| Hello. Do you need a windows tablet to run visual novels for PC, or can you somehow make them run on android/iOS? |

| Most VNs are on windows platform but there's some good VNs on DS/Android too, but rare ;) |

vodall said: but it is possible on Android. How? I remember stumbling upon a "converter" of sorts, but didn't actually get it to work. Think it was called VNDS or something like that. vodall said: Still, I wouldn't recommend playing them on mobile devices. Why is that? VNs on a mobile device seems like a match made in heaven to me. Minervalkyrie said: Care to share a few?but there's some good VNs on DS/Android too, but rare ;) I tried playing Saya no Uta on my tablet while running it on my PC via Google's Remote Desktop app, but that's not really a good option. Maybe as a last resort if you're super dedicated, but it just feels clunky as shit. |
| Well most of the android ver. are still in Japanese language tho Steins;Gate & Chaos;Head are good, Narcissu also good imo for the DS ver, there's 999 and Ace Attorney |

| Technicalities (software limitation, etc.) make it difficult to run applications specifically made for Windows in mind on another platform. Because they use resources only Windows can provide, alongside a difference in processor architecture. Either it must be ported first to the platform (popular visual novels have started doing this on Android, AFAIK), or you use an emulator (like Wine on Linux, of sorts) of the script engines that most Visual Novels use, though I doubt one exist for Android and iOS. Your best bet for mobility is a Windows Tablet/Hybrid (not ARM). Couple that with the release of Windows 10... |

| I see, thanks. Has anyone tried running VNs on a windows tablet yet? |

Yes, dirt cheap Windows 8.1 tablets have been extremely popular in the VN community since late 2013 when Intel began giving away Silvermont based Atom processors for free. VNs are 2D and text based so they don't require high performance hardware, as for resolution, you're looking at generally 800x600 or 1280x720, which all tablets these days meet. So just pick one with a preferred screen size. There's lots to pick from, most range from $100 to $300. The HP Stream 7 sells for $99 on Amazon, Dell Venue 8 Pro for $120, Asus T100 with removable keyboard for $200, etc. (Not sure why the low end models in the United States use Z3735G instead of Z3735F which supports 2GB RAM). Keep in mind that aside from VNs, the hardware is enough for just lightweight browsing, videos, office software, and games like minecraft at best (4EU ~500MHz iGPU duh), so know what you're getting. If you'll also be using the tablet for more demanding software, consider the Surface 3 Pro or Core M based tablets (generally $500 and beyond). Anothing to note is that BayTrail-T supports emmc not SATA, so storage is limited to 32-64GB on most models, you'll need an external HDD to store the VNs if you have plenty. Also, you might want to buy one quick since Airmont based tablets are soon going to replace them and Intel isn't subsidizing this time. Very helpful, thanks! edwd2 said: Also, you might want to buy one quick since Airmont based tablets are soon going to replace them and Intel isn't subsidizing this time. So that basically means they're getting more expensive? |

| I have a Windows tablet that I purchased for work. It's performance is even better than Android's(I used to have a shitty Chinese tablet that lagged). The only downside is that it's appstore is shit. It's not that bad for gaming too, you can play PPSSPP at full speed and PCSX2 at a decent speed. Ofc you will need to download Virtual gamepad. Steam games also work like a charm from indie/2D games to Half Life 2. If you are considering Windows tablet. Just don't Install Windows 10 yet. That shit is a mess on tablets. The touch interface is too fucking small on 10, so I had to rollback. As for VNS' read this. http://rockmandash12.kinja.com/rockmandashs-guide-to-visual-novels-on-the-go-1686233801 |
