Is there an equivalent of Wine but for Android instead of Windows?

I must be doing it wrong, I've waited over an hour at this screen...

@Tsaukpaetra Did you download the ISO and try running it in VirtualBox, or did you download the EXE installer and let it do its thing? "Remix OS" != "Remix OS Player"

Did the OS download.

Apparently the installer makes a hard disk image and copies the disc contents to it, and adds an entry to the grub uefi, which it installs.

Why use a fucking ISO format if it wasn't meant to be used as a disc then??!?!

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing...

Shouldn't involve VirtualBox at all. The file I downloaded wasn't an ISO, it was a Remix OS Player.exe with a 7zip icon (it's a self-extracting archive). I extracted to C:\ and it spit out a RemixOSPlayer directory containing a RemixOSPlayer.exe. From there it's just like in the video, except that on the machine I'm testing on it doesn't like my hardware.

Ah, no. Apparently we're talking about similar things, but not exactly. The one I got was apparently a full OS install image, not a "player" executable. I'll hunt around for that.

Android emulation used to be much much worse.

I had a Quad Core 6600 and 8GB of ram on my Win 7 system in 2008, I had problems running Android 3 / 4 in emulation on hardware that wouldn't be considered rubbish now.

@lucas1 it was awful. Several minutes to start the emulator up, and at least 30 seconds to deploy a new build, which would then be super laggy and crash more often than not (that last bit might just be my less than stellar Android coding skills)

@LB_ If you want to run Android programs on desktop, there is a Chrome extension which can do that:
