mp68terr Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Hi, I would like to use some phone apps on my computer, no games, just apps. Did a check on the net, most is about gaming (bluestacks, bliss, noxplayer, memu, etc.). Is there a simple emulator allowing phone apps to be emulated on a pc? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! On Windows 11, you can just use WSA. Or imo, Memu is the best emulator.

mp68terr Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Thanks guys, better to have info from users than from 'reviews'. I will check those. The point I forgot to mention is that I use linux and occasionaly win7 when win is needed (two different drives). Bliss looked fine because it seems possible to boot from the iso, it did not work for me through ventoy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mp68terr Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Old stuff set as BIOS/MBR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest build of Bliss OS Live from Ventoy and it works fine. Try setting your mode to UEFI only for testing the Ventoy, See if that works.

According to an old friend it could be true (IRL that's why remain absent for very long time). For the record, I won't able to confirm (neither test) by myself (none time).

mp68terr Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 As far as I remember I did not see any option for the UEFI thing (old motherboard, old bios and old drives...). Will check again. Thx for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will check again. Thx for the info. You could find it in boot menu. Insert the bootable Ventoy USB and then press the boot menu key. If you see a UEFI boot option there, select that. That shall boot it into UEFI mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rok Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 In my opinion, using emulator will make your PC ? Notebook slow, unless you have plenty of resources. The best way to use games or apps would be to install a Chrome OS fork or Android x86 on a separate partition (if you have space), otherwise just install it on a USB drive.

mp68terr Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Not much spare space on partitions, on a usb drive would be good as it does not need to be fast (app only, no game). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
