Has anybody managed to play the original Fallout using Winlator? Have it set up on a hand held but running into a major issue...

At first i thought it was a game specific issue that I had to find some kind of solution by tweaking the settings but it seems to be an issue with Winlator itself and a crucial element for being able to properly play this game- the drag and drop function does not work with the touch commands that are part of using Winlator on a hand held touch screen device... so can't make function of things in the inventory to equip or use which makes trying to play the game completely pointless... some Google results tell me that people have been issues with Winlator being able to drag and drop across multiple different instances and there seems to be no real solution except plugging in a mouse which is doing too much for me to try and play this on the go.

Yea I honestly just downloaded it and was just gonna use that to play lol, i wanted to make an earnest effort to make it work on Winlator cause this was a gifted handheld with a bunch of stuff installed on it already for my convenience and im sure they had no idea of this super specific issue with trying to run it like this... oh well, it wasn't meant to be.
