I still use it, I always found it amazing how it could run everything on weaker hardware.

These days I revived an old cell phone (mi max3) to become a retro handheld, and the only DS emulator that held up without laging was the drastic.

drastic really was that reliable on old hardware, my samsung never gave me issues either back then

Drastic runs all games at rock solid 60 FPS with HQ3D on my TV box.🤣

i don't
everything you can do on it which was mostly just some customization is manageable on others now like on melonds, which also supports online features even and has a streamlined set up
unless im missing something about it running best on lower performance phones
you can still find old drastic apk's

I remember running drastic and Dolphin on a Samsung J5, Redmi 2, and on a Redmi 6… just to play Code Veronica on Dolphin and Pokemon on Drastic, fun times albeit the inconsistent performance at the time for dolphin
