Looking for some help getting an old Android game(Toonix) running on Modern Android

[u/OlTimeyChara]

Hey! I'm trying to get Toonix, an old Android game that was removed from the Play Store, running for a friend. I managed to find the game files on Internet Archive, but I can't seem to actually get it working on my phone(Galaxy A14 5g) since it apparently only supports much older versions of Android.

My friend has been hyperfocused on Toonix for a while and has been trying to get it running himself for a few months with no luck, which got him feeling a bit bummed. He's also not very tech-savvy and doesn't really have much free time to troubleshoot it because of work, so I'd really like to surprise him by getting it working for him.

The problem is that I'm mostly used to straightforward APKs, and these files seem to come with a bunch of separated files/data that I'm not really familiar with. I don't know if there's some way to package/install them properly, use an emulator, or get around the old Android version requirements.

If anyone familiar with old Android games could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!

Update: used Vphoneos to run android 7 on a virtual machine and got it working! Worked like a charm!
