[Coco] Best emulator for Windows nowadays?

[Joel Rees]

Well, this tablet is a bit older than 3.2.6, even, and is pretty tight for
space anyway. I'll just be patient.

> This is an older build and is a prime example of how an older emulator
can still be useful. It's resources are very minimal and should work on
most older versions of Android

jellybean.   4.0 plus.    It may work for Honeycomb but I have not tried
that on a 3.2.6 build

> 6) Use the Android command line to load files into the emulator:

>    $ am start -a android.intent.action.RUN \
>          -n uk.org.six809.xroar/.MainActivity \
>          -d filename.cas

> 7) You can also feed keyboard input to the emulator:

>     $ am start -a android.intent.action.SEND \
>                -n uk.org.six809.xroar/.MainActivity \
>                -e android.intent.extra.TEXT "PRINT MEM"
>
> 8) In an external file browser (Ultra Explorer is recommended),
>    select WAV, CAS, ROM files and "Open With" XRoar.
