The record

Purpose: Bannerlator runs Windows applications and games on Android using Wine and Box64/86.
Project status: The maker describes Bannerlator as a personal continuation of the discontinued Winlator Star Bionic project, built for the maker’s own hardware and workflow.
Android requirement: The listed minimum Android version is Android 8.0 (SDK 26).
Graphics: The app supports X11 and an experimental Wayland display backend; Wayland requires an Adreno GPU and a compatible Proton layer.
Game stores: The app describes sign-in, library browsing, and game downloads or launches for Steam, Epic Games, Amazon Games, and GOG.
Steam Linux client: Version 3.1.3 offers an optional experimental ARM64 Linux Steam client download, with games running through Valve’s ARM64 Proton.
Other features: The project lists frame generation, per-game graphics settings, touch controls, controller support, and save backup or synchronization features.
Compatibility limit: The maker says the optional Linux Steam client works only with Adreno GPUs and requires Android’s “Disable child process restrictions” developer setting.
Account security: The maker warns that built-in third-party store sign-ins are used at the user’s risk and says store credentials and sensitive tokens are redacted from logs.
Support: The maker says the project has no support commitment and that reports for setups the maker does not use may be closed.
Bug reports: The project links a public Mali GPU game-report board where reports have discussion threads that can be replied to without an account or password.
Distribution: Stable builds are published as GitHub Releases, and the project says it is built via GitHub Actions only.
License: The project states that Bannerlator is licensed under GPL-3.0.
No PC or root: The full-features section says Bannerlator requires no PC and no root.
