    Some users online have also recommended a virtual machine (VM) running an older version of Android to play 32-bit games. But this solution hasn’t worked for me, likely due to the intrinsic hardware limitations here.

    I wonder if this refers to running the VM on a PC or on a smartphone. Are modern smartphone SoCs performant enough to run a 32 bit Android VM for some older games?

      I mean, Google just updated the newer Pixels to run a literal Debian VM, so… I don’t see why not.

      Sure they are, I believe. The performance of of todays mobile processors should be a multiple of that of desktop processors 15 years ago. The performance of the game played might be shitty though, lol
