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!

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.

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

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
