One such high-profile case is BlueStacks. Make sure to check if there are pre-installed apps on your emulator (and disable them), monitor your Internet connection download caps and processor activity to detect any abnormal activity (and block domains accordingly if the need arises,) and avoid giving sensitive account data as much as is possible (just in case it's key-logged). Besides basic safety, these precautions often make impacted emulators run much faster when the adware services and apps are turned off. Windows subsystem for Android is an exception, as Microsoft made it and monetizing comes from the Windows copy you bought.</ref>

The OUYA is Android based so you can use any Android emulator which runs Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) applications properly. The OUYA Framework is required for OUYA emulation. You'll need to install it on your preferred Android emulator. It can be downloaded here. As the OUYA does not accept keyboard input, you'll need to hook up a controller.
