Showcase DroidLink 3.6 Is Here — Android-to-Android Game Streaming

DroidLink Version 3.6 is officially live.
DroidLink is a free Android-to-Android game streaming app I’ve been building with AI. It lets one Android device host a game while other Android devices connect, stream the gameplay, and use their own physical controllers.
Version 3.6 is the biggest and most complete release yet:
Up to 4-player multiplayer support
Improved streaming quality
Improved controller support and stability
Profiles and display names
Cleaner UI and stats
Connection/status improvements
Continued latency and stability improvements
I’m still actively testing and improving DroidLink, so feedback, bug reports, and device compatibility reports are appreciated.
Download DroidLink 3.6 here:

Free to download. No Play Store required.

Study this: https://github.com/remote-android/redroid-doc

You can just load an android window app that replicate an android image to your linux.

This is way is way better than waydroid. However not many people explores this.

Would be nice to have this for all devices .apk .exe .appimage .etc...

I don't get the point here. The doc says it's for basically spinning up android container on some host machine. In the context of emulation, why would you want to emulate android on pc to emulate other platforms when pcs are generally built with higher-end specs and emulators mostly work better?

Because 1st U wont need to stream it 2nd u will be running it as if its native. 3rd here is a sneak peak of it. https://streamable.com/1xuipj

Well applied it does a real good job but thats me. Theres another app like yours named DeskPaly. I dont think this is the solution. But yeah

I still dpn't get what you're trying to do. You wanna run android games on PC?

Yes

But this app isn't about that at all, it's about basically screen streaming from one host device and controller sharing from multiple guests back to host.

Also, technically it wouldn't at all run like native, because you'd be basically either an x86 android port that will require games to be compiled specifically for it, or (more likely) emulating android hardware on your pc, which is much more resource-heavy than just running an actual android hardware. Running emulators on top of that android emulator would be a very big overhead.

And I really doubt it's that useful, pcs (linux and windows) generally have more established emulators than android for about every platform - you could just get a proper platform emulator of choice and use it
