For those who have used and know about Droid Deck, Game Native and Winlator

15 hours ago by carloslomas0 to c/android

Do you think Droid Deck is comparable in its current status to Game Native and Winlator? And if not, do you know if at some point Droid Deck could achieve better performance than Game Native and Winlator? Or, it will be always only on par with them? I don't know that much about the FEX translation layer, Proton in ARM and the difference between these 3.

GameNative performs better right now. But I can't predict the future.

I have used GameNative and it works okay, but I don't have a Snapdragon device so it doesn't have the best results. I know there are lots of videos on Droid Deck on Android handhelds with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and indie titles run fine for the most part. Have not tried it myself though, but it seems neat and will only improve from now!

I'm not really familiar with how Droid Deck works but I imagine that having to emulate Linux for the Steam launcher and all of that on top of the game does incur an additional cost that Game Native and Winlator doesn't have. If someone with better knowledge of how it works could chime in that'd be great.
