I might reconsider redownloading WSA with magisk again considering yeah the well-known emulators I showed on the thumbnail are sketchy πŸ’€.

Google play games launched a beta for several android games not that long ago on PC, though I do get mixed up with the service aswell

waydroid looks great! though I am a windows user :(

I've actually tried installing play store alongside Windows Android Subsystem before via MagiskOnWSALocal. It works quite well actually and root is enabled with Magisk. It was a bit of a hassle for me when installing though since Windows Subsystem for Linux and the other steps are required for installation. Though im not sure if there are easier methods now

Hey there, I've been using Bluestacks as my main android emulator for a while, but I disliked how bloated it is, especially that their cloud service app comes preinstalled.

Im wondering if there are other android emulators that are good to use. I've already heard about emulators such as:

I haven't actually tried most of these myself yet since I don't quite trust them. They are quite sketchy and heavily advertised

I agree delta is quite good (customizable controller skins are awesome), though it is only limited to nintendo systems. Provenance would be better considering the sideloading app limit

I’m not a fan of afterplay, you have to sign in with an account + paywalled systems. The Eclipse emulator running on the web and targeted towards iOS users is definitely better personally

Running emulated games on a emulator running on a DOS emulator that is running on iOS, the desperation is real

I agree delta is quite good (customizable controller skins are awesome), though it is limited to only nintendo systems, which compared to provenance it is limiting because of the app limit of sideloading

emulating games by using an emulator that runs on an emulated DOS on iOS, the desperation is real

I just tried it and it works great! The interface looks almost the same as iOS. The supported systems are quite retro though (sad that there is no DS support atm). I already have Provenance installed so personally I don’t find to be using it often, but so awesome being a web app + useable offline without sideloading

 

What are your thoughts on the current emulation scene on iOS? Since Apple does not allow emus to be published on the app store, you will have to go through the tough process of either jailbreaking or sideloading with tools such as AltStore.

At the moment I know that Provenance is a frontend for multiple emulators similar to Retroarch, which is really useful considering with a normal apple account you can only side load 3 apps, including AltStore itself. Though I would still love to know other emus available for iOS

any news on when they would release on the app store? i’m really looking forward to mlem but i cant access apps with test flight atm

the recent giant performance boost for lemmy.world and the launch of the ios client Memmy on the app store makes lemmy so great rn
