Switch emulation on Android may have hit a wall recently due to the lawsuit from Nintendo, but I believe the emulation scene is just as strong as it's ever been.
Mobox is a popular PC emulator for Android, so it allows you to play some of your favorite PC games directly on your Android smartphone or tablet, and today I'll be showing you how to install it.
But first, we have a quick word from today's sponsor.
PlayStoreSales.com is the website to find the latest Android app and game sales that are available.
The website is updated every weekday and it even has a section to find apps and games that have been temporarily discounted to free.
These paid apps and games can only be registered to your account for free while this sale is going on.
So check out www.PlayStoreSales.com and get them all before the developer increases the price again.
Now, let's get back to showing you how to install Mobox on your Android smartphone or tablet.
To begin, we are going to need to install Termux
I have these links in the video description as well, but you can also find them directly linked in the Mobox Github page as well.
After the Termux APK has been installed, let's do the same for Termux-X11.
So we first grab the APK file and then we manually install it on our Android device.
Lastly, you will want to download the Input Bridge APK file
The installation page says this app is required for touch controls.
Now that we have all three components installed, we can finally start installing Mobox.
And we do that by first launching the Termux application.
Then we need to execute the following command. . .
curl -s -o ~/x raw.githubusercontent.com/ole... && . ~/x
You can either type this command in manually. . .or you can paste it into the Termux window.
Then press Enter to execute it so we can begin the installation process.
With all of that done, the last thing we need to do is execute the command. . .

We have now fully installed Mobox on Android and can begin installing your favorite PC games.
But we can also configure Termux-X11 as well, if you don't like the presets that are displayed here.
You also may want to look into installing Wine through the Manage Packages menu.
We can select a Wine container via option 4 of the main menu.
And from the Wine Start Menu, we have the ability to install Mesa VirGL, Turnip, Wine Mono and Gecko
Depending on what you need to emulate your favorite PC games.
Mobox can seem quite complex at first, but the more you spend time with it, the easier it is to get games installed and running.
Root is not required, but if you have an older device then using the OOM Adjuster can help prevent Termux from being killed due to low on RAM.
You should be able to play DirectX 9 games using Mesa VirGL on most Android smartphones and tablets.
But if you want the best performance then you will need a device with an Adreno 600 series GPU, or even a higher-end one like something between the Adreno 725 and Adreno 740.
That's because those have the best compatibility with Turnip and DXVK.
If you run into any issues, or just have some questions about this process, then please do not hesitate to leave a comment down below.
