    The windows emulator is fantastic, the android is not from the same author it's and "unofficial" version from someone else. The android version is currently working as well as DrasticDS and even has more features like real graphics increasing. Maybe a better option at this current stage since, DrasticDS has stopped development, while this port keeps improving
