== Wakuoo - ye yet another Android emulator == == Wakuoo emulator ==
[//www.wakuoo.com/ Wakuoo] is yet another Android emulator for gaming. Maybe someone with permission could add it.

|{{✗}} ||{{✓}} ||{{~}}<ref group=N name=Bloatware>These emulators are usually closed-source, and while they're distributed for free, '''their devs look for roundabout ways to monetize them'''. One such high-profile case is BlueStacks or MEmu. 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.</ref>

== zhaoyi, xDroid and UEngine ==
 
[https://www.wndroid.com/index zhaoyi] is a similar project to Windows Subsystem for Android and Google Play Games, and another project [https://www.linzhuotech.com/index.php/home/index/xdroid.html xDroid] by the same developer is similar to Anbox and WayDroid; UEngine is originally developed for Deepin, based on Anbox.

== MechDome ==
 
MechDome was a company that had tools to provide translation of Android apps to iOS, macOS, and Windows, however it dissolved in 2018, and was extremely costly from the start. see https://twitter.com/mech_dome
 
Basically, we've got another Cycada, an absolutely amazing compatibility layer lost to time. As iOS grows in the USA, many will want this dearly.
 
== "Tons of bloated, obsolete or non-active Android "emulator" exists there but we're not gonna list them, see this page for that." ==
 
May you please move this section to a sub-page instead of linking to an old version of the page please, just including the removed emulators in an infobox and a description?
 
== Add MustardChef WSA Builds for Windows 10 ==
 
Can someone add the MustardChef WSA Builds (https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds), right next to the words "WSA patch for Windows 10"?
I can't edit the page myself.
