Rift Mobile app on PC

[Sipecor]

I was wondering if it's possible to run the rift mobile app on your PC since I don't have a smart phone. Obviously I can play rift on my PC but I can't get the free loot that the app comes with.
I tried an emulator for android but I keep getting a path error.
Someone please help!

It should theoretically run on ICS or Gingerbread on the Android devkit emulator. I haven't tried it, but no reason it shouldn't run. Sort of a pain in the balls to setup though.

It's working, but you can only use chat options, to use lootables you need OpenGL ES 2.0 support. SDK only emulate OpenGL ES 1.2 (or lower).

<- tried everything i could try...:
SDK-> no lootables bcause of "no opengl 2.0...on that device"
Bluestacks -> easier to use, but same error at the end: no opengl 2.0

yesterday I tried Virtualbox with android-x86, and almost every version of it (1.6, 2.2, 2.2r2, 2.3 and at the end 4.0, but that one had no internet-connection and the pre-installed version of it with internet-connection didn´t run for me :/)
now i dunno whether its all because there is no way to emulate opengl 2.0 (but i read virtualbox v.3+, i had 4.XX, do support opengl 2.0) or all these versions of android don´t have it
btw. I´m noob, dunno what opengl 2.0 exactly is^^ but read it´s some kind of graphic-funktion that can´t be emulated for android yet

any1 found another way to run riftmobile on pc? maybe via iPhone emulator or something ?

The newest Android SDK emulator is supposed to support OpenGL 2.0.

This was today's (4/10/2012) announcement.

You can also install the latest stable version of gingerbread or another android emulator (there's thousands of them). and then install NVIDIA x86 Windows OpenGL ES 2.0 Emulator or something similar. Good luck guy's

I tried bluestacks and downloaded the nvidia gl thingy and it still said it needed the gl thing so do I need to uninstall the emulator then reinstall since I installed nvidia after the fact?

[abreen28]

Is there an actual emulator that really works? I feel like I've tried everything

I'm having trouble with this too, is there a trick to getting the Open GL error to go away I'm running th emulator on the latest sdk? is it my old graphics card refusing to cooperate?


Thanks for all replies.
