Feature request: support rooted and unrooted BlueStacks instances without split junctions #9

Description

Summary

BlueStacks currently crashes when rooted and unrooted instances are used at the same time. At the moment, the only workaround is to split the setup into separate rooted and unrooted junction configurations.

Current behavior

The existing root/no-root junction approach works as a workaround, but it does not seem ideal as a permanent solution.

Problem

This setup introduces unnecessary overhead for users, including:

  • Additional setup complexity
  • Extra disk usage
  • Unnecessary read/write operations
  • More opportunities for user error when switching between rooted and unrooted instances

Requested improvement

Please consider adding an option or alternative implementation that allows rooted and unrooted BlueStacks instances to coexist without requiring the initial split into separate junction setups.

Why this would help

A more direct solution would make the project:

  • Easier to configure
  • Easier to maintain
  • Less resource-intensive
  • More user-friendly for people who need both rooted and unrooted instances

Additional context

I understand the current split/junction design was intended as a workaround. This request is for a more permanent and streamlined solution, if that is technically feasible.
