I know this is a weird question but is it possible to play android games on pc with an emulator or something? I heard that there is an android emulator for pc so you can check out the os design and stuff like that but is it possible to install games (.apk) on it and play it?
Thanks for answers.
The Android SDK comes with an emulator, and you can use adb to install apps onto it, but it is incredibly slow!

Though that's likely to not work with some games - if they've used any C++ code, that'll be compiled for the Arm CPU rather than x86
Youwave for Android works great! My son wanted to play Robodefense on the PC so I found this little piece of software that's simple and uses .apk files I had on my G-Tablet.

yes its possible, i dont have the software though . but i believe you can find it, use google
I had high hopes for youwave after installing Android SDK and packages (They were really slow). Youwave seems nice and quick, but the first two apps I tried to play wouldn't work due to them not being supported by youwave
You can use Emulators to play games on PC
Some emulators come with inbuilt app store from which you can install and play the games.
For example Youwave. But they do have limitation like they cannot handle games that use ARM native code.
Also some famous games like fruit ninja , Angry Birds are available to be played online itself.

I got the software that lets me emulate devices, I just don't know how to use it. I want to play APK based games on PC but I'm not sure how to set the emulator.
I have this idea and I would like to know if it is possible to work. I'm thinking of buying an Android TV media box and hook it up to my TV. Then the plan is to connect 2 game controllers and play games with emulation programs. Will this work? If yes, do all emulator apps work perfect with controllers?

Bumping the thread up once more..
what's the likelihood of being able to emulate an arcade light gun game, for example point blank, on the nvidia shield tv, using a wiimote as a controller?
does anyone have the means to try this?

I have tried so many ways to make this work. The only app that ever kind of worked was USB/BT Joystick Center Gold. I was able to use that on an older Minix I was using to play games on my TV. It worked well, but I haven't been able to find a way to make it work with the SATV. I have installed the app on my SATV and I am rooted, but it says it can't find "uinput /dev" and so it won't work.
I have looked into the mayflash dolphinbar, https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-W01...474996745&sr=8-1&keywords=mayflash+dolphinbar
I actually emailed them and asked if there was a way to make IR input work as a touch mouse on android, and they said it didn't have that functionality, but if I knew a developer who could point them in the right direction, they would build it in. Unfortunately I don't know anyone. Dolphin emulator achieved some level of wiimote functionality in the emulator, but it was only in the dolphin emulator, not system wide, and I am not even sure if they had the IR working, I think it was just the wii buttons.
I have tried everything, but I haven't had any success. If you stumble on something, please let me know. I used to be able to play TimeCrisis from PSXE, there were a number of android games that worked well with it too, like Major Mayhem. It would be awesome to get a wiimote working as an IR mouse on our SATV.
Possible solution
If anyone is interested in this, there is a product on kickstarter that may solve the problem. Right now Android support is on the road map, which all know means it may never come. But, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on!
Search for the Sinden Lightgun. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sindenlightgun/the-sinden-lightgun/description
Mame is definitely a lost cause and the wiimote in general via Android. In theory I think the most plausible way would be by using the dolphinbar as a mouse pointer. I played around with all this a few years ago and the only joy I had was gamestreaming the PC version of dolphin with the dolphinbar attached to the PC. I found the gun was terrible unless you were 3 metres away from the screen minimum. However if you can get this set up it works perfectly and can enjoy games like House of the Dead, Goldeneye Wii, Dead Space whatever it's called etc.
So I just switched to android and found out that my favorite game wasnt on play store:crying:
Then I started to search the internet for any kinda WP emulators, but I got nothing. Then I tryed to find ports... nothing.
The game im talking is Dragon's blade 1 and 2. Its my all time fav roleplaying game.
Is there ANY WAY to emulate or port this game on android?
