This guide will utilize Winlator, a Windows emulator, as a workaround solution for Android users to have a taste of modding on mobile, as the modding rule is still strict on modding mobile devices.

  1. Winlator is a windows emulator so yes, technically it's modding on windows
  2. It will be significantly slower to load, display and calculate than actual PC, depends on your hardware and mod counts.
  3. Please do not discuss the actual porting of mods on mobile app, that will certainly violate the rule.

Also, if I put my current save in there from the start, will it skip the tutotiial?

rare kayak
#

Well lett's try this out

#

zipping it and sending it to myself on telegram because I'm waaaay too lazy for adb

woven pagoda
#

That's easier

rare kayak
#

also I forgot justy... usb c file transferring exists

#

not like it has to go anywhere special

#

lmfao

#

this is still easier thoiugh

woven pagoda
#

Let me know if there's any problem

rare kayak
#

there doesn't seem to be a 'confirm' button for controls settings

#

I'm using the newest release of winlator, I think it was pretty recent, so might be newer than what you're on

woven pagoda
#

I Am on latest

rare kayak
#

hmmmm

#

weird

#

does text input just work for you?

woven pagoda
#

Text input?

#

There's a keyboard in side bar

rare kayak
#

maybe 'm just missing it

woven pagoda
#

Press return

rare kayak
#

on what? I have no keyboard thatt I can see

woven pagoda
#

Back button that makes you go back a page or something

rare kayak
#

oh lol

#

that's unintuitive

woven pagoda
#

Yeah I did not recall how I figured this out

#

Balatro on Winlator (within Android environment)

pure widget
#

Balatro just crashes for me after loading

woven pagoda
#

Did you install Steamodded

pure widget
#

This is how my paths look like

#

Oh and I added the version to wine config as well

#

When creating the container, should I just create a default container or do I need to actually change some settings in there?

rare kayak
#

I did notice there was no box86 option to change

#

only box64

pure widget
#

Oh yeah that too

woven pagoda
#

Try to install only Steamodded

#

No other mods

pure widget
#

This is on the 2 week ago release of Winlator

rare kayak
#

lol

#

but ofc I had to try

woven pagoda
#

Some mods work on PC but will just crash on Winlator

pure widget
#

Or does that install automagically upon balatro boot

woven pagoda
#

Lovely is injector not mod

#

Just lovely and Steamodded, and see if it boots

pure widget
#

there is a lovely folder inside mods though

#

Even though the installation calls to add a .dll to balatro main directory

woven pagoda
#

That is normal behavior

rare kayak
pure widget
#

Ok

rare kayak
#

and not something to worry about deleting

pure widget
#

Oh!

rare kayak
#

do or dont it doesn't mattter

pure widget
#

It booted

rare kayak
#

ayyyy

pure widget
woven pagoda
#

Now simply sort out the crashing mod

pure widget
#

There any way I could increase framerate? It's kinda shit

woven pagoda
woven pagoda
pure widget
#

lol no I am regarded

#

Or at least I don't think so, I did set the very first one I made but then I made another one

#

Lemme check

woven pagoda
#

It helps but probably not much since, you know, it's not as powerful as pc

pure widget
#

I mean yeah but mobile balatro works flawlessly

woven pagoda
#

It's because the game is running on a layer of translation from windows to android

#

Hence the game is laggy

#

Playable, but laggy

pure widget
#

damn

woven pagoda
#

What phone are you using?

pure widget
#

xiaomi 11t pro

#

At its time, it had pretty identical specs to s21 ultra

woven pagoda
#

I'm on s23

pure widget
#

I'm talking about chipsets

woven pagoda
#

I know it's all about chipsets and ram

pure widget
#

ye

#

8gb ram I believe

woven pagoda
#

Probably mess around in the container settings a bit more

#

See if there's a better setting

#

How much fps you have

pure widget
#

Yeah it's on stability mode

#

I added more video ram

#

Dunno if that's actually what happens

#

would lowering or increasing the resolution actually help?

rare kayak
#

and I'll mess around with this later, I probably still just have too many mods installed, and well... if I can only get it to run without the mods I like, then I may as well just play the mobile port (which I bought a while ago)

#

I did try deleting jimbo's and ortalab

#

no change

#

I don't have evolution

woven pagoda
rare kayak
#

It also might be breaking it that I left my save file and profile in there

#

I just need to do testing when I feel like it

woven pagoda
#

Fair

pure widget
#

To install the fine tuned pack should I use the batch file inside of wine or do I just copy the Mods folder or the mods from Fine-tuned-Pack?

woven pagoda
#

Copy

pure widget
#

The Mods folder with 86 mods or the 66 mods inside of Fine-tuned-Pack

woven pagoda
#

And...it probably won't boot with all the mods

#

What?

