I'm confused too, how do you install the zip file?

Even one of the feedback posts mentions problem solved by "just installing the emulator version".

So I download arm32.zip in, say, firefox, and then what? Open it with PilBox just crashes. Clicking it in a file manager shows me the zip contents. Am I supposed to extract it somewhere? I'm not rooted so can't see the app dirs.

The easiest way seems to be to download it with a browser, and then immediately click on "open" in the little dialog which pops up in the browser after it downloaded the zip. It is then passed to PilBox.

Clicking on a Zip in the Downloads app works on some devices, but other systems only offer to extract the files which does not help here.
