New way to get your program to run on Android.

[lassar]

There is now a new way to get your program to run on android.

It's called Winulator. It's partly like WINE, But it translates x86 code to arm processor code.

We now have two choices to get our program to run on android.

Winulator, and DosBox emulator.

I say the more choices the better!

Why so difficult? There is i386 Android!

most of the android devices use a ARM based CPU optional with a OpenGL ES core in one chip.
Do you have an i386 device and if so is it android V1.6 or higher ?

http://www.android-x86.org/download names some devices. I know it existed because sb mentioned it on the list. I don't know if he has a HW device, or installed a generic version on some PC.

Anyway, if you are serious about pursuing x86 code on android it might be worth checking out. These emulators are probably quite heavy, and might require the more expensive ARM devices to run a decent speed. (my older ARM devices don't even run ARM code at a decent speed)

Excuse me if this sounds ignorant, but what is the point of compiling to a specific architecture when Android architectures may vary?

Just to run an app on a single device?

Forget Android 386 wont even run my dual core processor. Winulator lets you play old win/dos games on android . There is also snes droid , gameboy droid , playstation droid, Sign of a vibrant development platform.