pure widget
#

Inside the Fine-tuned-Pack folder is this:

woven pagoda
#

Why is Fine-tuned pack there

pure widget
#

I dunno

#

Probably got created when I ran the bat file

woven pagoda
#

Yeah only copy Mods folder

pure widget
#

From the fine tuned pack folder or from the actual Roaming\Balatro path?

woven pagoda
#

See if you want 86 mods or 66 mods

pure widget
#

🤔

#

Yeah so the batch file clones the repo wherever the batch file is

woven pagoda
#

The mods folder outside is full pack right

pure widget
#

Then from the repo into the Mods path

woven pagoda
pure widget
#

Clean install

#

Yeah so it should actually be 66 mods

woven pagoda
#

Yeah seems about right

#

Also if you think that is too laggy to be playable, maybe you don't want to install too many mods

pure widget
#

No it's definitely playable

#

I was just used to the mobile version framerate

#

Since screen is in 120 hz as well lol

woven pagoda
#

Yeah I know

rare kayak
#

maybe one day steam will come to android and include proton, unlikely, but possible

pure widget
#

Isn't proton just linux

woven pagoda
#

Very unlikely 🤔

rare kayak
pure widget
#

Yeah

rare kayak
#

which is why wine works too (I think)

#

well no

#

86box more so

#

though including 86box along with proton in a steam play compatibility tool would technically be feaible

woven pagoda
#

Maybe

#

But still depends on valve to decide

rare kayak
#

indeed

pure widget
#

ok, 66 modpack installed

#

Time to see if it wants to boot

#

do mods have inter-dependencies or can I just randomly delete from them to thin out the load?

woven pagoda
#

For Fine-tuned, it is fine

#

-tuned

pure widget
#

It booted!

woven pagoda
#

Really

pure widget
#

Yup

woven pagoda
#

Didn't expect that

pure widget
#

Fps seems to hover at around 37-38 in main menu

#

idle

woven pagoda
#

It's always not booting for me using full modpack

pure widget
#

I installed only fine tuned

#

67 files in the Mods folder

woven pagoda
#

Ok, that's good to know

pure widget
#

Now how do I get rid of the cursor and change to touch screen?

woven pagoda
#

That's not possible iirc

rare kayak
woven pagoda
#

At least I don't think I managed to set it at all

rare kayak
pure widget
#

I mean touch to click

rare kayak
#

but yeah idk about actual real touchscreen support

rare kayak
pure widget
#

Quick google says there is a modded version of winlator that does this

rare kayak
#

your quick google was better than mine

#

lol

#

I got this nonsense

rare kayak
#

hmmm....

#

This looks like ai garbage like the other results, but the site links the real github

#

so idk if that's true or not

rare kayak
#

I did think you essentially meant touich to click

#

but I was thinking of it less as a "custom" input method, and more as just... how touch screen inoput has worked in windows for like a decade+

pure widget
#

Yeah but this is wine

#

It's not real windows I don't think

rare kayak
#

because linux does too

woven pagoda
#

I am testing

#

Well uh afei mod version seems to have touch to click

#

But it's all in Chinese so that won't help at all

pure widget
#

Hmmmmmmm

woven pagoda
#

Balatro on Winlator (Android)

woven pagoda
#

This setting seems quite a bit better. It runs quite smooth with only occasional stuttering

rare kayak
#

@woven pagoda do you ever use this with Samsung dex. if so how do you get clicking while using the phone as a track pad to work?

#

(My computers screen broke and I can't even connect it to the 12 in external "tablet style" monitor I have because my only hdmi to mini hdmi cable I can find broke, so I have to use USB c to connect it to my phone instead to get any sort of 'computer' experience right this moment)

woven pagoda
#

I will say probably don't try that 🤪

rare kayak
#

Lol, why not. It looks great. Runs good too. Just can't click

woven pagoda
#

Oh

#

Can't click on screen?

rare kayak
#

Nope. I figured out how to inconsistently right click, but not left click for the life of me

#

It works fine in phone mode, but it's be really cool to get it working on dex mode

#

The clicks go to the winlator interface just fine, but not the actual wine environment

woven pagoda
#

I think I have tried dex once but it was with a dongle

#

Which has HDMI and USB ports

rare kayak
#

Yeah with no dongle. your phone acts your input devices

woven pagoda
#

So I just plug in mouse and keyboard

rare kayak
#

Clicking works fine on android, just not in wine. It's unfortunate

woven pagoda
#

I don't have the proper things to set up dex right now tho so I don't know

rare kayak
#

No worries

#

I just happened to have a little monitor with USB c input from when my last laptop screem broke

woven pagoda
#

What's in your input control outside containers?

