Currently the only full-speed DS emulator available for Android, but you may find the asking price too high to be worth it; there's a cracked previous version above. Its speed comes from the fact that the DS and all current Android phones use the same processor type (ARM), allowing code to be converted very quickly. | Currently the only full-speed DS emulator available for Android, but you may find the asking price too high to be worth it; there's a cracked previous version above.

DraStic is a payware closed-source NDS emulator for Android.
Contents
Downloads
NDS BIOS (Extract and place all three files in the top folder of your device, beside the various Music and Movies folders) (latest version does not require this anymore except for encrypted dumps, but it will still be used if you have it and it won't hurt)
Devices
Nvidia TEGRA 2-based devices (including the Xoom and some versions of the Galaxy S2) will not work with this emulator. Do not try; most are blacklisted, but some might not be. You will need a reasonably powerful (hopefully multi-core) device for games to work full speed. Tested devices:
- Nexus 4: Full speed in tested games: Mario Kart, Super Scribblenauts, and Advance Wars: Dual Strike. (Scribblenauts is too difficult to play without a gamepad, though)
- HTC Desire: Significant lag in most (all?) games
- Transformer Infinity: Some slowdown in Luigi's mansion level of Mario Kart DS. Generally fullspeed though.
Review
Currently the only full-speed DS emulator available for Android, but you may find the asking price too high to be worth it; there's a cracked previous version above. Its speed comes from the fact that the DS and all current Android phones use the same processor type (ARM), allowing code to be converted very quickly.
Just like with No$GBA, there are likely to be bugs to come with the speed. Please expand if you see anything broken. Posting bug reports to the "jew of an author" could also help later on.
- If both screens are used in sync, like with Hotel Dusks's scenes or Etrian Odyssey's intro, the screens may be flipped and flicker. This does not flip the touch controls though.
- To fix, in most cases at least, disable multithreaded 3D.
- Various pokémon games' 3D may have black holes. And the games themselves may crash at various points.
- Supposedly improved in 2.1.
APK Archive
apkarchive.com is a site that hosts cracked APKs, if the most recent version of DraStic isn't linked in the downloads section, go there. It usually takes a day or two for them get, crack and upload an app/game.
