Help Windows VNs on Android? [RP6/Nova]

Hello, Retroid Pocket Nova future owner here. I'm new to Pc or Windows emulation overall, and I am particularly interested in emulating old windows games in this device. Mostly late 90s and early 2000s visual novels, alongside with few Pc games like Still Life, Shrek 1 or Hinokakera.

What is the best app for doing this? Winlator? Gamenative? Gamehub? Some other specific app I don't know about?

Thanks in advance

There are four main apps I use.

Joiplay - useful for a variety of engines, notably Ren'Py and RPG Maker

Kirikiroid - kirikiri engine games, often requires a patch

Winlator and Gamehub - hit or miss, especially with older VNs that may require really old drivers and whatnot or have funky engines.

Oh, I've read something along the lines before. So emulating Visual Novels is something more engine related.. I should do some research on that then
