DraStic

Please, mades Drastic ds for windows phone, PLEASE!!! I need DraStic !!

If I am not mistaken DraStic requires code execution at runtime otherwise known as Jit compiling. So unless you can convince microsoft to allow that kind of access to it's developers of windows phone/ universal apps you probably will not see DraStic or many of the other high end emulators.

The other small issue is I do not think that microsoft would even allow an emulator in it's store. I do not think they have a kind opinion of emulation.

I have seen emulators on the Windows Store, so I guess Microsoft does allow them.

Yeah when on a friend's windows phone I spotted a VBA-M port in the store and it seemed to work

Oh that is excellent. To be honest I have only looked at the windows app store once (to get netflix on a windows 8.1 tablet) and never really looked into the majority of the apps.

Unfortunatly if DraStic requires jit to work then it still won't be able to be on a windows phone or unjailbroken ios device due to runtime code execution being not accessible to developers. BUt to be honest I would be all for a windows phone version of drastic.... especially because I am seriously considering one as my next phone.

If DraStic for Windows Phone happens, do you think that it could come to Windows laptops as well? I'd love to be able to play DS games at 60 fps (desumme sucks) on my laptop!

I doubt your laptop has an ARM processor so the performance difference would be trivial. Drastic performs badly on x86 phones too

quoting exo on this

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.
