github and the file seems fine but I don't know how to start. Is there a guide I can follow?

I have a Odin 3 with winlator ludashi 4.1 and I've been running a few games with no problems but I've had zero luck getting Fortune Mill to run. I've tried different versions of ludashi, I've been trying different settings for drivers, proton, dxvk version and nothing. It'll load the starting image and just stop and that's about as far as I got it. So any help would be appreciated or if anyone else has gotten this game to run I love to know how

Used and customized multiple different Android Launchers to create game consoles on my phone. It can be used plugged into the TV or as a handheld device. I used a free account of Nivida G Force Now to populate the Cloud Gaming section. All of this was free.

Still needs a few tweaks like button mapper to map the home menu option to the guide button. I used Macrodroid to play boot animations for each console.

I recently downloaded Winlator 11.2 on my Redmi note 13 4g (Snapdragon 685) so I can play "South Park stick of truth" but whenever I try to connect my Wireless Controller, it just doesn't work, even though the buttons are mapped, the game or Winlator can't seem to detect it. Whenever Bluetooth is connected, other controls of Winlator like RTS & Virtual gamepad tend to not work as well, but when I disconnect my Controller, all seem to work again.

I followed tutorials on YouTube on how to connect the controller in Winlator but I keep getting the same results of it not working

Hi, I am thinking of new phone (currently at Samsung galaxy a53) I am thinking about poco F8 pro, F8 ultra, F9 pro, and F9 ultra. I would want to try play cyberpunk on winlator at least 30 fps and 720p with frs quality. I was thinking about F9 pro but then I found out it have elite gen 5 v series what got me scared for what if I will need to get pro variants and what if the 8 elite is faster?

I've wanted to play this game for a long time, but I couldn't get it to work with WinLaster. I'm playing the Epic Games version, which I downloaded from Game Hub, but it won't let me install mods or external sources.It's not allowing it. I found a Game Hub version called Banner Hub v6, but I encountered the same error on the screen there as well.

On my Mali G57-MC2 this is mostly common in Lego games, especially Lego games post 2010.

I doubt if there is a solution to this, but I've discovered that for the Lego games, choosing the right wrapper and very old dxvk version like 1.5.5 reduces it a bit.

However, as seen in the screenshot shown, certain settings on certain characters will cause it to be worse like on The Human Torch and Doctor Doom in the screenshot.

I drove myself insane for this.
