Just letting people know that ARM Emulation isn't possible for recent versions.
Like with [[Nintendo DS emulators]], the computer mouse is used to emulate touchscreen presses (which can be less than ideal in many cases), and the keyboard emulates the button controller add-ons. Some emulators support X360 controllers as well with some more tweaks.
Android apps come in the .apk file format (occasionally coupled with .obb files). Just like its [[IOS emulators|iOS]] equivalent (IPA files), their innards can be opened as a regular 7z ZIP file.

The VM column describes what backend technology the emulator uses. Emulators labeled with "VirtualBox" sometimes needs the user to install [https://www.virtualbox.org/ Oracle VM VirtualBox]. Usually, it is installed automatically.
Setting up the emulator itself is not too hard, but a bit of tinkering is required to add the Google Play store and [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952 ARM processor emulation] (what you need essentially here to play the commercial releases) as well as [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/genymotion-users/JpO8HR39PR0/NpSkrnsB8d8J Xbox 360 controller support]. Not noob-friendly, but if you're experienced enough with Android to know your way around a rooted filesystem it shouldn't be too hard.
'''Note as of November 25th, 2019''': The above paragraph is outdated and ARM Emulation has been broken in Genymotion for a while, so you can't use ARM apps unless you get a really old version.

It could run [https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsphone/comments/3gaoct/android_apps_that_work_on_win10_right_now/ a few applicaionsapplications], though apps required Google Play Services did not run or had issues.
