Run the Android mobile operating system on a desktop with APK app side-loading and usage of the Google Play store with many customization options.
XePlayer is a fast and free Android emulator that enables you to play virtually all of the Google Play store titles like games and apps on your PC desktop.
With XePlayer, installation was a breeze and quite quick considering it's installing a new (virtual) operating system on the PC.
Once the emulator has installed, a Android desktop appears on your desktop where you can use your mouse to interact with it. The settings menu, accessible by clicking crank icon, allows you to select the screen resolution, hotkey assignments, memory usage and between OpenGL or DirectX. A few languages are also available for the interface.
XePlayer comes with a few different games installed as well as access to a number of different apps which are available from their web site, but they seem mostly to be ad-based which aren't necessarily very popular or designed for an English-speaking market.
With all of that said, XePlayer does function well as an Android emulator though the interface and layout looks very familiar and pretty similar to other virtual Android desktops from Asia, namely Nox App Player.
