'''[http://www.sendspace.com/file/8llqqj APK r2.1.6.2a ] Cracked.'''
*'''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 full speed 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 Contrary to what some may assume, the DS and all current processors' similarity to ARM cores used on most Android phones use the same processor type (ARM)devices are actually of little benefit. According to Exophase, allowing running DS code straight on Android would lead to be converted very quicklynumerous issues. He also noted that the approach used in DraStic isn't any much different to other emulators, apart from implementing and optimising 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$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.
*Various pokémon games' 3D may have black holes. And the games themselves may crash at various points.
**Supposedly improved in 2.1.
*Some games, namely Holly Hobbie and American Girl titles, run with rendering issues like geometry or sprite corruption, although this will be fixed in a future update.
