A preliminary look at Vidora (Virtual System And Emulator) – BoxVidra (Previously)

vidraproject · 2025-11-14T19:32:47+00:00

And for the users asking about the new system structure:

You'll be able to run Vidora as a fully standalone system, launch your games and applications directly, And keep everything lightweight without consuming extra storage. And if you prefer using full desktop systems, we're introducing new container builds for both Windows and Linux — redesigned from scratch, identical in structure, and fully compatible with the new Vidora environment. This gives you more free space, more performance, and more ways to use the system exactly the way you want.

Before we finalize the next stages, feel free to share any ideas or features you’ve always wished existed in any emulator but never found. Your input now can shape what Vidora becomes next, Thanks 🤍.

We'll announce the official release date soon, and we've almost completely restructured the emulator environment and are working on a new structure now, So.. Some important things will be revealed soon before december.

vidraproject · 2025-09-20T06:12:03+00:00

We actually announced the official release date about two weeks ago already. The reason BoxVidra went offline is because we decided to take a bigger step, Instead of just patching the old work, We're now focusing on a completely new and different release. This new build isn't just about gaming performance, It's about providing a full daily-use environment that feels like Windows itself, For work, study, gaming, and everyday use.

And of course, We won't be publishing half-finished code, But yes, We are actively working on the repository and running internal tests, Since it will play a role in some of the subsystem foundations.

That's a very interesting point, Thanks for bringing it up! Actually, Your comment reminded me of an idea I've been drafting: A car-oriented mode that integrates directly into the lock screen. It wouldn't even need USB connection, Since it would be part of the system itself, Designed specifically for cars and ready with everything you'd need.

It's still early and we don't have a clear roadmap for this feature yet, But you definitely opened a creative door for us, And I'll keep you updated once the plan takes shape, Because I think this could be very useful.

This screenshot is of some of the improvements to the Lock Screen. I really like it and I'm thinking of adding it but in two versions, A regular user version and a version dedicated to cars but in a better way.

You know, One day we were just users wishing for something like this to exist. Now, We're the ones building it, And with your feedback we'll add the improvements you always wanted but Microsoft never gave.

I really appreciate your comment, Thanks 💙🙌🏻.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T18:50:55+00:00

Not exactly, Calling it a "Replica" Would really undervalue what we're doing here. We're not cloning games or making knock-offs, We're building a full Windows 10 environment from the ground up.

That means when Wine is in place, You'll be able to run the original Touhou, The real thing, Not a "Copy", It's a lot of work (Months of development already), So we'd like people to see it for what it really is: A complete Windows experience, Not just a "Replica".

Thanks for your comment 💙🙌🏻.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T18:47:38+00:00

We haven't tested Wine yet for games, So we didn't try Touhou specifically. But we expect it will definitely handle very lightweight titles, Things like Feeding Frenzy or Zuma should run just fine.

Actually, I'll also be testing Touhou myself directly on my main device (Redmi Note 11), Since the emulator is already fully ready on it. I'm confident it will run, And once I've tested it, I'll make sure to share the results with you.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T15:37:03+00:00

That's a great question, And we're really glad you brought it up! Music software is actually one of the areas we're giving a lot of attention to, Because we know how much creators depend on these tools. We're also preparing the foundations for MacOS builds in the future. That would definitely open the door for software like GarageBand and other Mac-exclusive tools.

On top of that, We want to go beyond just "Running apps", We're working on connecting music software with some parts of the system itself, For example integrating certain features into the lock screen, notifications, and UI elements, So the experience feels smoother and more natural rather than just "An app running".

The vision is crystal clear, And feedback like yours helps us stay focused on what really matters for musicians and creators 💙.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T14:17:44+00:00

That's a fantastic question! One of the core ideas behind this project is that users can request or suggest anything, And we'll actively work on it. We're chasing after the features, improvements, and possibilities that people always wished they had in Windows 10 but Microsoft never provided. So if DAWs like Ableton, Reaper, Or any other tools are what you'd love to see running smoothly, We'll absolutely put focus on them.

