SmartGaGa is a free Android emulator for Windows PCs, intended for playing Android games and running apps.

The site names Free Fire, PUBG Mobile, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, and Cyber Hunter as supported games. Its Titan Engine is described as non-virtualized, so CPU virtualization does not need to be enabled; the site says it reduces machine load and memory use and can run with 2 GB of RAM. Turbo GPU is described as improving GPU performance and helping maintain gameplay frame rates, while Smart Mode is intended to make mobile games feel more like PC games.
