I switch to NOX. I've tried all the other Android App players or Android Emulators on my PC. NOX works the best and has the highest compatibility rate with Android games, as well as being able to run multiple instances at once. I used to play "Invasion" and would have 5 games going at one time on the screen. It was awesome.. Bluestacks will have a place in my heart as the 1st crush, but I moved on... Check out NOX.. It is the best. + 100% Free

I worked with this for a while solely to use the OfferUp app on the pc. On my Windows 10/64 machine I never knew if it would start or not and if it did, it frequently crashed. Clunky and unreliable. I switched to MeMu and never looked back

The software is bulky and does not work well. On some slower computers is complete disaster. Sometimes after working well for some time suddenly starts to cats bugs... Also the android installation is full of adware. Better alternative to me is Droid4X.
I will rate this one as 3 given that it is one of the first and most popular emulators.

You don't know what your are talking about. x86 is minimum requirement for DuOS means an Intel processor, x86 or x64. DuOS runs way faster than BS. Video in BS is choppy. Perfect in DuOS.
BS is still ransomware being forced to install junk.
DuOS is written by AMI, the BIOS company. Computer experts.

No,I only had to download 5 games which I never play. They don't force you to play them at all and it doesn't nag; Additionally,x86 is so yesterday, who even has an x86 box other than for_______fill in the blank. Bluestacks works fine. Also, if one reads the description carefully, it is designed to run on a PC, not a tablet. True, once in a while (if I have numerous processes running in the background) it might take 2 minutes (at worst) to load, but that's rare. Other than that...a fine program. I don't have to squint at my teeny android screen anymore when I play heroes charge, the only game I play.

Pros: BlueStacks was my 1st Android Emu that worked for me on the PC. I even paid for a full year of ad-free service. Version 2. Now they are on version 4.

Cons: Slow and memory hog. Must pay for subscription or the background downloads will begin to happen, quite often..

Bottom Line: I switch to NOX. I've tried all the other Android App players or Android Emulators on my PC. NOX works the best and has the highest compatibility rate with Android games, as well as being able to run multiple instances at once. I used to play "Invasion" and would have 5 games going at one time on the screen. It was awesome.. Bluestacks will have a place in my heart as the 1st crush, but I moved on... Check out NOX..

Bluestacks as a whole will never work unless Intel X86 gets some love on the tablet front. Aka a x86 haswell based tablet. Those don't really exist in any volume so arm is the architecture. That would mean literally grafting an arm chip into the computer to actually get the player to perform properly (like a kindle firetv player for instance) if not its nothing but a gimmick

finnlayer reviewed v0.8.2 Beta on Nov 26, 2013

Not really any big issues, just that' i can not rearrange the appz to my liking and when i play games, their is no option to resize the screen.

I played temple 2 without any issues, i did tick the box for render 2D in the options,

Used Google play store with ease and installed appz from major geeks, cleaners, anti virus, hand no problems installing and using.

I am running window 8.1 pro, 14 gig DDR 3
Full admin rights.
ATI/AMD Radeon HD 6770

A few things could be worked on and tweaked, the option to have a tweak
menu like psx emulator has for speed hacks and others, An idea ! but this is beta and given time it will hopefully improve. All is time.

I tried it last night and after jumping through hoops to get it set up and running, I was disappointed with the results. I found it to be exceptionally slow in rendering an app. An excellent idea, but at a snail's pace.

1. Limitations:
a) Cannot work on Windows XP x64, installer quits
b) Requires .NET 2.0 or higher
c) Cannot work properly on screen 1024x768 (too narrow, cannot show the right panel)
2. No information about system requirements and these (and maybe others) limitations on the official website.
3. No any feedback form or bugreport/discussion forum or simply e-mail address on their website.
4. UI problems: to set/clear checkbox in settings, need to click on the bar where this checkbox resides, not the checkbox itself. Counter-intuitive for Windows users.
5. Games which I tried, work smooth, without problems, but on PC screen they remind the 20 years old games designed at the times of IBM PC/AT386, looks childish (not a problem of emulator, of course).

Promising, nevertheless
