Winlator fork tuned for running OpenGOAL (Jak and Daxter / Jak II / Jak 3) on Android handhelds.

What's new in this fork

  • Box64 0.4.5, rebuilt from source against Winlator's bundled glibc rootfs. Fixes a GLIBC symbol-version mismatch that crashed newer box64 builds on launch, and gives a real framerate improvement over the stock 0.4.0 build (Jak II: ~25-31fps to a stable 60fps on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2).
  • Extreme Box64 preset for a further speed boost on titles that tolerate it.
  • Home screen shortcuts: pin any container shortcut straight to your device's home screen.
  • Working gamepad vibration: rumble is now detected live from actual hardware instead of requiring a manual checkbox.

Setup

Full walkthrough (including why a one-time PC step is required, and screenshots for every non-obvious setting) is in the README.

Attached to this release:

  • Winlator-OpenGOAL.apk — install this on your device
  • prepare-opengoal-game.ps1 — Windows helper script that builds the correct folder structure for Jak 1/2/3 after you've extracted your game with OpenGOAL's own tools

Requirements

See the Requirements section in the README. Short version: ARM64 Android device, Vulkan-capable GPU, and a PC to run OpenGOAL's extractor once per game (using your own legally-owned copy of each game).
