FAQ

1. What is Winlator with Native Glibc?

   Many thanks to BrunoSX for developing Winlator, a practical and popular PC simulation software. Winlator Glibc is not an upgrade but a mod to Winlator. It uses Glibc patches from Termux-pacman to build the necessary packages, achieving the same goals as the Proot-based solution but without the I/O performance loss associated with Proot. However, due to the exclusion of Arm32 and limitations in Wine's support for wow64, its compatibility with 32-bit applications is not as good as the vanilla Winlator.

2. Where to Get Latest Turnip Driver?

   Thanks to K11MCH1 and JeezDisReez, the latest Mesa Turnip drivers are available for Winlator and can be found K11MCH1/WinlatorTurnipDrivers.

3. Why not Include the New Box64 and Drivers in App?

   Box64 and the Turnip Driver are updated frequently, so installing them externally ensures they are always up to date. Therefore, the app only includes their latest release versions.

4. Reinstall or Overwrite?

   You do not need to uninstall the old Winlator Glibc before installation. However, if you have installed a different version, you must uninstall it before installing the new one due to different signatures. Please make sure to BACK UP your data.

5. Game has Sound but Blank.

   Try using box64 version 0.3.0 or earlier and try using wine-9.2.

6. What is .wcp?

   .wcp is the file extension for add-ons. It is compressed using XZ or Zstd and includes a profile.json file as a manifest. You can create your own add-on files containing various contents. Since these files often include executable programs, make sure to verify that add-ons from other sources do not contain malicious software before installation.

7. What is .rcp?

   .rcp is the file extension for custom Box64 configuration files. It uses a JSON data structure and can be used to generate a box64rc file that Box64 can read. You can refer to official box64rc to configure the rcp file, but you cannot import it directly.
