Currently, there are no emulators available for Linux that can run commercial Android games by default. Some alternatives as of yet (September 2021) untested for Victory Belles are the emulator [https://www.genymotion.com/ Genymotion], the compatibility layer [https://anbox.io/ Anbox] and the unofficial OS port [https://www.android-x86.org/ Android-x86]. As these methods are not confirmed to work and involve using rooted filesystems, which may be detected as cheating, they are therefore '''not recommended'''.

#Download a reputable Android emulation environment. One example is LDPlayer, which does contain non-intrusive ads on startup that can be closed. Please add other freeware environments which produce a positive experience.
#It is recommended to set the "Manufacturer" and "Model" values in the emulator ''before'' connecting to a Google account for the first time, as those values will not refresh later on Google's end if you change them after connecting. The reason for this is because the "device" you add via emulation will then be very obvious in the Google App Store--for example, "MyPC LDPlayer" rather than "Samsung GenericPhone."
#Connect your Google account on the emulator.
#Install Victory Belles from the Google Play Store onto "MyPC LDPlayer" or whatever you named your emulated device.
#Create a Victory Belles account, or log into an existing one.
#Start the game. If you need to redeem backer rewards, be sure to do so in the game's options.
