Play windows games on Remix OS

[Vlado Z]

Its certanly great idea to run Android on x86/x64 machine and I am also aware that this is beta and it is still work in progress.

Android is free and we can run mobile apps on it, but what happens to Windows apps, especially video games?

I am guessing it will need graphics drivers, code wrappers and what not.

What are the developers thinking on this topic? How we will be able to run Windows apps on Remix OS?

Is it doable by using helper programs, or it will take long until Android OS can compete with Windows?

You are literally comparing different things here.  Remix is based on Android. Android is a slimmed down version of Linux, that slimming removes almost all of the code required to accomplish this.  Count how many Windows video games are brought to Linux, and do the math from there. Load up Linux, and see how well you can run windows based games there, and come back and ask the question again.

If you want to game, dual boot, OR start talking to game developers about developing for this platform.  The OS has everything they need already, not necessarily for AAA titles, but it's still a good base.  Supporting gaming doesn't come from the OS, it comes from the company making the game. Start posting on their boards.

Aham, I see. Ok that is torough an comprehensive answer. :)

Let just say I am AAA developer, will I be able to develop game like Starcraft 2 on Remix OS?

What would be the tricky part?

I am not asking very detailed answer but is it possible to cover a game of that scale?

Starcraft 2 has AI, pathfinding, achievements system, multiple game modes, network part, Shaders, Particle system, in short can I develop a complete game engine on top of Remix OS?

:)))

Edit: Ok maybe you have answered this second question already but lets share some thoughts on the topic. :)

You're in the wrong place man.  Go ask that on the game developers forum.  Your computers OS be it Windows, Android, Linux, or OSX has almost no bearing on any of your questions (shaders and particles being the only thing you said that can be affected by the OS/drivers and are not generally addressed by the os maker, but by the graphics card manufacturers and their software development teams)

The tricky part, would be building the game.

Take a look at the crossover project at codeweavers.com :)

Remix OS is Android. Ask about Android and Windows games, not about Remix OS and Windows games. If you want you can set up a virtual machine and run Windows in it. Then you can run some Windows games. You can also install Linux on your Remix OS and then install Wine on it.
BTW don't expect games like GTA V on Android coming soon, because almost nobody uses Android on PC, and almost none of current phones can handle such game.

[Vlado Z]

Ok, not gonna bother anymore. The good thing I found is I can install Remix OS as virtual machine :)

Gonna get my hands dirty once I find enough time.

Thanks for the ideas.

Use dosbox or Exagear :v

Your graphics library (DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulcan) are going to be limited but that will change when their is a demand for it. Anything written in c/c++ can be ported easily. Your biggest problem will be finding someone to funded the game project tell the money from the sales come in.

Actually, there is a beta for Wine on Android-x86, by the crossover guys at codeweaver.   Its in beta, stay tuned!   Wine is pretty good about running Windows apps and games.  Wine has been around for a long time and it has matured very well.  Don't expect Windows 10 apps to run, but if it runs under Win7 or earlier, there is a decent chance of at least partial, if not full functionality.

  You can play Windows games on Remix OS using emulators like Wine or virtual machines. However, performance may vary depending on the game and system specs. For an optimized experience, try Truck Simulator Ultimate Mod for an immersive trucking adventure!

You won't be able to run Windows games directly on Remix OS — it's still an Android environment. You can try using emulators like ExaGear (which is no longer supported) or configure Wine via the Linux layer, but there will be problems with graphics and performance. Games tied to DirectX are unlikely to work at all. It's easier to use cloud gaming or install Windows separately. By the way, by analogy — here's how companies like   crunchbase.com   cope with cross-platform tasks.

Summersagamods.com is a popular adult-themed visual novel game set in a lively suburban town. Follow the main character as he navigates school life, relationships, and mysterious secrets. With engaging storylines and regular updates, it keeps players coming back for more.

From what I’ve tested, heavy Windows games don’t run well on Remix OS unless you go through Wine on Android-x86, and even then performance is hit-or-miss because of DirectX limitations. That’s why most people stick with games that are natively optimized for Android they run smoother and don’t need extra wrappers.

One good example is Manok na Pula 🐓 — it’s not graphics-intensive but surprisingly addictive with its PvP battles and upgrades. Since it’s designed for Android, it works perfectly on Remix OS without any tweaking. If anyone’s looking for something fun to play while experimenting with emulators, this is worth a try manoknapulapk.com
