With just a single click, you can just sit back and watch as BlueStacks scans and optimizes your disk space. įor those who are unfamiliar, this tool does exactly what its name implies it cleans up all the space of uninstalled apps that is still reserved by our emulator and frees it up so you can use it for anything else on your PC. One of the biggest features in this update is one that was already present back in BlueStacks 4, and is now returning to BlueStacks 5: The Disk Cleanup Tool. Optimize Disk Space in BlueStacks 5 With the Disk Cleanup Tool Let’s start with the new features that were added in version 5.6 before moving on to the things that were improved. And in this article, we’ll be going through most of these additions, as well as focusing on some of the most notable aspects. Jokes aside, the latest BlueStacks update corresponding to version 5.6 is short but sweet, offering a few important new tools to improve your mobile gaming experience on PC even more if such a thing was even possible. Pinch-to-zoom is also supported on mouse trackpads.Another update, another bit of awesome news such is the way of things in the life of a BlueStacks user. LayerCake also duplicates Android device's accelerometer tilting in applications and games that utilize it with the mouse or arrow keys. Besides leveraging the Windows device's processor, be it x86 or ARM, BlueStacks can access the system's graphics hardware to accelerate the program's graphics processing. Instead, it emulates just enough of Android Davlik to server as a bridge between the application and Windows' APIs. Like Wine, BlueStacks doesn't emulate the actual hardware of a device. It does this by bridging the gap between the Windows program's application programming interface (API) calls and the underlying operating system. This popular open-source program, along with its commercial brother, CrossOver, enables Linux, Mac OS X, and other Unix users to run Windows applications.

The most well-known modern emulator is Wine.


While BlueStacks plans to patent some of the technology in its Android emulator, LayerCake, the technique dates back for decades. BlueStacks does this not by using a virtual machine (VM) as such but by running an emulation of the Android Davlik (also a VM) on top of Windows.
