Interesting, I've not heard of this one before. Most of the emulation community has settled on 'Winlator' as the main android windows emu of choice. Before this it was Exagear, but winlator is easier to get started with. Another route is using proof termux with a DE like xfce and connecting with X but not sure how good this setup is for pure gaming performance, but may be a good option for Dev work.

Winlator will still be the best option in the near future but the community has been really wanting alternatives since Winlator isn't fully open source. The lead dev develops outside of the repo and appears every few months with an update, but never released the source code for the newest version (8.0)

Now the community is split into multiple forks of version 7.1 in order to add new features & fixes, like Winlator Frost and coffincolors' fork. It's hampering progress and makes the scene very confusing to navigate, so we're rooting for a neater alternative, whether that's MiceWine or whatever else is coming up.

Mobox is actually probably still more performant than winlator but it's a pain to set it up. Winlator did make a huge jump in performance lately as well. Maybe the difference is not that much anymore.
