Development Paused

Hello everyone, I have been working on Winlator for a long time, more precisely since June 2023, and I have decided to pause the development of the project for now. I'm a guy who works alone and I do not have the strength to defend myself. In the last 2 days, accusations and attacks against me about viruses in Winlator have started to appear, which has made me very upset, I always check the files before each release and I always work hard to deliver a quality app and I would never put viruses in it. This is a project that I work on with my heart, I do not earn much from it, what I earn from donations is just to cover the costs and I think it is not worth the stress anymore. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. BrunoSX

• Try running the games using the shortcut on the Winlator home screen, there you can define individual settings for each game.
• To display low resolution games correctly, try to enabling the Force Fullscreen option in the shortcut settings.
