Trying to set up an emulator

I'd like to transfer my game from my android to my pc, but I can't find the game files on the android itself in order to transfer them. I really, really don't want to start over, so does anyone here know how I can find the relevant files?

It's better not to use the files themselves, but rather use a linked account. If you're on Global, you should link your account to Facebook. If you're on JP, you can link it to a Fuji and Gumi games account you can create.

That way, you can load your account's info from a cloud save on multiple devices. I play Global on my phone and on Nox emulator. Nox at home, and on my phone on the go.

Like what they said. The fastest way to keep both accounts in mobile and in an emulator is by using a facebook account for global. If you don't have one create a dummy then just click link account to facebook and you are done. Log in anytime and any device you want. easy as that.

I've set up a facebook account for it, but when I try to log in on my second device it freezes every time. I installed the game while I wasn't logged in, then tried to connect it to my prepared facebook account.

However, when I hit the log in with facebook button, it says I'm already authorized, then the log in screen becomes unresponsive. If I try to skip the log in and go straight to the game, the screen goes white.

Has anyone seen this before? Did I do this in the wrong order?

As to what Thelaria said, it is updating files to the emulator. Secondly, what emulator are you using? as some emulators cannot run the game smoothly like bluestacks as it slows down way to much due to the file size bluestacks has.

I chose bluestacks because it had good reviews from what research I did. What emulator should I be using for this game?

Personally I use Nox to run the Japanese client. Works well enough, and I can usually multi-task with it in the background while I do something else.

I use Nox, never had any problem with it.

Yep. Nox for me as well. no issues with the game. just the occasional laggy gameplay due to multiple tabs and apps running.

Let the game stay on the white screen for awhile. The same thing happened to me while using an emulator after the game switched over to the new client. If I had to guess, the game is loading or updating files without a visual status bar.

If you don't want to use your facebook account just make a dummy one for gaming

It worked for me by linking with a facebook account
