## What it is
Box64Droid is a set of Python scripts that automate installing a preconfigured rootfs with Box64, Box86, Wine, DXVK, and D8VK on Android, enabling x86_64 (and x86) PC applications to run on ARM Android devices. It was a pioneering project for 64-bit PC emulation on Android but active development ended at the end of 2024.

## Use cases
- run x86_64 Windows applications on Android
- run Wine on an Android phone or tablet
- play PC games on Android via Box64 and DXVK
- set up a Box64 chroot environment in Termux automatically
- run 32-bit x86 apps on ARM Android with Box86

## When to choose
- you want a quick automated setup of Box64/Wine on Android without manual configuration
- you are on an older Android setup and want the classic Box64Droid environment
- you want to explore a historical pioneer of x86 emulation on Android

## When to avoid
- you want actively maintained components or up-to-date Box64/Wine versions
- you prefer a modern GUI-based emulator or launcher for Android
- you need documentation and guides, which are no longer provided
