Features of Nox Emulator:

• Fast, Smooth Gameplay – Speed is always important, and Nox Player is the fastest we have seen so far, not to mention one of the smoothest. The performance settings are customizable, with users able to specify the number of CPUs and the amount of memory (RAM ). For a basic user, 1.5 GB RAM and 2 CPUs should be enough, but you can go much further.
• Controller Compatibility – If you like playing computer games, you know that having a physical controller is far better for gaming than a device touchscreen. With the Nox emulator, support is built-in for all 3rd party controllers, including the Xbox 360 support.
• Android Device Emulation – Real emulation, including your IMEI number, phone model, and phone number, among other device-specific features.
• Root Access – Not all emulators make it easy to get to the root, but the Nox emulator is rooted with SuperUser right from the start, giving you access to your PC files.
