Using Emulator to play Roblox on Chromebook

Many Windows users might be familiar with this approach to play android applications on Windows. Similarly, we will be using an Emulator to play Roblox on Chromebook. I would suggest you use ARC Welder.

  1. Download the application package and install ARC Welder.

Playing Roblox via Remote computer means that you will be using another computer in order to play Roblox. You will be accessing another computer remotely from your Chromebook to play the game. Follow these steps to play Roblox via Remote computer:

Firstly, make sure that the computer you are planning on to access remotely has a Chrome web browser and Roblox installed. It doesn’t matter if its a Mac or a PC.

  1. Go to Chrome Web Store > Search for Chrome Remote Desktop. LINK
  2. Click on Add to Chrome and add the application.
  3. Repeat the steps 1-3 on the computer that you are planning to access remotely.
  4. Open Chrome Remote Desktop App on your Chromebook and in the Computer that you will access remotely.
  5. Once you are done establishing a connection, you can launch Roblox and start playing.

Note: If you want to use the computer just for one time, you both must choose the Remote Assistance option on the first launch of the app. If you plan to play Roblox on this system often, you can choose My Computers option.

This option will install a Chrome Desktop Host on the remote computer and will establish a trusted connection between your Chromebook and the remote computer.
