Ugh .... getting rough to find games anymore for XP. Hopefully we'll find something suitable as I'm also on ancient (failing) hardware but still huffing and puffing along, I guess, until its last breath.I use BlueStacks on my newer Windows boxes and it works pretty well working with all the games I have on my phone. Unfortunately they don't have a version that will work on XP.
NoxPlayer has an older version on their website that works on XP.

I downloaded version 5.0.0.1 and it did install on my XP machine but wouldn't run - it complained that it needed at least 2 GB RAM (I only have 512 MB) and it needed at least a dual core CPU with either Intel VT-x or AMD-V. My newer PCs all meet these requirements but not my Compaq V2000. No such thing as a lightweight Android emulator for XP, they all have to emulate an ARM CPU for apps to work properly.