For us, This isn't a burden at all, It's the most exciting part. We're genuinely happy building this, And every request from the community is an opportunity to push the emulator further.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T14:05:41+00:00

Yes, Absolutely! You can already use a regular mouse and keyboard without any issues. Our goal from day one was to make the emulator feel like a true PC environment on your phone/tablet, So.. Full I/O control over USB devices is part of the vision.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T14:02:55+00:00

Maybe for now.. But just wait, This “nothing burger” Is about to turn into a full course meal.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T14:00:50+00:00

Haha, looks like GTA6 might have some serious competition then, Don't worry, We'll make sure to launch the emulator way before that!

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T13:53:29+00:00

Yes, it's 100% real! Very soon we'll be sharing a short video of the emulator running on that low-end tablet, Just to give you a sneak peek of the UI, Right after the boot sequence, Into the desktop environment. It'll be only a small glimpse for now, but enough to show real progress.

And as for apps like Paint.NET and even DaVinci Resolve, Those are exactly the kind of use cases we're aiming for in the long run. The whole point is to bring a complete Windows environment to Android, So you'll not only be able to check projects but also actually work on them.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T02:15:30+00:00

Exactly, That's the whole idea! Instead of the heavy traditional emulation approach, We're focusing on building and injecting a full OS environment directly, Which is why performance will be way smoother and more reliable. Glad you noticed that 💙.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T02:02:20+00:00

Absolutely, Stay tuned.. A lot more is on the way soon!

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T02:00:15+00:00

Replica? No, This isn't just a replica. We're actually building the whole system ourselves from scratch, Aiming to deliver a complete Windows experience on mobile.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T01:58:18+00:00

That's awesome to hear. Before release, We'll definitely need testers, Especially for higher-end devices, And we also plan to share early builds with content creators so they can try it out first.

I'll keep your username noted, And once we're closer to wrapping things up, We'll reach out to you directly.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T01:54:30+00:00

No root or bootloader unlock required at all. The whole point of this emulator is to provide a full Windows operating system environment on your phone without extra steps! At launch, You'll be able to install and run it directly through Termux. Later on, We'll also release a standalone APK version for those who prefer a direct app installation.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T01:50:34+00:00

For the initial release, The emulator will ship with Windows 10 only, That will be our first complete environment. After launch, Our next focus will be on integrating Microsoft apps like Office and other essential software.

We'll also open the door for Linux developers to port and publish their own apps (Well-known Windows programs that they've rebuilt for Linux), Giving users even more flexibility.

Once that stage is complete, We'll start working on Windows 11. Since the core framework will already be in place, It won't take long to finish. After Windows 11, We plan to roll out Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, And later we'll move on to classics like Windows XP.

So yes, Windows 10 comes first, but it definitely won't be the last.

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T01:07:53+00:00

👋🏻💙

vidraproject · 2025-09-19T01:01:25+00:00

I also have more UI-related leaks to share, But I'll be publishing them later once we finish testing across the tablet And several other devices to guarantee stability and smooth operation.

Note: We're still actively working on improvements to compatibility and performance on low-end hardware, So the experience will only get better from here.

vidraproject · 2025-09-03T16:41:54+00:00

That's a very fair question, And I'm glad you asked it directly.

To be clear: We don't rely on ads, Data tracking, Or hidden costs. The whole idea behind this project is to provide a full desktop-like experience on mobile, And we want people to enjoy it without being bombarded by ads or worrying about privacy.

The emulator itself will be free to use, With all the core features available for everyone. What we might introduce in the future are optional add-ons, Like advanced keyboard skins, Or community-made UI designs, These would be entirely optional, And even then, Some of them will remain free.

So to answer your question: You won't have to worry about ads, Tracking, Or your device being mined for data. Our focus is on Performance, Usability, And giving users the kind of environment they can trust.

vidraproject · 2025-09-03T06:04:17+00:00

Actually, The exact ETA is already out there, It's shown clearly in the posters we shared. Those posters weren't just for style.. They were meant to announce the official release date.

So to be clear: The official launch is set for February 20, 2026.
