ARChon

ARChon is a Windows-based Android emulation application that allows you to run related applications. It is implemented as a plugin for Google Chrome. It should be noted that at the time of publication the project is at the development stage, so some functionality may not be implemented yet.

Installation

Before installing the plugin, you need to open the browser and activate developer mode in the settings. This will allow you to install modules from local files. Next, you need to go to the Extension Manager, specify the path to the plugin and start the installation process. After entering the interface, the user needs to specify the folder with the unpacked application or game. Installation is carried out in the form of additional extensions, a separate tab is used for access.

Launching

The start is made through the chrome://apps tab, where the corresponding icons are collected, it is enough to click on the necessary element. All content is displayed in the browser interface, keyboard and mouse are used for control. Various types of mobile applications can be launched according to this scheme - email clients, games, messengers, social networks, players and others. The Ctrl+Esc combination is used to call the menu. All available combinations and settings can be found in the plugin description. Since the application is not a full-fledged software emulator, some games may have problems during operation. It is also worth noting the weak optimization in terms of hardware resource allocation. This leads to increased load on the CPU, which can lead to a drop in performance of the entire system.
