Question About Using Java apps On PC

[Denis Hard]

I installed Java Runtime Environment on my PC because I'd read somewhere that once it's installed and you use KEmulator you'd be able to play Java games on PC which would be convenient because the kids would have less trouble playing a game with a real keyboard. But when I tried to load the game, the loading took like forever. And then the program [KEmulator] stopped responding totally. Could it be a problem with my PC or KEmulator itself doesn't work?

I got the beta version of blue stacks about a year ago works great
Here is the link..I dont know if it is still free or not

It essentially loads gingerbread on my pc and can go the the play store etc.
I dont know anything about the latest version though.

I visited the site [the software is still free] then looked at a few reviews which were not very encouraging: Quote: . . .As it turns out, though, this emulator may not be worth the trouble. . . But I'll take that and any other review. . .with a pinch of salt. Since the software is free, I'll download it and decide for myself whether 'it's worth the trouble' or not. After all, all I need is a java emulator that works fast. Not a program with a great GUI that doesn't work. Thanks for the link.

I use it to try out some software before installing it on my phone
