I tried using Pluvia but can't. Pluvia keeps crashing for some reason.

And I tried using Winlator, but can't get it to work for some reason (I can't find the backup file where you're supposed to deposit the setup.exe file to play games on Winlator).

How do you get Winlator and Pluvia to work?

And how do I play Disco Elysium: The Final Cut and Devil May Cry 1 to 4 on RetroArch?

Is emulation on Android tablets that far behind?

[–] KvasiroftheWoods@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Emulation is quite robust on Android via multiple emulators for various consoles. However, what you're asking is full virtualization of an operating system (Windows 10 or higher in this case) which just isn't viable on an Android tablet due to it being an ARM processor device, and many tablets being relatively low-spec. You need a fair amount of horsepower to run an OS on a VM at a decent speed. Even on a desktop computer or laptop playing games ends up being slower due to not accessing the video card directly (I believe, don't quote me, but it is slower generally especially for more graphic intensive games). Here is a thread on Reddit where someone asked the same question which provides some more thorough answers than what I just wrote: https://red.ngn.tf/r/virtualization/comments/l84esp/how_to_run_windows_10_on_a_virtual_machine_on/. Your best bet in this case is using some type of game streaming service that has an Android client and Disco Elysium on their catalog, otherwise there isn't a chance that you'll be able to accomplish this.

The thing is, my tablet is not "low spec," it's even kinda designed for gaming.

But yeah, streaming might be for the best.

I don't know. It's not something I follow. I only wanted to suggest some alternative ways.

Thank you all the same!
