Bannerlator

Bannerlator 1.7

Run Windows apps and games on Android — no PC and no root required.

✨ What's New

🎮 Steam store — downloads fixed

Steam game downloads that failed with "Download failed: Unknown error" now work. Two separate bugs were fixed:

  • A login race during Steam connection cycling — a download could start before the session finished re-logging-on after a reconnect, so the depot-manifest request timed out.
  • The full BouncyCastle crypto provider was never registered, so saving a depot manifest crashed with a SHA-1 for provider BC error. The bundled provider is now installed at startup.

🧩 Components installer

A new in-container Components menu installs Wine dependencies into a container's prefix from a browsable catalog — mono, gecko, .NET, vcredist, d3dx and more. It supports both file-drop installs and an execute engine for .NET/vcredist-style installers, a Win7/WinXP mode, and a persisted "Installed" status per container.

🎚️ On-screen overlay opacity

The overlay-opacity slider moved into the in-game side menu (Controls tab). It's now live and a true 0–100 % — 0 % makes the overlay fully invisible.

📊 FPS overlay improvements

Tap the overlay to toggle its vertical / horizontal orientation live, and it now shows a live D3D API label so you can see at a glance whether the game is running on VKD3D or DXVK.

🖥️ Scrollable Advanced Vulkan dialogs

The Advanced Vulkan / Graphics Driver configuration dialogs no longer cut off on smaller screens — they scroll.

🎞️ Video playback

Bundled the full ffmpeg-8 libraries for winedmo, improving in-game video / FMV decode.

📦 The ffmpeg-8 libraries live inside imageFS, so a normal app update won't add them on its own. Reinstall imageFS (see below) to get the improved video / FMV playback.

⚠️ Updating from an older version — please reinstall imageFS

This release adds the ffmpeg-8 libraries to imageFS, so reinstalling imageFS is recommended to get the improved video / FMV decode. It's also the fix if a game fails to start after updating.

How: open the app's Settings → scroll to the bottom → Reinstall ImageFS.
