A New Android Emulator

[Undertow76]

Been trying out this new emulator called MEmu, I ran across it over at the xda site,

I've tried Bluestacks and other android emulators but this is waaay faster.

for my test I downloaded the drastic.apk, and tried out a few DS games, I tried two Castlevania - ran full speed,

and Bowsers inside story- wanted to run but quickly closed, id imagine because how big it is.

But fun to play around with at least.          Give it a try, it will definitely be one to keep an eye on for sure!

Awesome! Thanks for this. Been wondering when a legitimate alternative to bluestacks would come around.

Nice, Fire10 was asking about this kinda thing the other day

I added an Android main wheel two days ago to see how it runs, the first run in BlueStakcs takes a hell of a time to start the game, so I'm really willing to try this one, if Rocket Launcher forum guys help us with a new module of course.

As for the Drastic question, Jeremy, I've been using this emulator in my smartphone for some time, I agree that using an emulator inside another doesn't make much sense, but Drastic is an amazing emulator with a lot of great features and runs basically all games smoothly.

Though I don't intend using Drastic, my focus is running Android games in Windows via Hyperspin.

Just tried bluestacks for the first time yesterday. I found it pretty fast actually. But I don't care how good it is, I will NEVER pay a monthly subscription. That is just crazy. A one-time payment of less than 20 bucks and I would maybe consider it.

My "disgust" in bluestacks also led me to try another. I chose Nox App Player which looks pretty similar. It was a little confusing dealing with obb files at first but works quite well after you figure it out. It even sorta works with the bluestacks module although it did time out before the game actually loaded. Also Nox has a "close confirmation" box that I can't find how to suppress.

Worth checking out for those interested.

I all ways liked drastic over desmume,  on my tablet it runs almost 99% of the games I ever threw at it, always wished for a PC version of it to play on the big screen or add

to the wheel,  lol,  then I got a Nvidia shield tv, and I pretty much do it all from there now.

 

But I like how fast this app is, im gonna try a few android games and see how it stacks up!

I totally understand your point, Drastic is really amazing, wish we had it for other systems as well.

DS ~Emulation is perfect on PC?

[Undertow76]

on PC it runs fair enough,  But mapping and screen placement could use a bit of a overhaul on desmume.

I haven't put it on the wheel because of this.

Cool. So I can run this emulator inside hyperspin and inside it I can run Hyperspin for android with retroarch for android? Bonus!
