Cannot get CIV3 to work in windows emulator. Someone who has it working pls help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

(Ty for moving it mods)
Hi all. For around 3 years I have tried to get civ 3 to work on my android device using exagear emu. At some point managed to make vanilla civ 3 work but that is slightly buggy, and trying to boot conquests fails every time. In the newer windows emulator made by exagear, I followed the guides as much as I could to make civ 3 work but I get the same bull problems.
Unload the debugger, black screen then crash etc. I currently have access to a civ 3 gog version.
Anyone here lucky enough to play this game could please share with me how to make it work on my emulator?
Also, I'm confused as to why I can never finish installing the game on the windows emu

Why Don't All Apps Work?

Hey guys, so me and my best friend bought Nook Tablets yesterday after seeing all the cool things that the rooted Color could do. Weve been playing around with it, and with the help of some threads here have gotten Go Launcher and all those basic apps to work like the Amazon Store and file managers and such.
Ive also got a fun game called Zombieville USA working after many attempts. However, for some reason not every apk i try installing works, and i was wondering why that is. For example, i tried for a while to get GameBoid working so i could play GBA games. It would install, then ask me to locate a bios file, which i then downloaded and got it to recognize, but after i open the actual Rom, it would run for a second and then stop.
Other apks give parsing errors, others just dont work. My friend just successfully got Fruit Ninja to work, and thats pretty much been our achievement of the hour. Were new to android and the tablet scene for that matter, but very well acquainted with jailbroken iPod Touches.
tl;dr why cant i get every app to work? Thanks for taking the time to help
Apps that don't work
One of the reasons might be that the Nook Tablet has only a subset of the hardware the typical Android Smartphone has.
No GPS, no accelerometer, etc.
Even some of the hardware it does have, like blue tooth, has no software drivers in the stock Nook operating system.
If the application you are trying to run is dependent on one of those missing resources, it may well fail. Missing libraries might be downloadable.
Your best bet will be applications known to run on the Amazon Fire, which has a comparable feature set. Rest will be try it and see.
Alright that makes sense, thanks. Ill go look around that forum then and see what i can dig up

[Q] Bluestacks and Android-x86-4.4-RC1 Issue

Hi everyone..

Because of my issue above,,i did some heavy ready but no good results an i am a bit tired.
i have tried other emu's but bluestacks runs enjoyable on my current desktop..
I came across android-x86-4.4-RC1.installed it an it feels so smooth an it feeds off of my 2 gig mem in a nice way compared to running a windows then starting an emu an then a game....
I would LOOOOOOVE to move in a brand new direction with Android OS..
My problem-

If i switch from my discrete graphics card an use my old onboard intel,it shows the drivers are there and it runs more apps but no game.

A weekend using remix 3.0.102

[FONT="<font><font>Lucida Sans Unicode</font></font>"]Hi all users remix I will present to you today as I was using for two days in his last remix version on my laptop with the following characteristics:
TOSHIBA NB250-108
Intel® Atom ™ N455 processor
ddr3 ram 2gb
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (256mb)
open gl 2.0
I say this after beginning...
I use windows 7 without any problem from there 3.0.102 remix install the hard disk on another partition, was fast, start well, I gave me choose my WiFi connection but not detect anything even though it was activated.
okay
no problem, sure to restart may recognize my wifi and so was ... well it works well, not as fast as its main competitor, phoenix you, but not as fluid goes well, native apps are good, your file manager does not have option to extract compressed files, but only touches download an app for that ... ok let's start with the good things about this version:
It works faster than version 2.0 ...
store and play alternative app store
It is rooted
all applications work smoothly
detects all partitions
we now for the things that must be corrected:
problems with the WiFi that spend an hour or a little more begins to fail, disconnect and try to connect again and does not, after several attempts just says error wifi connection and no problem with my wifi in my phone does not happen and is the same wifi I have in my house.
the file browser is missing extract compressed files.
many crashes, when using the system and do many things like download any app, play games, listen to music or do something in Word hangs and returns to CRGAR the system.
also freezes playing restart the computer.
when the computer is asleep after resume does not react more, it turns but is completely frozen.
besides that he needs more fluidity.
mapping the full screen key does not fit well because of the lower task bar.
but that is only corrected manually adjusting the size of the games.
You can not be installed launchers and assume that android is customizable.
change those icons so ugly: P
some games run smoothly but many do not work.
examples:
baseball superstar 2013
Zenonia 5
ZENONIA S
candy crush and all games dl same developer
battle camp
demon souls ... the list is longer but are just a few examples.
I hope to do more compatible with those games.
jetpack joyride also runs slow and that in phoennix will operate normally.
I do this because I work with system installation and I would like to install this system to my clients and do not have many problems and they can do their jobs, watch videos, play and do everything smoothly.
so users expand this excellent system. jide thank for this, I hope I read and take into account.
and the laptop that I use is very, very common where I live.[/FONT]​
Why I'm getting stuck on setup wizard in RemixOS 3.0 ??
Sent from my ONE E1003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I also installed the new marshmallow update on my 2015 Dell Xps 13 with the touch screen. Wifi is non existent. The system looks promising, but without wifi I'm not going to even give it a try.
You know...I am getting tired of this stupid linux/open source/remixos driver situation. I mean...it's 2016. Are we still having trouble with a god damn wifi? The wifi dongle is such a ubiquitous tool. We have wifi everywhere - but no, we don't have drivers for them. Seriously? Do we even *need* drivers for such a simple device? And then graphics. Of course, graphics. NVidia launches the Pascal architecture, AMD launches the 400 series - but wait, we are on linux or a futile linux hack called remixos. We don't get access to all that. We need opensource drivers.
What in the name of sweet baby jezus is all this crap? We have PCs for over 60 years folks. 60 god damn years. And we still lack basic boilerplate drivers like graphics and wifi? See? This is exactly why I don't bother with hacks like remix os or linux. Yes, I am including linux here because no hardware vendor supports it properly. Hell, I could extend this to the whole open source ecosystem. I don't use that. I don't want that. I want supported devices.
I am tired of browsing forums to help me get my god damn wifi or printer working. It's been 60 years of personal computing folks, we deserve better. That's exactly why I am ranting and will always rant about this. And for sure I will get a chromebox when android play store comes to chrome os and will say goodbye to PCs forever. Remix OS for PC - what a god damn joke. If it's for PCs, make it actually run on PCs.

