So insanely convenient. It's a really good device for reading Mangoo too
>>115565128
I have a nexus 7 too.
Is there any way to read with an text hooker though? I'm still studying my moonrunes.
>using an Android tablet
Get a real tablet.
>>115565128
what novels can you play on it?
>>115565335
I wish I wasn't poor now and I could afford a new tablet.
>>115565128
>>115565474
I also have a nexus 7. Go on..
I mean tablets are the PERFECT way to play VNs. Can sit in bed and get comfy. Touch screen applications.
>tfw have a HTC 1 M8 with Microsoft
What can i even do with this phone?
>>115565128
Have you tried torrented mkv's? I'm running Asus's own version of the Nexus platform, their memo HD 7, and can't get the subtitle files to display. I've tried at least four of the most downloaded media players.
>>115565335
I want one, but it's $1000 vs $100 and I already built a desktop
>>115565335

No thanks, Bill, I'm afraid I don't have the five bajillion shekels you demand for such a device.
>Get some VNs for my Kindle
>Suddenly, less than 10% space left
Welp.
Back to PC, I guess.
>>115565703
I can run mkvs perfectly fine on my Nexus, same one OP has, through MX player.
>>115565681
Deadfish encodes work well, you can natively run AVI and MP4 most of the time. MKV player will play mkvs obviously, can't remember if that one displays subtitles or not.
>>115565703
uTorrent works like a charm though.
>>115565474
Other than ones with native build as listed in the database, there is RenPy builder for android.
>>115565335
For some reason all RenPy games I've tried on my W7 tablet burn through battery faster than 10bit videos or 3D games unless I manually throttle CPU to 400MHz.
>>115565128
I love walking around with my volume at max without headphones and reaching a sex scene in my VN so that everyone can hear it
>>115565601
I don't really luke tablets but they do seem great foe vn's.
I've played a few vn's and games that are text heavy to the point of basically veing vn's like corpse party, and the ability to lie in bed while playing makes them so much easier to actually finish.
Still, there is something magical about playing them on pc but it's hard to get hooked without enormous breaks between games for me.
>>115565823
I tried that one. I'll need to look into this a bit more, could be a platform specific issue. Anyone watching torrents successfully on the Asus Memo HD 7 series?
What VNs can you play on it? How's the space?
>>115565743
>Get some VNs for my Kindle
How? Google told me they don't work on it.
>>115565335

>>115566029
It's exactly as running any other Android app.
Use ES File Manager.
>>115566067
$800 ultraportable PC vs $150 oversized phone without ability to make calls.
Hmm which should I get?
I was one of the dumb anons who jumped onto the original ipad when it first came out for work.
Is there an ios equivalent?
>>115566201
Well damn. Looks like I've got some VNs to play once I finish the anime I downloaded.
>>115566223
Depend of what you want to use it for, nah?
I have KS on mine
Splashtop to play VN - terrible idea?
>>115566300
Google "Visual Novels on Tablet" and follow the FuwaNovel link. I used that and it works perfectly.
It might not install the sounds, though (voices, BGM), so you might have to do that manually.
>>115565128
This is why you should have gotten a windows tablet. I never understood the appeal of wanting mobile OS's on a tablet. I want a smaller computer, not a bigger phone.

You can only play nscripter games and they have no effects and sometimes the sounds don't work right and other bugs.

>>115567230
The real question is why would you want to? I can sort of understand things like >>115566003 said about lying in bed, but I have a really nice monitor and almost never leave the house. Why would I play video/VNs on an inferior system? I always find it weird when I see people on the bus watching videos on their tiny little phone screens.
>>115567430
>>115567705
The issue is i've never played a visual novel before (besides the Phoenix Wright games and 999). I actually don't want to watch anime on a device but wouldn't a visual novel be nicer on a tablet?
If I wanted to play Fate/Zero, Ever 17, or Saya No Uta would it be as easy as downloading these apps, downloading the visual novels, and drag and drop?
>>115567705
>watching videos on their tiny phone screens
The average person/normie has basically no standards for media quality.
This is why things like hulu and iphone "photographers" exist.
As long as the video us playing, their somehow satisfied.

It's not like you need a NASA computer to run a freaking VN.

>Fate/ZeroIt's Fate/Stay Night
Anyway, I feel like playing VNs is annoying on a tablet, it's too big to lay down in bed like you would with a phone, and you get tired of holding the tablet to play the VN. In my opinion, laptops are better for VNs.
>>115567705
Some of those phones have 1080p screens, and the people on the bus don't have the option to take your 24" monitor around
>>115568098
Wait, they finished translating Yandere?
>>115565128
Were you that fat smelly fuck in the trench coat playing eroge at the bus stop today? If so, I saw you.

