Latest install doesn't work (clean)
stops at:
init: cannot find '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh',disabling 'flash_recovery'
Oracle VM Virtual Box is working on same system.
Dot net is up to date.
Any suggestions?

Did you start the VM using shortcut on desktop? Don't start the VM from VirtualBox.exe.

Ofcourse :)
The first time a splash image flashes on the screen, then nothing.
After waiting ages, the process has to be forcefully stopped.
By starting it from the manager, it is possible to see the errors.

Just wanna say thanks for your latest version!

It works as intended, I like the customized folder installation.
I can play Shadowverse in your emulator with no problem!

Keep up the good work!

How do I update Leapdroid without losing my data?
It is possible to back up your data. The data is located at Documents\Leapdroid\VMs\vm1 under data.vmdk. Save this file elsewhere before you uninstall and reinstall the updated version of Leapdroid. Finally, replace your data.vmdk back to its original location.
If you use above method to upgrade Leapdroid and get "unknown internal error" on the next run. Here's the solution:
- Go to Leapdroid Installation folder and run VirtualBox.exe
- Menu File -> Virtual Media Manager
- In Hard Disk tab you will see your data.vmdk with triangle icon
- Right click on data.vmdk (the one with triangle icon) -> choose Release
- Right click on data.vmdk again -> choose Remove
- Close Virtual Media Manager
- Open vm1 setting
- In Storage section -> re-add data.vmdk

@huisinro: please update your help section with above steps 'cos the error definitely occurs in the second run after replacing data.vmdk.

Leapdroid (Emulator) vs Remix OS for PC (Native Android OS for PC)

which do u think will win?
This is a good question. One thing I'd like to mention, very few people play games on desktop Linux. Pretty much most games perform better on Windows than on Linux. The reason is that Windows uses DirectX, whereas Linux uses OpenGL, and GPU vendors supply much better DirectX driver support for Windows, compared to OpenGL counterpart for Linux.

Virtual Machines, such as LeapDroid, can forward android OpenGL calls to windows DirectX engine, and thus take advantage of the much better GPU support. If you native boot the PC into Android, like Remix, one can only use the Linux OpenGL drivers, which are much poorly supported by vendors.

In summary, Leapdroid graphics performance has a better chance beating Remix.

This is my favorite emulator by far. My only complaint is that the graphics aka resolution are absolutely horrible. Of course you can turn up the resolution, but that in turn makes everything smaller....

Problem with simultaneous VMs

Greetings,

I am running 3 Android VMs at the same time through LeapDroid.

The first two are working normally, but there is no keyboard input in the third one (which is a clone of the second VM through the VirutalBox interface).

For an odd reason, VM3's keyboard works fine unless VM2 is running at the same time, at this point, the keyboard inputs in the VM3 are sent in VM2.

Is there a way to fix this please?

Do you have an idea of what could create this issue?

Thank you for your time and help.

Sir Devs, after I successfully installed LeapDroid, it closed itself after being opened for few seconds.
Reinstalled, but the problem still occurs. Please help..
