Emulators: Xamarin libraries are now free, but what will happen to Xamarin Android Player?
* Recently, '''Google Chrome''' can open apk files too, though their emulation on PC is average at best. Here's a [http://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iIbxaftAu_ho5rv9fUlXSLTzwU6MbKOldsWXyrYiyo8/edit#gid=0 compatibility list] and a [https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeapks dedicated subreddit].
* '''Xamarin Android Player''' is also a newcomer to the Android emulation market. Not much is known about this as because it required a minimum of $25/month subscription of main Xamarin products. Although the main Xamarin products are [https://blog.xamarin.com/xamarin-for-all now available for free], it is required for usecurrently not announced whether Xamarin Android Player will become free or not.
* '''Windroy''' (without the 'e' suffix) is a fast Android emulator that does not rely on VirtualBox or any similar technology. It isn't accurate though. While Google Play store can be installed with some tinkering, not many games can be installed (due to not faking device names) and will spawn multiple harmless-yet-annoying app_process.exe crashes.
