ResidentEvul13 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I saw that android is a platform option bt how the hell do we use it.. I mean I have nox on my systems but it doesn't even install to a normal location so its impossible to locate the app exe... Can this be done with bluestacks? Again giving me files I don't have a clue about using with the movies is pointless... I created an acoount I got my API key etc but how the heck do we add movies to launchbox?

DOS76 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Its simple to add anything to LB you just go to the folder and drag it in add your video player as the emulator and that should be that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I don't know how you do it I really only play Retro games on Android and really have no interest in adding it to my computer. I do believe from my time using Bluestacks though it makes an application folder even Andy has a way to use the folders I remember using it not that long ago to setup Gamesome I was going to attempt to set it all up on the PC and move it to any SD for an Asus Zenfone 5 I got from a friend but I only did it one afternoon and that was over a month ago so I don't remember the details. Maybe this link can help you out and show you where Andy's files are located. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 You don't play Android games unfortunately. BlueStacks and other Android emulators certainly exist (I use BlueStacks), but there is no way to get it to play nice with LaunchBox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fromlostdays Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I would actually love to add android games and apps to the PC, but I only want to do it officially (as in with my android email address entered and using that account etc.) and I don't trust any of the emulators enough. I wish they'd release something official. In the meantime, you might try Koplayer. I suggest it because a while back I was able to get it to work in Rocketlauncher. If I recall, its only a matter of associating the apk with the emulator, then having a program launch the apk like an exe. So basically just drag the apk into LB, and make sure its not set to use an emulator. It might work, might not. Been a while since I messed with that emu at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 If there's an emulator that can create a shortcut per app, then that is all you'd need, but loading up the emulator for 1 game each time like that is less than stellar. Right now, it just doesn't lend it's self well to a front end. Also, BlueStacks is great, so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyatt6385 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This appears to be the best thread to post this in . . . Yesterday, I dusted off Nox and started installing some game apks I got through Humble Bundle. I thought, "Why not add those games to LaunchBox? It would make launching those games so much easier!" As if I don't have enough to do with 20k+ Commodore 64 files . . . So I'm digging around in the emulator settings in LaunchBox. Nox has a command line parameter to load Nox when a package is selected (taken from https://www.bignox.com/blog/command-line-parameters-that-nox-app-player-supports/): -package:<package_name> where <package_name> takes the format of com.doubleeleven.frozensynapseprime for example (the package name for Frozen Synapse Prime I have installed). This information can be found easiest using ES File Explorer, I've discovered. I'll post more on that if there's an interest. So what should the syntax be for "default command-line parameters" in the emulator setup window? Are double-quotes used around the variable, or what? And how does one get rid of the "FULL\PATH\TO\ROM\FILE" in the "sample command" line? That path is unnecessary if the package is called from the Nox command line. And then there's the question of the syntax for the "application path" parameter in the program details. Should just the package name, without a path, be used on that line?

Launchbox isnt a emulator, if you have a Android emulator that supports command line it will work with Launchbox, just like any other system.

Peichan2 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Still possible to emulate Android on launchbox ? It's looks like impossible now ? Thanks for answer. It's true, i Can launch Nox for example. But is there a way to launch directly a game from launchbox ? Each Time i want to launch it, it enter in box and it's not plug'n play. Is there a way to manage that ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
