Finally I'll be able to play Diablo I with touch controls

How good does the device have to be for this? And on which Android operating system does it run? I have been looking for a decent app that brings Windows to Android devices for ages, there were always some problems something always didn't work.

I'm sure the android device has to have top notch specs in order to play specific games.

I'm surprised that this emulator emulates previous Windows systems and at the same time Native PC Games & Apps on Android but it may vary depending on the range of your smartphone you have.

It seems RAM is an important factor...
My device got 2gb ram, and it didn't work at all for me... (i have tested an older version of it though)

According to what I found Android 7 seems to be the absolute minimum. If you want all of Winlator's functions then it's Android 9 and up.

As for games, I found a compatibility list here. Not sure how useful it is since by the looks of it people contributing to it use high-end devices but it's something at least.

I'd use with caution, I'm not sure if this is a false positive

Well, the project is open source, and hosted on GitHub, so its code is publicly available for review.
It's quite possible that those flags are due to nature of it... being an OS emulator needs using all sort of tricks and features, which can easily trigger antivirus flags... but still it's always good to be aware of risks.

Is this lightweight or i am gonna burn my precious??

Thanks @Clippy @thecrow2313 this won't work on my device I'm still using Android 9 but my device is getting too old for something like that I will buy something new soon.

I would not have thought that Skyrim would work on this emulator that's really unbelievable.

I'll look into it after I upgrade my phone.

Wait wait wait WAIT.

Don't use it if it gives something with the scanning.
There was drama with Winlator because of a Windows virus on a companion test app that came with it.
It was supposedly confirmed.

The dev explained he didn't knew because that app was from another open source project he used with Winlator.
Then after the drama, dropped everything, and after sometime he seemingly came back.
I hope the problem with viruses doesn't continue.

And being open source or FOSS (or for Linux) doesn't make something automatically safe, or easy to analyse the code.

Espere, espere, espere, ESPERE.

Não utilize se apresentar algum problema na digitalização.
Houve um drama com o Winlator por causa de um vírus do Windows em um aplicativo de teste complementar que veio com ele.
Foi supostamente confirmado.

O desenvolvedor explicou que não sabia porque o aplicativo era de outro projeto de código aberto que ele usou com o Winlator.
Então, depois do drama, ele largou tudo e, depois de algum tempo, aparentemente voltou.
Espero que o problema com vírus não continue.

E ser de código aberto ou FOSS (ou para Linux) não torna algo automaticamente seguro ou fácil de analisar o código.

Meu meu mano já tô chocado você não pode me indicar um aplicativo bom para eu substituir então

Here's the thread about the supposed virus.

Aqui está o tópico sobre o suposto vírus.

Obrigado

I don't really know since I don't use it.
Apparently Winlator is just a customized compilation of other apps to easily run the games on Android.

Eu realmente não sei, pois não o uso.
Aparentemente, o Winlator é apenas uma compilação personalizada de outros aplicativos para executar jogos facilmente no Android.

Você lembra do golpe do emulador do PS2 damops2 querem roubava código de outros

Winlator seems legit, since it's just using mostly free software and is giving credit to authors of other software.
I just hope this time the dev is more careful with the software he trusted to include.
It could happen to him like any of us I wanna think.
