Didn't know that, thx for the tip. Feel free to merge the threads to keep the forums tidier.

OK... I think I'll try this out on Win 8 laptop... Will report back later.

RumoredNow · 02/13/2013, 02:07 AM

OK... That quick there is a problem and it is solved...

BlueStacks didn't like my graphics card driver. Found a workaround real quick on a gaming forum and now BlueStacks is installing...

There're also YouWave and androVM which you can try as an alternative. The latter one is open source and seems to work quite well.

damn i was hoping ACL would court them and give them sour promises forever like us, and BAM they got a solution easy as that.

booo.

Hmm... I tried putting a few of the apps I bought on there, and half of them won't work. N.O.V.A. 3 gives network error, Aquaria says graphics settiings problems. But Minecraft seemed to start. Not sure what magic it's using.

Well a reboot after install helps.

Last night, Coin Dozer was pretty choppy. After I powered up this AM it looks much improved. Still a bit sketchy in the animation, but I've seen that on an Android tablet before as well. Something about that App - it rarely looks smooth when first starting up. All the permissions snooping around maybe???

Rail Maze is running buttery smooth.

Gateway NV53, Windows 8 Pro AMD 2.0 GHz dual core, 4GB RAM, on board ATI Radeon HD 4200 using 1/2 GB of System RAM...

BTW - BlueStacks is @ version "Beta 1."

xandros9 · 05/15/2013, 04:51 PM

i'd personally prefer something more integrated into the OS/more seamless - but its still cool

So many posts, RumoredNow? It was a piece of cake!

Just set up BlueStacks to get my MojoWhatsup/whatsapp account fixed. For me it worked like a charm, installed on Win 7. Even pulled in the stuff from when I test drove the Nexus 7.