>>115568449
What do you do about Windows 8 though? I heard it doesn't support a lot of old vns, did you use machine or something?
>>115568449
most windows x86 tablets are pretty fucking good, just don't get anything with older atom CPUs and you are golden
I got an LG11t540, shit is pretty good and the slide out keyboard is great for when I have to do some work, it also has 2 normal sized USB ports, shut is great for a portable Vidya machine
>>115565703
Use MX player and fiddle around in the settings, I don't remember what I did but I know I got them to work on my tablet
>>115569188
update it to 8.1, it usually solves most incompatibility problems, if its still not working just get a virtual machine installed

stop looking for iCore machines with i3s and i5s
look for atom based ones, the dell 8 pro is cheaper than a brand new nexus 7
>>115569563
Ahhh too bad. So I still need a laptop with a touch screen.
I just want to use hand writing recognition in OneNote so the notes I take can be searchable. The ipad works well for a hand writing note taking tool but it is not searchable.
>>115569480
I certainly will. I've been working my way through the classics for sometime now. Hopefully this will make it easier to finish them up.
>>115565335
After using nexus 7 for sometime i wholeheartedly agree with you.
>>115568132
It has been translated more than a year ago
>>115569613
But is it fast enough to run basic programs that eats up memories like crazy, i.e., acrobat reader or OneNote?
>>115569649

>>115569700
i can run eclipse and VS2012 just fine.
>>115569563
no, rt devices are all shit
x86 tablets are great provided you don't buy one with a horrible CPU
>>115569649
don't listen to him, get a dell venue 8 pro and the pen (its sold separately) or get the ThinkPad windows tablet if you want something with a digitizer pen
w8 tablets are much better than iOS or android tables, and you can even emulate android apps if you really need it
Windows tablets are expensive because they're 86x arch and not arm. But that means you can run any desktop programme.
I don't have a tablet but I have a Nexus 5. I've considered setting up rdp to play vn. Is that feasible?
>>115569734

he is talking about the Lenovo thinkpad windows tablet 2
although I wouldn't recommend it since it has the Z2760 CPU and its outdated and not as good as the new Z3740 the Dell 8pro has
Can I play Muv Luv on it?
I got mine back in 2012.
>>115570435
Easy. It only requires google and a brain functional enough to follow instructions.
>>115570179
check the CPU on your tablet, its an ARM one? give up
its an Intel one, maybe, google it around, you might need to do some tweaking and buying some third party cables and keyboard to be able to install windows on it
>>115570342
no, 3G for tablets is kinda useless
and if you get a W8 tablet just hook up one of those cheap USB 3G modens you can buy at any carrier store
>>115570774
Ahhh thanks anon!
>>115570483
gonna be honest, the keyboard on the 540 is not the best, and some you will have to learn to really hit HARD on its keys to be able to write without having to go back and fix misspellings because one key didn't register
however you don't really get better physical keyboards on anything up to 12in in size both in tablets and laptops, 15 and up is when the keyboards start to get good again, and by that size, just get a ultrabook instead
So does anyone use Splashtop? I was thinking of downloading it, but there's a paid one and a free one.
Is it good for VNs?
>>115570585
If it's Windows 8 you're going to play it on, you might have some problems.
Are you able to play any VN on iOS/Android or only certain ones with compatible engines?
Also, is there a database like vndb that shows what engine each VN uses?
I would love to start reading VNs in bed since i don't have the attention span to do it on a my desktop. Thanks/a/nons
visuals novels are not anime or manga
get out to >>>/jp/
>>115566410
I've done it before, it's pretty good. Only thing is with some games clicks don't register. Also splashtop doesn't have a 1:1 pixel option which really annoyed me. I've been wanting to try other remote desktop shit like RDP or VNC to see if it's better.

you dont replace windows, but you can emulate android
if you replace windows with android why did you pay more for a windows device when there are X86 based android devices? (they are just like normal ARM based android devices though)
Is there any phone/tablet with ARM architecture(including the iPhone/iPad) that can handle MKV 1080p 10bit?
>>115571020
>>115571115
And yes, there is sound, if anybody was wondering. The only thing paid gives you is the added ability to access your computer from an internet connection outside your house.
>>115571269
I'm pretty sure many of the newer ones can.
Windows tablets are terrible because they either are part of a race to the bottom to create the cheapest devices possible or ludicrously expensive. The cheap ones all come with shitty screens, crappy build quality, and underpowered processors that can barely run Windows smoothly. Not to mention that the experience of using Windows on a tablet is even more excruciating than the experience of using Windows in general. The thought of being able to run "full Windows programs" on your tablet might seem appealing at first, but then the combination of the terribly small screens and the lack of a physical keyboard end up making the endeavor pointless. Most Windows programs aren't designed with touch input in mind, and even the most basic tasks become a huge chore to do with your fingers, especially on small 8 and 10 inch screens.
On the other end we have the expensive options that also have a myriad of other issues. Lack of expandability and repairability. Constant overheating or thermal throttling. Simply being too bulky and heavy to be able to be used as a tablet comfortably. And the price in general. You're looking at over $1000 for most devices in this category. The Surface Pro 3 starts at $799, and is a pretty decent device, but you also need to spend $129 on a keyboard cover if you want to use it for something other than content consumption. Everything other option is way worse. They simply aren't at a competitive price point compared to other options.
>>115571115
>doesn't have a 1:1 pixel option
Which version are you using? Because there's an "HD" version that's like $9. That one might have the option.
>>115571269
not that I know, I do know that anything stronger than an S3 can do 720p 10bit though
maybe the S5 can, or the Z3
>>115571269
Mine can but I only get like 7 hours of battery life playing it compared to 11 hours with Horriblesubs shit.

