After at almost 3 years of the existing of Frost project since it got started and established from the Exagear emulator until the last and final ever project that were developed and got famous among other Winlator mod project, which is the Winlator@Frost are going to permanently disappeared very soon. After being got of the sanctions and flagged as blacklisted project from the Github, this project is slowly gone down and down after its popularity is no longer available for this project. But the project is keeping to fighting for getting back the popularity like in previously, by making this project to look more different than the others, such as adding more features that the official doesn't have it and then hosting the own website for the user to download and get the latest release of the Frost. But it seems with this way, the project is getting more falling very down, and what I saw, firstly it seems that I was working in vain which no one would care about this project, no one was using the latest version of the Frost that were released in this website even in the Reddit, YouTube or any other social media platforms out there. And it something, like I was wasting a lot of time as well with my money too just for this project. And absolutely, of course I feel very sad and very disappointed to develop this project by bringing it back to keep it alive even got many of obstacles including the sanctions of the Github along with this project
So, I'm now going to release the final release and update ever for the Winlator@Frost, which that I hope there will be more people used and download this release. I can't bring it anymore because I was facing the financial issue due to developing this project. I was spending at least 50 dollars a month to develop this project since starting in the June ago for starting the development of the Frost revival project. At first, I'm spending it by purchasing the monthly plan for the Claude AI to help me coding for fixing the errors in the project. Secondly in last August, I'm spending again for establishing the own website of the Frost by paying around 10 dollars monthly. So, totaling of the current costs just for this project only was around 50 dollars, and I'm still a school student, didn't get the part-time job for earning the extra money, and then the modal of this project had come from my pocket money that I save for getting my new dream phone and then my parents money too. And that's the reason why I need to stop developing this project. I couldn't stay for keep begging my parents and friends for money and keep using and wasting up my pocket money and saving money just to developing this project, did you know that my family were from the countryside which is very poor, and I'm not a rich person. But hopefully, if there were someone would like to help us for sponsoring this project, I will still resuming and keep developing this project, but if not, I didn't have any other choices for continuing this project
Ok, now I will tell you what does the final version will containing. So the firstly, I have added the game stores feature which it allows you to download the games from your game library of the game stores, just login with your game store account and then you're all set to enjoy your own game library inside the Winlator@Frost, just tap on the games and Install for downloading the selected games and choose the container for creating the shortcut to launch the downloaded games directly from the shortcut
And for the other changes, especially for the driver changes, I have successfully compiled and added the LLVMpipe driver which this driver are based on the software renderer that uses CPU for rendering, resulting that it will have the very slow performance among the other driver, but at least it gives the vulkan support for the device that are not supported the Vortek driver for using the DXVK and vulkan. And this driver was got requested by many of the users to the Brunodev85, so I decided to add it and hopefully brunodev85 will implement it in the future version of the Winlator official. And also, I compiled and added the new version of the VirGL driver, updating the driver from the 23.1.9 into 25.0.7. Hopefully, with this version of 25.0.7 it could be able to fix the remaining known issues of the graphics rendering problem in some of games when using the 23.1.9 version
And finally, there were many other small changes that I have add and fixes based on the latest Winlator official version 11.2 to improving the stability of the app and games that you were played in the Winlator@Frost and at the same time it can improves the performance. And with this stable release that I'm going to release it very soon, I hope that I could gaining back the popularity of this Winlator@Frost like in previous and past year when the Winlator@Frost are successfully becoming the famous Winlator mod among other mods, and more users will use this release and they will posting more gameplay of testing inside the Winlator@Frost in the social media platforms, especially inside the YouTube and Reddit
