Review DraStic - DS Emulator for Android Devices Review

[Jayro]

I run this on my Galaxy SIII, SIV, and Shield Portable, and they all run games full speed. I just find it difficult on the shield because it sucks running anything vertically, but hey - ACTUAL BUTTONS!

Drastic Emulator for Android is the best android ds emulator hands down.

haven't tried it in quite a while, but i wonder if there are any other ones that run as good now cause back then drasitc was the only one

I doubt it, DraStic was a "from scratch" emulator fully optimized for ARM processors, instead of an open-source port of a PC-made emulator.

So far for Android, Drastic IS the best DS emulator. In my Xiaomi mi6 all the games i want at full speed even looking better than they used to.

I am pretty sure this is common knowledge now.

Well how come it runs like crap on the Switch. When the Switch is the same thing as Nvidia Shield.

DraStic is not available on the switch. All DS emulation you've seen on the switch is either some melonDS or desmume fork.

all I know is I have had it on my galaxy s9 + since the day I bought the phone and it is by far the best ds emulator for android runs full speed.

Definitely going to have to try this on the Shield TV. Full screen Pokemon Platinum will be awesome

 

[brapfarmer]

It'd been years since I last used Drastic. I remember playing BW on it and losing my save lmao

 

[DrPerkeleeee]

I tried the demo version a few years ago on my back then Samsung Galaxy A3 phone. The speed was good. I think with phones nowadays the fps should be fast. Recommend that emu

 

[buffdave2323]

does anybody know what external display option is for or rather how to use it

 

[DJPlace]

i wish this would work with Retro Achivments and Retro Arch.

 

[PawsofHorror]

If only this had multiplayer, DSi and firmware loading to see the glorious ds boot screen.

Everything else is perfect, the emulator works fast even with high resolution enabled on my mid-range phone, I would like for even higher resolution options like in the desmume core for retroarch on Android

Why is this gaining traction all of a sudden?
