Yes, it's me, again - I'm such a pain in the ass sometimes but I know too well honestly speaking! However, bear with me for a second here :FeelsBadMan:

Like the title says, I was wondering something about this site and in particular, the movies that you can buy only for smartphone. For example my brain for a moment, conceived the idea of buying something from Umemaro 3D and 'till here nothing strange. However, since the application is mostly an hentai that you can watch only on pc and as far as I know doesn't have any .mp4/.mkv etc.. at all inside, I shifted my attention toward these "shores", since the price for those are farly low - for now, at least. 'Till 15th of February most of his works are discounted so really cheap (3$ at the most) - and I was wondering: what.. format (if it's the right word) they're? Because on the site there's a tag "APK", but it's not actually an application, right? Or even this one it's an application that can only be installed on Android? (I've iOS, so...)

Thank you for your patience and replies!

You can find software that will reformat just about any file extension into the file extension you need. APK is the Android file extension. You can either download an Android emulator for PC that will make it work just fine, or try for reformatting. I'd suggest the emulator if you're going to use it for PC. It's quick and painless, easy to set up, and less time consuming. Here's a link for Blue Stacks which seems to have the best Android emulator around at this time. I hope this helps you.

Thank you for your reply and for the program (that I already knew by the way), but what I wanted to know is, for someone that maybe already bought some movies for android from DLSite, what's inside? I mean is an .apk file? Something that you can only install on Android? Or it's a movie format that can be used with every other phone? Like Iphone and such?

And for the thing about reformatting the file... will it work with any video format? Because for example, the video that you find on Pornhub and such, those are probably made with some program (after cutting and editing and then putting all together in one place so that can be seen like a movie), but I need the .mp4 file, or .mkv file, something like that! Not an .apk file for Android that only Android users can use. Otherwise I might as well not buying anything and just watch the jap version on Pornhub.

No, as long as you run it through an emulator, you'll be fine with running it on a PC. I have a few Android programs, and they work just fine for me through the emulator. You should have no problems. You can also download codecs for Windows Media Player that will enable you to play any video or audio format through WMP. I use this bundle of codecs:



This is the most reliable codec bundle I've found.

Again, you missed the point here. Maybe I'm bad at explaining myself - and it's possibile eh, since sometimes happens.
I'm not searching for an emulator. I'm not searching for a program that emulates (?) the .apk files. I'm asking, since the original are .exe and are hentai that you can only watch on pc without any luck of doing the same on the phone, if buying the "Android" version of the same, inside there is an .apk file or an .mp4/.mkv file. All I want to do is to reproduce the hentai on the phone, not opening them with the program - if inside there is an .apk file.

Did I make myself clear this time around? :FeelsBadMan:


EDIT: Everything done. I already understood everything. Since I'm a dumb person - a great dumb person - I didn't noticed the fact that I could've easily "Tried the free Demo" of the product. In the end was like I expected, inside the archive there's an .apk file and no trace whatsoever of a .mp4/.mkv file or movie related. Thanks anyway for the help!

That's OK it was probably my fault, not yours. I would assume if it says it's available in APK only, that means it's only available for Android. The .exe just opens the file for installation to wherever you direct it. But, you know, the emulator bit, etc... Any way, usually DList will tell you if there are different versions and formats available. They're pretty good about that.