It works, but the quality could be better. Also, I'm getting some problems with the touchscreen, but I might have fucked up somewhere when messing with the config.
>>115571320
get up with times grandpa
weak CPUs are not a problem ever since Atom Z3740, there are people running Dark Souls 2 on these CPUs on low settings with stable framerates
there are several models with physical keyboards
10inch is not small, is around the same size most netbooks, and if you REALLY need huge screens, the Yoga exist for that, though enjoy carrying around a 16 inch tablet, or even worse those sony 20inch tablets
for programs that are not touch friendly like old Windows 2k software and stuff is better mouse driven there are mouse emulators that make an area of the screen behave like a laptop touchpad, driving a cursor
over heating is not a problem anymore either
neither is weight
Dell 8pro is cheaper than a Nexus 7, and its not even the cheapest of its configuration if you don't mind getting no name brands, shit can get as cheap as 100 bucks if you go Chinese
Surface pro 3 is a good machine, but if you want something with a physical keyboard on the same specs, there are models like the sony VAIO SVD13223CXB that have keyboards

Turns out, the image freezes if I cloce my laptop (no PC), even if I change my energy settings.
That sucks.
>>115571900
Why not something that can be a tablet when you want to just consume media and a laptop when you want to do work, and its more portable and lighter than a normal laptop?
>>115571982
try connecting your laptop via HDMI to a TV and then turn off the TV
the laptop screen should go on and off again, while keeping the rest active
>>115571988
Because laptops are already portable enough. If you're going to be carrying a laptop around, you're going to have a backpack. A 8 or 10 inch tablet + a retarded keyboard case or something will not be any portable than a laptop in that situation.
I read Fate for the first time on my Nexus 7, I don't know if VNDS fix it already, but the Realta Nua patch didn't work before. I didn't even realize about that until last year and I had to read the three routes again in my desktop to be able to watch the new shit. Also, effects and zoom don't work in Android.
>>115572100
Asus A100, LG 11t540
both with built in keyboards and more portable than a laptop
anon, I have a laptop that I carried around all the time, ever since getting this, I haven't touched it in months, the only trade out I have up was the HDD space and the raw hardware power, as an atom CPU is much weaker than an i5, but the most I play on this is old games and some emulators, so its not that bad of a trade
>>115572063
Hey, it's working. Good thing I tend to hpok my laptop to my TV all the time. Thanks.

>>115572228
You must have had some shitty xbox hueg /v/ tier Alienware gaymen laptop or something then. Most modern laptops are perfectly portable. The extra inch or two and or extra lb won't make a noticeable difference in a backpack compared to a tablet.
>>115571755
If I want something to multitasks with and use more programs that are less power consuming, do I need a ThinkPad 8 tier one or is a Venue Pro 8/ASUS one good enough?
>>115572471
>multitasking on a 8 inch screen
>>115572326
16in, which is pretty much the standard size for a normal laptop and around 3 to 4lbs in weight, with an amazing battery life of 3 to 4h at most and if I only do text edition
now compare that with a 10in, 10h battery life that weights 1lb and its thinner than just the monitor part of my laptop
which do you think is the most portable one?
You could also just use something that streams your PC to your tablet and play literally any VN that way.
>>115572563
It's not my fault you decided to buy some /v/ tier gaymen behemoth.
>>115572471
if you really want to do multi tasking I suggest something bigger than 8in
10 inch is the minimum to do multi tasking and Im talking about 2 windows, maybe 3 at most in the screen
I would not recommend the 8pro if you want to multi task, maybe the Asus t100 if you don't mind the plug in keyboard (it does have an extra battery and HDD inside though)
>>115572714
The Asus t100 does not have an extra battery within the keyboard. In fact it actually has worse battery life with the keyboard plugged in since it has to power both the keyboard and the hard drive now.

its not a gaymen laptop, it was actually more marketed as a media consumption laptop when it was for sale, it can barely run modern games on low settings
its not a behemoth, most basic 16in laptops are around the same specs, dimensions and weight as it
the only interesting part of it is that it came with a BD burner for some odd reason, also a SuiCa card reader

That's not multitasking. That's just switching programs.

My bad. What I meant by multitasking is switching in between programs when they are maximized in a way that does not take a minute to reload everything.
>All these faggots who would rather use that buggy piece of shit called VNDS than the glory Splashtop 2 where you can just start the game on the pc without any compatibily issues, high FPS and adjustable resolution

oh, then the 8 pro should be ok

My bad. I am looking for a tablet that can open a pdf without too long of a loading time, while running OneNote in the back ground, and the ability to switch easily between them.
is the Dell Pro 8 or ASUS Vivotab tier of tablets enough for that or should I aim for the ThinkPad tier?
Use Freedom apk if you're rooted to get Steins;Gate for free on Android.

Did you know what Splashtop did to us?
The original Splashtop 1 cost money to buy. So the original customers bought it. Then lol and behold, the company switched to Splashtop 2, made it free, and made the original buyers pay extra just to access the same function they paid for.
