bought DraStic on S5 - can I get DraStic on other devices?

Post by Viminalis » Tue Sep 22, 2015 10:36 pm

I have an apple tablet and win 10 pc - drastic isnt appearing in my pc's app store but should it be? it's an asus TP500L so it has a touch screen and transforms into a tablet as needed so i could use it like i do my ph. it doesnt seem to be on the apple store either - or am i doing something dumb? x'D (outside of my usual nub shenanigans)

Sorry, it's only available for Android. Appearing on the iOS app store is never going to happen since Apple doesn't allow emulators. I never really considered windows tablets as much of an interested audience for this since the higher end ones can run DeSmuME or No$GBA for free. The more recent wave of Atom Windows tablets may not fall under that category, but yours should. I'd recommend giving them a shot.

Could you port it to iOS otherwise? Emulation, in my eyes, is a lot more quirkier than most common softwares.

As far as I know Apple still does not allow emulators in it's store. So at a bare minium DraStic on iOS would require jailbreak.

I am also unsure if DraStic requires just in time (ahead of time) compiling to work effectively. If it does I do not think ios allows that.

Can confirm, there's no emulators on the app store, he'd have to release it on cydia, and there's no financial incentive to do so.

And that would be a barrier to entry even if you put the application on Cydia. More so if it's payware.
