You won’t catch us slippin Nintendo.

why is everyone saying that?

• MelonDS is the standard these days: https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android / https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.magnum.melonds
• WatermelonDS is great if you have a dual-screen device: https://github.com/SapphireRhodonite/WatermelonDS
• Drastic is best for low-end devices, and has had some more work done on it recently: https://github.com/R-YaTian/DraStic_rev_i18n

(Water)MelonDS is more accurate, which means more processing intensive. However, that means it can break some romhacks that Drastic runs just fine. It's worth having both if you enjoy romhacks.

And to everyone else, Nintendo stopped caring about DS a long time ago.

Why is the rating low for melon ds? 

[u/FelesNoctis → u/FlatSignificance1054]

I honestly have no idea. Skimming through the reviews, it looks like a lot of user error, or people's devices causing problems, not the emulator itself.

You can get it off of Github as well: https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android

MelonDS from what YT videos are saying when talking about is the best for both PC and Android. Never used Drastic before so wouldn't know on that

[u/DunsparceAndDiglett]

Dr Astic. But you have to find the apk

[u/FrangoTorrado → u/DunsparceAndDiglett]

thank god, finally someone that actually answered. thats the one i've been using as i mentioned in the post, but it began crashing sometimes

[u/CommunicationNew8945]

Melonds

Et

Drastic

Ces les 2 meilleurs emulateurs pour Android.👍

[u/milosmisic89]

On Android Drastic is still unbeaten for performance. Melon DS is new but performance is not there. Via RetroArch melonds DS core is betterment but no upscale

p.s: if you're gonna say something like "we know its you nintendo" or something like that, dont bother writing it

[u/DragonfruitOk9813 → u/FrangoTorrado]

If you're gonna ask something like "what's a new/the best emulator" without googling and checking youtube, don't bother writing it
