==Overview==
DraStic is currently the first and only full-speed DS emulator available for Android, Linux (on Raspberry Pi) and Pandora. Some may find the asking price too high to be worth it and while emugen does provide an older cracked version above, buying the full version on Google Play yields more benefits, such as being able to sign up for the beta program where new features are being tested. The older release also does not include high-resolution rendering and custom shaders because it was not implemented at the time.
Contrary to what some may assume, the ARM instruction set of the DS processors are of little benefit to the ones used by most Android devices. According to Exophase, running DS code straight on Android would lead to numerous issues. He also noted that the approach used in DraStic isn't any much different to other emulators, apart from implementing and optimizing it with speed and low-end devices in mind.<ref>[http://drastic-ds.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1939 DraStic • View topic - Just a question...]</ref>
Just like with [[No$|No$GBA]], there are likely to be bugs to come with the speed. Please expand if you see anything broken. Posting bug reports to the author could also help later on.
*If both screens are used in sync, like with Hotel Dusks's scenes, Strawberry Shortcake: The Four Seasons Cake 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.
