Probably. People on r/EmulationOnAndroid have noted that shifting over to PulseAudio has led to more stable audio performance (less stuttering/latency).
I guess thats been my setting and it still crashes. Its odd, that seems to be the only one that refuses to play for me
When does it crash?
On load up. If i go into file manager and click on the exe then the screen will go black for like a minute and then bounce me back to the previous screen. If i use the container and click on the exe then i just stays on the desktop screen
Itâs odd how FE7Lex is the only game youâre having issue with. They all pretty much run on the same engine. In any case, try VirGL, WineD3D, and the Compatibility preset in the Box64 Preset for your container. If that fails, then fiddle around your Direct settings in Win Components.
Past that, I may have a shot in the dark: something may have went wrong when you were extracting or copying over the files and LT is complaining that a critical file is missing. Go enable your debug and logging in Settings and check what winlator-logs.txt is saying.
This is what the log says. Im thinking maybe your right about it not extracting currently. Missing the library?
Perhaps. But Iâm not getting anything from half of like four lines. Can you send the whole log? It should be in Documents by default.
I found the file but it 0b. Hitting the save button doesnt seem to do anything (i can be a bit computer illiterate, sorry). I did take another few screen shots to show what that whole line says.
Im about to travel back home but ill mess around with it more once im back.
Maybe weâre overthinking the problem and itâs just a matter of some files being corrupted. Maybe due to an antivirus? It only happens in FE7Lex for you. Are you putting the archive on your phone and extracting there or copy and pasting the files from another device?
dnsapi and libresolv crop up in OS land and are modules involved in connecting to the internet, so I donât think theyâre whatâs causing the crash. LT doesnât connect to the internet, right? For a more verbose log, press that + under Enable Wine Debug and tick everything that starts with dll, dx, d3d, d2d, and opengl. Maybe youâll catch what happens before that termination log.
You can also try reinstalling system files. Thereâs a button at the bottom. Maybe itâs just Android being Android.
You can also try to find your LT crash logs. Theyâre probably in the usual place. Check the discord.

Im downloading the archive and then extracting it. I have a few ideas i want to try out but ya, something is corrupted along the way i think.
Edit: progress report. I was looking thru my files and somehow every image was in my picture gallery. I got rid of it and re-download the wjole thing. After that i notice a compressed file in the data. I extracted it and deleted the compressed version and got this error
So i restored it and it ran!!! hurray they all say
BUT then the text got all bleedy
So now im working on that

Why im so slowđ, im so confuse can anyone send video tutorialđ
Lmao howâd that happen? Glad you got it sorted.
Finally, something that I know stuff about. This is an issue with your graphics driver settings. Try cycling through Turnip, VirGL, and DXVK. One of those should work since youâre on an SG2. Itâs a very well-documented chip in terms of Windows emulation on Android.
Next year, on FEE3 2025⌠Eretein finally sells out and records an early 2000s style tutorial on how to emulate LT on Android, complete with the bandicam banner. She turns in two videos instead of one to chase massive cloutâŚ
On a serious note, Iâm sorry youâre having trouble. Just go through the instructions one step at a time. If you have questions about a specific part, Iâll be happy to help as much as I can.

Success!!!
After all the tinkering i was finally able to solve it somehow. The last are the settings that finally worked for me.
Thank you so much for your patience and help thruout this

Cool! Glad to see you got it working.
So on your device, CNC DDRaw works with FE7Lex, but not WineD3D? How is FPS? Curious because that wrapperâs for older classic games. Got me thinking that maybe I should run some benchmarks if your frames are decent.

LTPhone does somehow perform better during its more intensive scenes with CNC DDraw. Itâs definitely a tweak that everyone should try out. Good work bringing this to light.

UPDATE
As my Christmas present to yâall, I finally discovered how to configure HorizonEmu for custom screen sizes. Discovered, because apparently itâs always been able to do borderless and immersive fullscreen mode like Winlator can. The option is just hidden behind sketchy UI decisions, whereas itâs immediately apparent in Winlator. Or it could just be me being dumb. Anyway.
Fullscreen on HorizonEmu:
- Go to
X11 Settingsand pressDisplay resolution mode -> custom. This enables another button that lets you input a custom resolution.
- Input the resolution of your game into the box. See the pinned directory. I believe youâll have to do this every time you want to play a game with a custom resolution.
However, you still have to use InputBridge for controls, so that remains a point in Winlatorâs favour.
New LTPad Preset
My second present to yâall is a new LTPad preset that ditches the (afaik useless) mousepad in favour of fitting both an analogue stick and a d-pad onto the screen. The LTPad download link has been updated.

Update Announcement
Winlator 9.0 has been released, featuring native vortek drivers that should theoretically improve performance on graphically intensive games (itâs a hit or miss lol).
However, 9.0 is an experimental build that (after testing) makes destructive changes to how the emulator handles graphics drivers. I suggest sticking to Winlator 8.0 since this version has been battle-tested on LT and wonât be prone to hotfixes in the next couple of weeks.
Those couple of weeks have passed and people have run the batteries on Winlator 9.0, so to speak. Updating should be safe and should net a tiny performance increase.
Getting down to brass tacks: Winlator 9.0 ships with Box64 v.0.3.2 out of the box. What we need to emulate LT is v0.3.0. Upon updating to 9.0, youâll need to go to Settings -> Box64, then set the version to v0.3.0, and press the save button at the bottom-right. If v0.3.0 isnât there, you have to install it by pressing the download button (just to the right). This is a setting you need to tweak if youâre seeing smeared lines on in-game text.
Performance gains using the Vortek drivers are on a per-device and on a per-game basis. Welcome to Android land lol. This means youâll have to run the batteries yourself. But feel free to ask questions and share your data!