rare kayak
#

Like what can I change, or what works? Everything works input-wise outside containers

#

My phone works as a track pad, and it brings up the normal Samsung keyboard for text input

woven pagoda
#

This

rare kayak
woven pagoda
#

No external controllers?

rare kayak
#

Nope, not even when I actually boot dex

woven pagoda
#

Yeah you might want to try other emus see if you have luck

#

Like mobox

rare kayak
#

I'll look into it

rare kayak
#

@woven pagoda what kinda fps are you getting. In point getting about 20-30 which is plenty playable, in just curious how it conpares

#

It might also be because I have it in 1080p

woven pagoda
#

About the same

rare kayak
# woven pagoda Like mobox

So update on this. I got vanilla balatro working on dex and being able to click using termux-desktop along with the mobox version of wine, but I can't for the life if me get that version of wine file to copy. So can't set up modded

#

Termux:x11 has thus option, which I'm pretty sure is what makes it work properly (the capturing

rare kayak
#

Almost there. I figured out I just needed to make fi the file management stuff from the actual mobox environment. Now, modded tried too launch big crashed x11, lol

rare kayak
#

Huh that's weird. I didn't change anything

#

For the game itself I mean

#

Mobox on Termux desktop, not winlator

atomic cradle
#

playing balatro on termux 💀

#

atp just port lovely dumps

rare kayak
#

But that's ill-eagle for the purposes of this server, lol

atomic cradle
#

eh

#

termux desktop is android basically

#

as far as i know

rare kayak
#

But it's emulation, the windows part

#

Just like winlator

#

That's what makes it not 'porting'

#

I'm also too lazy to figure out how to port the lovely dumps, especially without my computer running

atomic cradle
#

well i feel like

#

cuz u have to do a lot more for windows emulation

rare kayak
#

Winlator works fine

#

Just can't get mouse input to work on dex

#

So I was/am trying other things

atomic cradle
#

actually i could try poor thing love leave dumps

rare kayak
#

I got the cord to be able to use my laptop with my little monitor though, so I might not bother for now and just use winlator to play it on my phone when I want

rare kayak
atomic cradle
#

no i dont want to get banned

rare kayak
#

Lol fair

#

Just talk about this stuff elsewhere if you do it. It's not like it's actually illegal

atomic cradle
#

im a bit stupid

#

compressed the whole folder instead of just the files

#

now im rly confused

#

im sure i compacted only the files

rare kayak
#

What's the context?

rare kayak
#

so, my computer managed to self-heal so I won't need to even use my external monitor

sick dome
#

ok so I have an issue

no clue how to get steam workin on winlator

rare kayak
sick dome
#

ah

#

well, I dont think I can make this work then unfortunately

#

ty for trying though, usually people would be like "get a computer lmao"

woven pagoda
#

There's steamcmd you can use to download the game filez

rare kayak
sick dome
sick dome
#

im a bit late but steamcmd is not working either

#

I sorta judt give up tbh

woven pagoda
#

It doesn't work?

sick dome
#

it tries to update but gets stuck at 0%, I assume its the same reason as steam where it cant connect to the internet for some reason

#

I just have to wait, I guess

woven pagoda
#

You need to login first

#

I believe you do login username

sick dome
#

i cant even do that, its stuck here

#

typing does nothing

woven pagoda
#

Oh, can you try install mono and gecko in the start menu

#

And then try again

sick dome
#

i already have

woven pagoda
#

Thenbalatrojoker

woven pagoda
#

I can never figure out why some mods just don't want to work on Winlator (did I rant about this before I forgot)

#

Also everytime it's some different mod combinations

rare kayak
#

I switched to a fork and fiddled with the settings been having less crashes I think

#

It doesn't have an 8.0 release yet though

#

These are the settings I have atm. I dunno what does and doesn't help. Nor what would also help on the main one

#

Haven't updated my mods on winlator for a while either

woven pagoda
#

Huh

#

I cannot believe I have been sleeping on modded Winlator for so long

white badger
#

Hey guys

#

Typically when I downloaded apk's it doesn't warn me is this normal

woven pagoda
#

I'll suggest you download modded version of Winlator instead

lost quartz
woven pagoda
#

Yes

lost quartz
#

I can’t see anything that would forbid modding the Android version on the rules channel could you give a screenshot of it? Sorry for being a hassle

woven pagoda
lost quartz
#

Oh ok I can’t see that one

#

Oh nvm I found the modding rules now

tiny mason
lilac kettle
#

Is there any way to do this without a PC? Or does anyone have an APK file with the mods already installed?

#

I take it back, not an APK of the game itself, but the files to put into the game (and which version) so that it works.

#

there is ways

#

i have ways

#

i guess

#

Can you send them to me?
