How to use Lunar Magic on an Android Tablet?


I've been looking to get into hacking Super Mario World and Super Metroid, but I can't get a PC right now, and the editors don't normally work on a tablet. Is there app that emulates a computer allowing Lunar Magic and Super Metroid Intergrated Level Editor to be used on my tablet? I ask this because I found an app which emulates an old Windows computer, and an app that runs DOS programs. Help would be much appreciated #tb{:)}

Major thanks to Giga and Erik557 for the layout.

Assuming you are talking about Inno Setup Extractor and DOS BOX. Neither one of these will work for what you want it to and at the moment there really isn't anything out there that will be able to help with that....yet.

Who knows, maybe LM 5.0 will have a mobile version one day ;P
Layout by LDA during C3.

Okay, I guess I can't use level editors right yet, but I found a DOS program called Tile Layer, so if I learn how to use DOSBOX, I can use it to edit sprites and such. I can also make ASM patches using a text editor and a .txt file. Thank you for helping #ab{:)}

If LM was possible on an Android tablet, Google wouldn't allow it, the thick pigs they are. :)

Anyways, LM would be a bit annoying on a phone or tablet compared to a PC, but I know you aren't allowed one (which sucks).

Good luck with ASM also.

You can get apps from many places, not just from the Play store, so Google doesn't really matter here. Unlike on iPhones, it's even legal here.
Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!

I mean because I expect that Google will start spying on all your apps some day, and probably delete them, because they are thick.

I knew there's more than the Play Store, though.
That sounds like a terrible business model, why would they do that if their goal is, as with every single company on the planet, to get more and keep their users?
Your layout has been removed.

I agree with the grim reaper. ~Someone I heard one day
Google won't do that... anyways if there was a mobile version of LM, it wouldn't be published in the PS because reasons,
instead the apk could be published anywhere




Well, you need to buy a Windows tablet instead to use Lunar Magic.
If you're on Firefox 70+, and you don't see the blur effect, go to about:config and enable layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled and gfx.webrender.all
For the best aesthetics, use Chrome, or with some settings, Firefox.

Colour scheme based on the awesome ViM theme, Gruvbox.
If anyone would start auto deleting apps it would be Apple, not Google.
I have found a way to run Lunar Magic on (almost) any Android device. I am still working out the bugs, but once I do, I will link a tutorial to this forum, if the Mods allow it...
I actually owns a crappy Windows tablet, which has an Intel Atom Z3735F processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage.

The hardware configurion is actually capable to run Lunar Magic and other SMW Hacking utilitys smoothly. However, It's painful to make a level with it, since Lunar Magic is not really optimized for touch screens. So, I have to add mouse and keyboard, but it's lose the point of why using a tablet instead of a full PC.

Maybe FuSoYa will release some version of Lunar Magic that optimized for touch screen controlling, but for now, I think it's better to create a SMW Hack with keyboard/mouse on a PC or Windows Laptop.
