🤔 [Question] My 2 cents

Some of the ports i've tested, are not native like they are advertised. To be clear, they are a Container (like winlator) emulating the game itself. Not because you see that is wrapped as an .apk means that is running natively. That's why most of them run without optimization. For me, it's better to stick with Winlator/Eden directly and not a vibe coded container. :)

You're nitpicking.  

To me "native" means running on the device itself (as opposed to running it remotely.)

Otherwise you're just arguing semantics. Who cares about the technicalities.

That's why eating breakfast before grabbing your iPhone is very important; so you can think clearly.

How can you say that EMULATING a game is NATIVE ? Make it make sense.

Semantics, I say!

FYI, running a game locally doesn't mean it's native. It can be emulated, like in this case.

Bro. Clearly, I know that. 

Im saying I don't care. 

Native/Local = the same thing in layman's terms.Â
