🍷 Proton 11.0-1 — FEX unixlib support · arm64ec (bionic)

Stock Valve Proton 11.0-1 (final), recompiled from source against Android bionic for arm64ec — a drop-in Wine/Proton runtime for Winlator-bionic emulators, now with the FEX unixlib loader built in.

✨ What it provides / does

  • 🎮 Runs Windows games on Android (arm64ec) — via Wine + FEX or wowbox64
  • 🆕 Latest Valve Proton 11.0-1 base — not an old snapshot
  • ⚡ Fast-yield gate — opt-in (WINE_FAST_YIELD=1) fix for the bug that pins one CPU core at 100%; better perf/battery
  • 🪝 FEX unixlib loader — can load FEX's native .so add-on (the new thing we built); future-proofs you for when FEX makes it required
  • 📁 Auto-finds the FEX .so — searches the right folder on its own, so no app change needed
  • 🧩 Works with any FEXCore version — not locked to one
  • 🎞️ Video / FMV — ships winedmo (built against ffmpeg-8); actual decoding needs the emulator app's imagefs to supply the ffmpeg-8 libs (current Bannerlator / WinNative do), else it falls back to gstreamer.
  • 🖼️ Graphics via DXVK / VKD3D → Vulkan (Turnip / Adreno)
  • 🔄 esync + fsync + ntsync — modern threading for heavy games
  • 🤖 Bionic — works on Bannerlator, WinNative, and other Winlator-bionic apps

In one sentence: it's your current, sync-modern, fast-yield-capable Proton 11 that also loads the FEX unixlib on its own with no app changes — the build that keeps working when FEX makes the unixlib mandatory.

🌙 Matching FEX unixlib builds (Nightlies)

The unixlib loader stays dormant until you install a matched -unix FEXCore. Grab one from the Nightlies:

➡️ https://github.com/The412Banner/Nightlies/releases

Look for the -unix assets on the latest build, e.g. FEX-…-Nightly-…-unix.wcp (standard) or FEX-…-PPA-unix.wcp (PPA). Install that alongside this Proton and the .so companion is picked up automatically — no app change.

⚠️ Use the Nightlies -unix builds specifically — not other ports. Older/other FEX -unix wcps (e.g. nicholasx417's) leave shm_open/shm_unlink unresolved — Android's bionic doesn't provide those symbols, so the .so fails to dlopen and silently falls back to the DLL (the unixlib never actually loads). The Nightlies builds compile in stubs for those two functions, so the .so loads correctly. Games run fine either way; only whether the unixlib engages differs.

📦 Which file do I want?

Your device Pick
Newer device / Android 15+ / 16KB pages …-sdk35.wcp
Everything else (API 28, 4KB pages) …-sdk28.wcp

.wcp = ready to install · .wcp.xz = smaller download, extract first. All assets are arm64ec.

🧩 Compatible with

  • Apps: Bannerlator, WinNative, and other Winlator-bionic / Cmod-lineage emulators (bionic ABI, /system/bin/linker64)
  • Translators: FEXCore (any version) or wowbox64 for x86 / x86_64
  • Graphics: DXVK / VKD3D-Proton → Vulkan (Turnip / Adreno)

⚠️ Notes

  • arm64ec requires a fresh container.
  • This is stock Valve Proton, not GE-Proton — no GE game-fixes / FSR / OptiScaler tier.
  • The FEX unixlib loader is build-ahead: games run identically today (FEX DLLs are still self-contained); it future-proofs you for when FEX ships thin DLLs that need the native .so.

Base: Valve proton-11.0-1 (final) · Wine unix side built with Android NDK r27d · DLL trees: aarch64-windows (arm64ec) + i386-windows + x86_64-windows.

This was inspired by and built off the WinNative teams work originally
