DrasticDS - Nintendo Switch port

This is a wrapper/port of the Android version of DrasticDS.
It loads the original Android emulator core, patches it and runs it.
It's basically as if we emulate a minimalist Android environment in which we natively run the original Android binary as is.

Features​

  • Cover art— auto-download from SteamGridDB
  • Region flags (US / EU / JP) and a sortable library
  • Per-game settings — override options per title; rename and delete games
  • Full controller remapping, stick config, deadzone, touchscreen, analog stylus, and gyro support
  • In-game overlay — save states, per-title Action Replay cheats, screen layouts, filters, fast-forward, and runtime settings
  • Custom screen layouts — horizontal, vertical, single-screen, hybrid, integer scaling, and a complete layout editor
  • Drastic filter chain — Nearest, Linear, Quilez, Scanlines, Scale2x, HQ2x, FXAA, FXAA HQ, and SMAA
  • Multiple storage sources — load games from SD, USB mass storage, or SMB shares
  • LSFG 2× Frame Generation with the Vulkan renderer

Renderers​

Choose in Settings → Graphics → Renderer:
  • Vulkan (NVK)— recommended; best performance and required for LSFG Frame Generation
  • OpenGL — alternative if a game or filter misbehaves under Vulkan
Credits :
  • Drastic developers for the emulator.
  • fgsfds for the Switch so-loader groundwork reused here.
  • TheOfficialFloW for the original Android so-loader lineage.
  • Dantiicu - Switch Vulkan driver.
  • PancakeTAS - LSFG-VK.
  • Slluxx - IconGrabber.

Thank you a lot for that wonderful emulator!.. :wub:

Btw I noticed a some kind of noticeable nasty input lag, maybe like 180-200 ms. Is there any technique or setting to minimize it more, like 20-50 milliseconds or something?.. :)
One can test it in 'New Super Mario Bros', for example.
