- kllrnohj 3y agoAre you not using an x86 emulator or something? Forget to install or enable your CPU virtualization extensions? Because the emulator ain't sluggish, and if it is you'd get that same sluggishness with WSA since it's largely the same underlying tech. It's still using a virtual machine and emulation, it's not like a simulator.
- neodymiumphish 3y agoWhat’s being emulated? You can’t install Arm Android apps in x86 WSA.
- kllrnohj 3y agoEverything? It's a Hyper-V virtual machine hence how it can run Android's Linux kernel & HALs. It's not doing ARM emulation as well, but it's still an emulator at heart.
- nor0x 3y agoi am using an x86 emulator - booting it up takes about twice as long though compared to WSA. Also being able to dynamically resize the Window as need was nice to test different sizes directly within WSA instead of having multiple emulators running
