Android Emulator Container Scripts
Minimal scripts to run the emulator in a container for various systems
android-emulator-container-scripts turns the Android Emulator into a cloud-native service you can run in Docker and Kubernetes, so teams can provision ephemeral Android devices on demand. It includes scripts and container images that configure the emulator for headless operation, wire up networking, and expose endpoints for ADB and web access. A built-in WebRTC bridge lets you stream the emulator screen to a browser with interactive input, which is ideal for CI dashboards, remote debugging, or demo environments. The project focuses on reproducibility and scale: you define which system image to boot, how to persist or reset data, and how many instances to run, then schedule them like any other workload. GPU acceleration, audio, and sensors can be enabled depending on your host and cluster capabilities, while fallbacks like SwiftShader keep things usable when no GPU is available. -

pfeMAME
Python front end for MAME that can run in Linux, Windows, and MacOS
pfeMAME is a front end for the Multiple Arcade Game Emulator (MAME) written in (wx)Python. It is cross platform (tested on Linux (Ubuntu), Windows (7, 8, 10, 11), and MacOS. ). It also includes a graphical Tile View designed for MAME cabinets which allows control using joystick / gamepad. It supports favourite game flagging, MESS systems, Software Lists (for systems), per-rom input mapping, and launching of other emulation engines. pfeMAME was written by Gareth Finch and the development project started in 2014 . The goal was to create a MAME front end that was simple, as easy as possible to get into, and had some good documentation. It doesn't provide access to every single MAME option, but pretty much all of the relevant ones you will use from day-to-day. You are free to distribute pfeMAME and modify its source as you wish, however pfeMAME is not to be sold or repackaged for commercial sale. -

Simplify
Android virtual machine and deobfuscator
Simplify virtually executes an app to understand its behavior and then tries to optimize the code so that it behaves identically but is easier for a human to understand. Each optimization type is simple and generic, so it doesn't matter what specific type of obfuscation is used. Provides a virtual machine sandbox for executing Dalvik methods. After executing a method, it returns a graph containing all possible register and class values for every execution path. It works even if some values are unknown, such as file and network I/O. For example, any if or switch conditional with an unknown value results in both branches being taken. Analyzes the execution graphs from smalivm and applies optimizations such as constant propagation, dead code removal, unreflection, and some peephole optimizations. These are fairly simple, but when applied together repeatedly, they'll decrypt strings, remove reflection, and greatly simplify code. It does not rename methods and classes. -

Android Emulator M1 Preview
Preview of some basic Android emulation functionality
android-emulator-m1-preview captured the early effort to bring the Android Emulator to Apple Silicon by targeting the ARM64 host and macOS virtualization APIs. The preview introduced native builds that avoid x86 translation, dramatically improving boot time, UI smoothness, and battery usage on M1-class Macs. It documented limitations typical of a preview—graphics features, sensor fidelity, and compatibility quirks—while outlining the path to parity with established macOS targets. Developers could test app installs, basic input, and network scenarios to validate their toolchains ahead of mainstream IDE support. The project also served as a staging ground for feedback on Hypervisor.framework usage, Metal rendering, and system image formats for ARM guests. Although superseded by stable emulator releases, it remains a useful historical reference for how Android tooling crossed the Apple Silicon transition. -