Have anyone tried the Crossover app on your Yoga book (Wine)

Crossover is actually a commercial version of Wine with some extras. It's an application that, makes it possible to run Windows programs (.exe files) on other OS. It only works with Chromebook/Android devices with X86 processors
https://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-android
I have installed it on my Yoga Book and i got Steam and Unreal Tournament 2004 running. I also tried with Unreal Tournament GOTY and Battlefield, but i ran into some problems.
Does Krita work ?
I am thinking about installing Crossover. When I did the basic research I got confused about it running on Chrome vs. Android. Thanks for pointing out it works on the Yoga Book. I have applied and hope to get approved for the beta. I'll report back if and when I do.

I don't know, because i can't run or install exe files. I can only run programs and games installed by the build in installer or steam. I wrote that as a feedback to the developer. Also that we can't use Esc key since it acts as the back button.
what about the windows performance then and the required space?

I havent mesaured the performance. But you can expect it to a lot better than dosbox, since it's not actually an Emulator That is also why your hardware need to have a x86 processor. It's also early to judge the performance, since it's still in Alpha.
It doesn't require a lot of space. I can't see how much space it uses since i have a couple games installed. The app itself were around 70 mb when i installed it.
FTL doesn't start up, sadly

Ok i just figured out, that the exe files must placed on the c drive to be runable. Krita x86 has a critical error when i try to run it. It might be fixed, since the app only is in alpha stage. I tried to run it as windows 7 and windows 10. maybe i need to manually install some aditional programs or modules like directx
Just got a reply from the developer. I should look out for an update with improved application compatibility. Sounds great to me
Crossover is using 416 mb space with nothing installed in it.
Thanks for sharing this info. I signed up and hope to test drive this on my Yoga Book too.
Hope to have some Windows photoshop action on the go.
Could not get Windows Gimp to install. Is there a lean version of photoshop or Lightroom that works with crossover Android yet?
There is a new update out. It should improve on compability, and it has a new interface.
How long did take for the beta invite to come? I would really like to give this a go, and i'm checking my email hourly.
Couple days

What is the procedure to installing crossover on to the yoga book? I'm interested in using it but I'm a little confused on the installation process cay you help/advise please. Si
Installing of crossover is just an install from the play store, once your accepted on the beta test. (It wont appear before.) After that, you then install the windows apps your interested in, from within Crossover. Steam works well if that's what your after. Tried a few games. I could not get any versions of IE to work yet. Not that most people would want to. Otherwise it depends what windows apps you want.
Office does not work, at least the 2016 or 2013 version
Hello
Have anyone had any success in using Crossover? After the last update I can't get steam to run anymore. And I have C&C Red alert running. But it's running in a tiny window and the window goes black when the menu appear. I have been playing around with the resolution setting, but it doesn't help.

Guy from Codeveawers replied
"A lot of the lightweight OpenGLES 3D graphics system that Android uses hasn't been connected into the corresponding OpenGL hooks that Crossover Android is trying to translate yet. So a lot of game titles will display a blank black screen or distorted graphics when run in Crossover Android. We continue to work on this and it should be able to run more games correctly over time."
I can run Finale 2014, Gimp 2.0, Libre Office, Text games editor, Mozilla Firefox, Note pad++.
I have tried games, but only Freeciv works good.
I have Zenfone 2 on RR 5.7.4.

Is there any emulator which runs on linux which will run snapchat?

I had been using genymotion for some months after alot of headaches finding a working combo to get it going but now after several frustrating days I have run out of ideas of how to get it going again on that so looking to other solutions. The error I get with snapchat is 'oh no! you cant sign in temporarily' (paraphrased) with newer versions of snapchat and with older versions it either crashes instantly or says there was a problem connecting to the server.
I am considering buying a cheap smartphone (don't have one otherwise still using a super oldschool mobile in my life) as a 'final solution' however that is my last resort as I prefer the software route where possible simply cos I am a cheapskate mainly however I really need to do some work with phones and so might have to get one in the end cause emulators seem nothing but trouble- with snapchat at least!
So this is my last stand at trying to find a software solution. Is there anything else around that still works with snapchat and works on linux? I don't understand why but most things I read say that windows based emulators such as nox and andyroid work with snapchat. Why would they work and not the linux offerings?
I tried getting nox going on a vm but again that was a nightmare and ended in failure. After getting past a slew of nox requirements in the vm I was eventually told/found out it doesnt work from within a vm.
I also tried stock android-sdk (this is what I use mostly since I only needed genymotion for arm translation due to snapchat no longer supporting x86) however after navigating the agonisingly slow load times of arm emulation, again I was not able to get in.
Any other ideas?
