The Nintendo DS hardware is fixed. It isn't getting new security protocols or changing its architecture. DraStic achieved "completion" years ago. There are no bugs left that affect mainstream games, and the compatibility list is sitting at roughly 99%.
Chrono Trigger, GTA: Chinatown Wars, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, The World Ends with You.
10/10 (Even in "abandonware" status) Have you tried DraStic? What is the first game you are loading up? Let me know in the comments below.
The app was written with a heavy focus on ARM assembly optimization. On a technical level, that means it can run full-speed, upscaled DS games on hardware that is practically ancient by today's standards. I’ve run DraStic flawlessly on a $50 prepaid Walmart phone and a Raspberry Pi.
