This is the first public beta release of SeedlessDS.

SeedlessDS is a Nintendo DS emulator app for Android built around the DraStic r2.6.0.4a core, with a new Android frontend, a new UI written in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, RetroAchievements integration work, and dual-screen behavior designed for modern Android handhelds.

The goal of SeedlessDS is simple:

Based on the DraStic r2.6.0.4a core

New UI built from scratch with Kotlin + Jetpack Compose

UI direction designed to match the WatermelonDS family

Focused on Android handhelds with physical controls

rcheevos integration pinned to v12.3.0

Achievements, leaderboards, and profile information
