Prerelease 2 of Winlator skyNET 2.0.0. Fixes and additions since prerelease 1. Everything else from prerelease 1 (single registry, + → For a game, global Lossless.dll, the new Components screen, skippable first-run setup) is unchanged.

What's new since prerelease 1

  • Importing a container now installs the packages it downloads. Before, the importer unpacked and validated a missing package (Proton, DXVK, drivers) but never moved it into place, so container creation failed with an empty runtime path. This affected every .wcp an import had to download.
  • Stable / Prerelease badges. Registry entries can carry a channel (stable or prerelease); components, drivers and game configs show a green Stable or orange Prerelease badge. Entries without a channel show no badge.
  • Runtime names may carry labels. Wine/Proton packages named like exp-cachyos-11.0-20261005-x86_64 are now recognised. Before, such a name did not match the app's identifier pattern, so the app fell back to the bundled runtime and container creation failed.
  • Driver installer accepts bundle zips. Zips with the driver in an android/ folder (for example Droid-Deck's DD-Turnip) and zips with subfolders now install; unsafe zip paths are refused and the temp folder is cleaned properly.
  • Clearer failures when creating a container: the log now says whether the runtime, the prefix pack or the Wine DLL copy failed.
  • Add-component skill in the repository (.claude/skills/add-component) documenting how components are checked, found, built, released and registered.

Things to know

  • Experimental Proton from the registry. exp-cachyos-11.0-20261005-x86_64 is CachyOS Wine rebuilt for Android; it is listed as a prerelease. See its release.
  • Lossless.dll is not included. Import your own copy under Settings → Components → Frame Generation.
  • The APK is signed with a debug key and keeps the package name com.winlator.cmod.dev. Updating from prerelease 1 works over the top and keeps your data; a differently signed build requires uninstalling first.
  • Nothing is bundled for offline use: a fresh install needs a network connection to list components.
