Stadia is built on a separate software platform that is closest to Linux.\u00a0This means that ready-made games do not start there just like that.\u00a0Apparently, before\u00a0Google<\/b>\u00a0and its partners were engaged in full-fledged porting, and now they are preparing a universal compatibility layer like Proton.<\/p>\n
Information about this was\u00a0found\u00a0in the description of the report\u00a0by Marcin Undak<\/u>\u00a0, a specialist from the Stadia porting team.<\/p>\n
How to write a Windows emulator for Linux from scratch?\u00a0A detailed breakdown of the technology behind Google’s decision to run unmodified Windows games on Stadia.\u00a0This is a deep technical analysis of some of the basic concepts that will allow curious programmers to better understand such technologies and potentially create their own.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Probably, with the help of the emulator , Google is trying to breathe more life into Stadia: according to rumors and indirect signs, everything is bad with the platform – so much so that they are even trying to turn it into a business service instead of a gaming platform. If Stadia has a miracle emulator that eliminates the hassle of porting, then hypothetically the platform will be more attractive to developers.<\/p>\nGoogle is preparing an analogue of Proton, which will allow you to easily run Windows games on Linux<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Google ‘s emulator targets are similar to Steam Deck’s Proton targets, a skin developed by Valve in collaboration with CodeWeavers . However, Proton is open to the community and developed with the support of craftsmen. In the comments , they fear that the Google emulator will repeat the deplorable fate of many other corporation projects and disappear immediately after the company loses interest in it.<\/p>\n
Competitors also use software simplification tactics to fill their cloud service library with games: for example, good old Windows beats at the heart of Amazon Luna. However, Amazon is still hiring engineers familiar with Proton for Luna – maybe something will change in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
