Android Full Speed NDS Emulator Coming to Android!!!

[VashTS]

i just found this emulator yesterday and holy crap is it awesome! works full speed (sometimes more) on my galaxy s3. DraStic is the best!

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of owning a handheld, portable console?

I don't think so... Some people enjoy the games that come out on the system, not only because it can be taken with you...

The only problem I've seen is that Namco Museum plays too fast.

A nice feature would be to allow for shaders to simulate the LCD persistency. Games like Konami Classics Series look a bit odd as you can clearly see the odd and even frames.

There is a toggle for the stylus. You can turn it off/on or remove the button layout and leave only the stylus.

I know that there is a toggle for the stylus but there is no button to link the L button with the touch screen to have a "mobile style" FPS control for games that need it.

So why own a DS if you're going to use an Android device instead?

I am currently using this on my Galaxy S3 and as you said it runs most games if not all of them at near perfect speeds and compatibility is very high! I am very surprised! Though there is room for speed enhancements and tune ups, I'd expect nothing but the best from Exnophase, I have used his stuff for a long time now, but this did take me by surprise the other night lol

I dunno. I'd think just because it's neat. And besides, if you're going to be carrying around a phone anyway, it's nice to have it there without needing two devices.
I'm just saying, the emulator is a nice thing to have in existence. It's not pointless.

Oh I agree with you, emulators are awesome. I simply don't see a point in owning a DS (made to play DS games) when you'll just play them on an android phone, which isn't optimized nearly as well. Especially when you're on the go, which is the whole point of portable game consoles.

I recommend everyone to try DraStic it's the best DS emulator I've ever tried. All the games I ran so far work perfectly no slowness whatsoever. I think it's a great idea for the Android to have a DS emulator because of the amount of DS games that solely use the touch screen like Kirby Mass Attack for example.

What are some other games that rely solely on the touch screen? I think Kirby Canvas Curse is one of them. That would be great with a stylus

This is running 100% full speed with zero frameskip on my nvidia shield.
By the way, which filter is better, linear or scale2x?

So far, the good ones I tried are:

Elite Beat Agents
Planet Puzzle League
ALL the Professor Layton games
Phoenix Wright
Not sure if Warioware Touched works because if I remember, it has some games that needs a microphone but I'll give it a try one day.

Not to mention Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks

I can confirm that the EUROPESE ROM of Castlevania portrait of ruin works (very well) (without freezes!!!!)

This game is a pain to run without freezes on a flashcard and now you can play it so smoothly on an Android device

Scale2x

Is the Tegra 2 supported yet? If not, will it ever be supported? I'm dying to try this out on my LG O2x.

Depending on the game the filters make it look blurred, or watercolor-style. None leaves it pixelated. It's all preference!

It does emulate the microphone (assuming your device has one). Also, for Phantom Hourglass, theres a button for when you need to close the lid of the game.

Yeah I noticed. The biggest thing I noticed was that this emulator can actually use Turbo mode. Like Turbo NDS on an Android phone? Is that even possible? And then it actually worked..

Can I play Online with this Emulator?
