I have a console application that I would like to port to Windows Phone 8. Is it possible to run a console mode on WP8 ?
I saw the MS-DOS mobile app but I wonder if it is just a simulated console mode.
I also saw this question but it doesn't answer my question.
There is nothing like a text mode for Windows Phone. You have to simulate it yourself.

I'm developing on Windows Runtime and Universal App (8.1) but I don't have any experience about this topic.
Is it possible to make a vocal command to perform the same action that now I do with a button?
For example the user could click the button "start" or say the voice command "start". How should I do?
This might help you. This Link is on a similar note. Most of the windows 10 API for speech are similar to those for the windows 8.1 Universal.
Starting an app this way isn't possible with Windows Phone 8.1 Run Time. It is with Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight, and Windows Phone 10 universal apps. Similar question asked here
How do you copy/paste text from the Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator to your development PC (desktop)?
I saw that this is possible (although elaborate) on the Android Emulator.
I would assume there should be a way to access the emulator's clipboard through VS.
Did you try starting the Emulator without Debugging?

i have a windows 8.1 universal application.
Now i want to debug the Windows application in my simulator.
Whenever i debug the windows application in my simulator, it also opens the phone emulator. Emulator deployment fails but simulator works fine.
Is it a correct behaviour ?
cheers,

Is there any way to do this by running a WP8 emulator in a virtual machine? I would really like to publish WP8 apps but I need to do some testing and don't want to pay to upgrade to the pro version of windows. Thanks for any help you can give.
Currently there is no solution for this. You have to have a emulator or a device to test the app and testing on a device is mandatory now. There used to be Nokia Remote Device Access but it is deprecated now. http://developer.nokia.com/resources/remote-device-access
Short answer is no.
Windows Phone emulator needs hardware virtualization features (enabled in BIOS) and only the pro version is capable of using them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions search for hyper-v).

I'm using Browsershots, BrowserStack and Sauce Labs to test websites in different browsers. But none of these provides Windows Phone emulator. Is there any online (both free or paid) website, which provides the Windows Phone emulator for testing websites?
And if not: is there any other Windows Phone emulator for Windows than the Visual Studio native emulator?
I googled a lot, but there was nothing. Totally nothing, just only the Microsoft's Windows Phone SDK for Visual Studio, which includes the emulator. But it works only for Windows 8 and I have WIndows 7 on my PC.
If you want to use just the browser, you can use the latest IE, open it up and press F12,
then click on the bottom icon and you will see a screen like this one :
That's pretty much the only other way to emulate WP 8 IE.
