'''Melange''' is a [[Cellphone_emulators#Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW)|BREW]] emulator (Wrapperwrapper) for [[Emulators on Android OS|Android]]device, written in C. While the core emulator is free and open-source, it relies on proprietary components from Qualcomm, the creators of BREW.
==Overview==
BREW is compatibility layers may also make use of wrapper. As BREW and Android share the ARM architecture, Melange only has to translate specific calls, as with [[Winewine]] on POSIX-compliant operating systems, like macOS and Linux, providing increased performance compared to a virtual machine or emulator. It can boot many 2D/3D BREW games not requiring OpenGL (e.g. Id Software games, EA games) or some other APIs. As such, some KTF/Chinese BREW titles work with font glitchesproblem, but no Zeebo titles are currently supported, as OpenGL is unimplemented. The emulator is in still in early development.
==How to use==

; Apps/Games
Downloaded BREW apps are tied to an individual handset via a digital signature, making piracy or sideloading difficult if not impossible. However, some devices can run backups and pirated apps, which are much rarer and harder to find than ones for J2ME. Many games have been dumped, but most are undumped as of yet. There are a few collections of European, American and Korean titles, but not Japanese and Chinese ones.
