Installation Guide MangoHud

To install MangoHud (a performance monitoring overlay) by default in Winlator, follow these steps:

---

1. Prepare MangoHud Files

• Download the latest Windows-compatible version of MangoHud:

  • Repository: MangoHud Releases
  • Choose the Windows version (e.g., MangoHud-X.X.X-Win64.zip).

• Extract the files to a convenient location (e.g., the Winlator folder: C:\Program Files\MangoHud).

---

2. Integrate with Winlator

• Open Winlator and navigate to the emulator (container) settings.
• Under System Settings → DLL Overrides, add:

  d3dcompiler_47=n,b
  dxgi=n,b
  

• In the Environment Variables section, set:

  MANGOHUD=1
  MANGOHUD_CONFIG=position=top-left,font_size=24
  

---

3. Add MangoHud to the Wine Prefix

• Copy the mangohud.dll and mangohud.json files from the extracted MangoHud folder to:
  • The Wine folder: drive_c/windows/system32/ (for 64-bit systems).
  • Or drive_c/windows/syswow64/ (for 32-bit applications).

---

4. Configure Game Launch Options

In the game’s launch settings within Winlator, add:

mangohud.exe %command%

or specify the path to mangohud.dll via an environment variable:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dxgi=mangohud" %command%

---

5. Verify Functionality

Launch the game — a performance overlay (showing CPU/GPU usage, FPS, etc.) should appear in the top-left corner.

---

Additional Notes

• MangoHud Configuration:
  Create a mangohud.conf file in the game’s directory or C:\Program Files\MangoHud to customize displayed metrics (see the official documentation).

• Troubleshooting:

  • If the overlay doesn’t appear, check:
    • Correct DLL file paths.
    • Graphics API settings (Vulkan/OpenGL/DXVK).
    • Update Winlator to the latest version.

---

Note: Some games may conflict with MangoHud. If issues occur, disable the overlay by setting MANGOHUD=0 in the environment variables.

Where do I find such a windows version? I looked through every release and couldn't find a ****win64.zip package

That's because there is no windows version. Guide above is probably GPT generated
