Fastest Android emulator - AMIDuOS

If you don't know what AMI means: American Megatrends Inc. Yes, this specific team creates BIOS'es for your PC and other stuff.

If you didn't know, they also developed a Android emulator. It's not like Andy that it comes with VMWare player and that's all. Unlike these, this one has 100% app support. (But like always... graphical errors and slight stability issues)
And this Android emu will work on everything that runs Windows. Seriously. (It runs on my shitty tablet so why wouldn't it run on your Pentium?)

My views? Smooth, but hogs RAM drastically (Atleast AMIDuOS Lite) and will kinda nuke your PC.
Games like Voez (My version is 1.0.15 afaik so i can't really complain) have graphical errors. (Black bars, black notes etc.)

There are two versions: Pro (£13) or Lite (£9) (You can try out Lite for free for 30 days)
Pro comes with Lollipop, Lite comes with Jellybean. Pro requires atleast 2GB of RAM to run smoothly or else it will restart apps and you will be unable to complete first-setup process.
Lite is very lightweight, will run on 512mb of RAM easily. Lite is kinda outdated so it has issues. But hey, this version works on everything. Tablet PCs to toasters.

They both have "Send to DuOS" option so you can easily apply updates/necessary packages to it. Really nice! Also, folder sharing is a thing.

I recommend grabbing this emulator for touchscreen devices only because it doesn't have keyboard mapping or anything like that.

Pros?
Runs on TabletPCs just fine, Fast, Doesn't stutter too much like other emulators, Reads every touch/input, Lightweight, It's not another VMWare redirector, Hardware keyboard etc. support.
Send to DuOS option, rootable.

Cons?
Graphical errors, incompatibility issues, sometimes can crash Windows (If you allocated too much RAM), CPU heavy (Normal for Android emulators)

If you want to test it, then google that name. First result should be from them.
If you don't have touchscreen, don't really bother unless you have native Xbox controller. This emulator can read inputs from external devices currently connected to your PC.

My rating on this thing? 9/10. Perfect if you don't want to risk bricking your Tablet device by overwriting system partition/formatting or just want some android goodness.
See ya in next blog post!

I tired it out before but it wasn't possible to use it for debugging... I can't remember what the exact issue was (maybe the setting just wasn't there?) but it was a shame because it'd have been really useful otherwise.

I'd give it a try but...

There are two versions: Pro (£13) or Lite (£9)

It's possible to install Android as an OS free of charge rather than just use an emulator, anyway.

Yeah, you can try it for 30 days though after then you have to pay for it.

You can enable Log saving in AMIDuOS Configuration Tool

@hobbledehoy899 It's Windows only.

I would just flash Android OS on it.

Or I would get Virtualbox (VMWare sucks ass imo) and run a android thing in that

Virtualbox isn't really good for Atom but it works atleast.
I wouldn't risk installing Android over Windows since in x86 version, theres problem with touch drivers.
 
I can't speak for VirtualBox, but Android in VMPlayer was slow and laggy last time I tried it.

@Felek666 ... Log saving isn't what I'm talking about; I need to be able to use USB (or WiFi) Debugging

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
