Drastic on Remix OS

[Exophase]

So you are planning a Windows 10 version?

Trying for a UWP version (Windows 10 desktops and phones), but of course no promises.

Sounds like you finally caved in to Equiziel Gomes's pleas... I can imagine he's pretty happy right now.

I don't have Windows 10 (I'm the only guy on the planet that likes Windows 8), so if you could make the desktop port compatible with older versions, that would be awesome.

I loathe the idea of requiring Windows 10, but the Windows Store only allows UWP apps. It might be possible to get them to run on Windows 8.1, I'm not totally sure on this. But I never really considered requiring Windows 8+ to be much different.

There isn't a technical problem in doing a desktop app version, and in addition to working in Windows 7 it has benefits like being able to directly access ROMs without having to copy them. But there's the whole logistics problem of finding somewhere to put it without giving it away or making it ad-supported. If it were only used on desktops and laptops I'd consider making it free (depending on what Lordus thinks as well of course) but I don't really want that to be available on tablets. Especially since ultra-cheap Windows tablets compete with Android tablets.

For Windows 10 desktop (I have Windows 10 on my pc), will it be paid or free? What about for people who already bought it on android?

If it comes out on Windows Store it'll be paid.

If there was a way to give current Android users access to it for free automatically I'd do that, but I doubt that's really feasible. And if it has to be done manually through codes and whatever that's just too much to offer hundreds of thousands of people.

The incentive is mostly for tablets (primarily w/Atom) and phones. On decent spec'd desktops and laptops there's always DeSmuME and No$GBA.

If you need someone to test I have a z3735f based tablet with some nice bonus (for testing features).
Micro hdmi (for multi screen testing)
Full sized usb to test controllers.
2GB of ram (not all have 2GB)

Thanks, I'll let you know if we ever get to that point.

And I can test it on my Acer Aspire E15 laptop also. It doesn't do great when it comes to PC gaming (can't even run Dolphin at 60fps, but it can run Project64), so I think it would be a good candidate for if you want to try a more low-end device.

This is kind of "off-topic" but, Exophase, I wold like to know what are the chances for adding an option to upload native nds cartridge saves to GoogleDrive instead of savestates?

I'm fine with DraStic being on Android only. lol

It's up to Lordus, so I'll let him answer that.
