BannerHub Lite
The lightweight member of the family. BannerHub Lite layers the GOG / Epic / Amazon store tabs, a Winlator HUD, Wine Task Manager, Component Manager and per-game performance tooling onto the slim GameHub Lite base — ideal for lower-end or storage-constrained devices.

Built on GameHub Lite 5.1.4
BannerHub Lite starts from GameHub Lite by Producdevity — itself a community patch of XiaoJi's GameHub 5.1.0. A lot of what makes Lite "lite" comes from that base; BannerHub adds the store tabs and tooling on top. Here's the honest split:
Comes from GameHub Lite
- Telemetry & tracking removed at the base — Umeng analytics, Firebase, JPush, Tencent login, crash reporting.
- No account requirement — login removed.
- Bloat removed — Cloud Streaming, Xbox Cloud Gaming and social features stripped (≈118 MB → 52 MB at the base).
- Trimmed permissions & offline support.
- RTS Touch Controls — tap-to-click, box-select, long-press right-click, two-finger pan, pinch-zoom (added in GameHub Lite 5.1.4 by @Nightwalker743).
gamehub.litepackage rename + a custom community news page.
…and from GameHub itself
- The Wine + Box64 / FEX runtime that actually runs Windows games.
- Container / Wine-prefix management and the in-game sidebar.
- Native Steam client integration.
- The base DXVK / VKD3D / Box64 component pipeline.
BannerHub Lite then adds: the GOG / Epic / Amazon store tabs, Component Manager + online downloader, Wine Task Manager, Winlator HUD, AI Frame Generation, VRAM unlock, CPU affinity, config export/import and more (see above).

Release history
Every notable feature and fix, newest first. Each version links to its full GitHub release notes.
Known issue (current): Proton 11 can hang on "Initializing…" when launching Steam games with a Steam client. Workaround: use a different Wine/Proton component for Steam-client launches until resolved.
- AI Frame Generation menu — new "Frame Generation" row in the in-game Controls sidebar with 6 presets (ECO/FLOW/BAL/BOOST/CLEAR/MAX), 2×/3×/4× multiplier, flow-scale slider and an FPS limiter; settings persist in
bh_framegen. - Per-package ICD JSON so frame-gen works on every variant package without per-variant patching.
- Server-side firmware fix — the Add-Game path now serves imagefs 1.3.7 (fixes the "Failed to initialize the simulator" error from v1.0.1, including for older installs — no client change needed).
- First stable on the BannerHub API — all 9 variants moved to
bannerhub-api.the412banner.workers.dev; components, firmware and catalog served from BannerHub. - Firmware bumped to 1.3.7, aligning 5.x (Lite) and 6.0 (BannerHub 3.7.x) clients on the same firmware.
- HID-mode launch dialog fix — the broken touch/HID picker backported into 5.1.4 is rewritten to a no-op so games launch directly.
- Export / Import game config — per-game Wine settings as JSON, cross-compatible with BannerHub.
- Extra-Detailed HUD — per-core CPU% & MHz, GPU%, temps, RAM, SWAP, FPS graph, battery wattage; draggable.
- D-pad focus highlights, GOG Akamai CDN fix, download-manager sync (6-parallel + speed), and a dedicated
banner.hub.litepackage.
- Wine Task Manager sidebar tab — Container Info, Applications & Processes (with Kill), and a Launch tab that browses the prefix and runs executables, with 3s auto-refresh.
- Amazon Games tab and Epic Games Store tab added (OAuth, library sync, parallel downloads, launch).
- Winlator HUD overlay with toggle + opacity slider; Japanese translations (3,534 strings); GOG download UX improvements (live speed, cancel cleanup).
- GOG library build-out — 3 view modes, SteamGridDB cover art, A-Z sort, detail dialog improvements.
- Performance sidebar toggles (root): Sustained Performance + Max Adreno Clocks.
- First tracked stable release — the initial BannerHub feature set on the GameHub Lite base (GOG tab, Component Manager, VRAM unlock, CPU affinity and core tooling).
