DraStic DS Emulator is a powerful emulator for Android operating systems, which allows you to emulate one of the most popular handheld consoles of all time— the Nintendo DS. Best of all, it gives you the chance to play the entire catalog of this legendary portable console and allows you to do so with tons of improvements and additional features.

Easy to set up and easy to use

Unlike other emulators, in order to use DraStic DS Emulator, you don't need BIOS or anything similar. Simply select the folder where you've saved the ROM you want to load, and the game will start after a few seconds. You don't even have to take a look at the app's configuration options, as everything is already set up to optimize the performance of each game. Your only concern will be finding the time to play all the ROMs available for this console.

Lots of options for advanced users

If you want to start playing as soon as possible, you can do so without delay. On the other hand, if you want to take full advantage of DraStic DS Emulator, just go to the configuration options. Here, you'll find dozens of different settings, from choosing the type of rendering you want for 3D games to adding special image filters or setting sound defaults. You can even enable special cheats for each video game. In short, you'll be able to customize your experience however you want and enjoy your favorite video games like never before.

Convenient and customizable controls

The default controls are very simple: use the virtual D-pad on the left side of the screen to move and the four buttons on the right side to perform different actions. The triggers and the Start and Select buttons are located slightly above that, just below the game's image. In any case, this is just the default layout. From the options menu, you can customize the controls, or, if you prefer, you can even connect a controller via Bluetooth to play more comfortably. This app is compatible with all kinds of gamepads.

Save the game at any time and other advantages

One of the great advantages of playing games with emulators is that you can usually save the game at any time using a save state. In that regard, DraStic DS Emulator is no exception. This emulator allows you to save your game at any time. By tapping on the three dots at the bottom of the screen, you can access the in-game menu and save your game from there. Other options in this menu include activating the stylus mode, emulating closing and opening the screen, or changing the image's position, among other things.

An outstanding emulator

Download DraStic DS Emulator's APK to play every game in the Nintendo DS catalog on your Android device. This emulator is perfectly optimized, so you can play virtually any of its video games on mid-range and low-end Android devices. It's a powerful, fast, highly compatible, totally free emulator.

Thank you for letting me play Nintendo's old games! However, the set high-speed gameplay is a distraction when playing rhythm games. It's out of sync.
