    No Bluestacks is not illegal nor will it get you banned.
    Unlike cheat hacks/engines etc, Bluestacks is purely an Android emulator for PC, it does not give you any additional power-up’s usage, etc.

    Some of the weekly tournaments favour PC, others iOS or Android…. i don’t have any iOS applicable platform but I do have PC and Android but prefer the large screen Bluestacks via my 27″ PC monitor.

    but emulators like snes9x and visualboyadvance ARE illegal and on some forums I may not talk about them

    so I’m free to use bluestacks?

    @corporalpig Yes, you can play Angry Birds on BlueStacks, it’s not illegal. (for now, at least)

    can you also use what’s described in the ultimate backup guide to play using bluestacks with your save originally started on a phone or tablet?

    Hey does anybody have a “video playback error” thing for video bonuses
    Because some videos put that on the screen when ever I try to get A video bonus
    And when i return to the game it says “You need to watch the whole vidoe to claim your reward”
    Does anybody else have this problem?
    And if you do, have you a solution?
    If you do please give a reply

    Yes, I have gotten the video playback error for all my Android devices and Bluestack. Some days it is really bad and other days no problems. I believe it is just a lag time issue, just like when the game won’t load and says “pigs are wreaking havoc on the servers.”

    This is SG
    @sahil-gagrai

    @ravinda-bulathgama It’s not illegal to play ABFight! in Bluestacks, because it is really an Android system which is emulating in a program. And I play all the AB games which need internet or any .obb file in it. But except ABEpic, because it doesn’t show up at all, even when having the .obb file and internet. I also tried in my tablet but nothing works. I also reported to Rovio about this in many previous updates, but still didn’t work. And also ABPop! but it runs fine in tablet.

    Isn’t the Matilda Glitch only showing up on Bluestacks? Since glitch scores are not allowed and Matilda only glitches in Bluestacks then, technically, any score a person obtains with Matilda glitch on Bluestacks is an illegal score (for the purposes of competing on ABN.)
    As for the ‘my thread’ issue – the originator had already gotten an answer and we are all here to help ach other. Many times one can be discussing one issue and it triggers the nenory of another incident which leads to questions. I don’t see this as ‘hijacking’ anyone’s thread. If this had been set up by admins to address a specific topic and it got WAY astray that’s different.

    Good luck all!

    It isn’t illegal. Super Nintendo, Gameboy, and other such emulators are illegal because they need to include software copies of the physical game system hardware ROMs to work. That is where it gets legally murky.

    Running an OS is not, in and of itself, illegal. Now, if your emulator is trying to emulate the hardware of a physical device, say an iPad, then it would be illegal. If the OS, such as iOS, requires certain firmware to run, firmware that isn’t normally contained in your PC, then it would require a copy of the device’s firmware to run. It is that copy that makes the emulator illegal.

    I agree to the extent that Bluestacks is legal because it’s nothing but Android for your computer.
    However… Even though it’s off-topic it was mentioned several times so I gotta give some input. Emulators like Snes9x or VisualBoyAdvance are not illegal as stand-alone software. You can start them up without having any ROMs from the internet, which makes them just programs with next to no function. Once you start a game on these emulators, and that game was downloaded for free on the internet, they get illegal. Again, that’s because you got something copyrighted that you’re supposed to buy for real money on a cartridge, CD or as a digital download – not because of the emulating software.

    What I’m not sure about is whether it would be legal if you had, for example, an actual SNES, an actual legal copy of a game with a Nintendo Seal of Quality, and then somehow managed to make a copy of that legal copy to use on the emulator, as long as it stays in private use and you share it with no one else. Any law experts here?

    What’s the advantage to download B.S since you can play Facebook ABF on PC ?

    RedYoshi45
    @smwforever45

    Because Bluestacks allows you to play any Angry Birds game in the Google Play Store. Not just Friends but also Stella, Epic, Fight!, Space etc.
    Some used Bluestacks to claim some free Lucky Coins in Angry Birds Epic that Rovio only made available on Android.

    @smwforever45, ok I get that, but playing ABF on PC with BS produces higher scores versus mobile right, since big points glitches occur mostly on mobile, which platform gives you advantage? Thanks

    I play ABF on Blustacks and my little Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini phone and I actually get better matilda glitches and usually higher scores on the phone.

    Alan
    @alan-leon-wautier

    Apparently rovio is working on unifying scores across all platforms and eliminating mathilda glitch. Until then it does seems playing ABF on mobile device does give you better scores.
