You will probably need an emulator to run Opera Mini on computer. I run the old Opera Mini java version on my computer using an emulator.

I think the old java version you just needed linux java setup. But the newer one you would need an android emulator. Might be better off running it on a small native system or booting android for intel. Android_x86? Or just install it on an android phone and use scrcpy in Puppy to pump it up to size you want on your computer screen.

I played with android emulators few years ago. They were slow, one even informed me my hardware wasnt new enough, it needed some dealiebop or other that my old computer didnt have. Seriously boot from Android_x86 or some such, much happier run natively.

I've used amethyst's version that he packaged up as an SFS, with built-in emulator.

Runs fine for me. No need for separate Android, which is a PITA to get working properly anyway.

Mike. ;)
