This was what I used years ago. But the APK is too old now. https://github.com/hansoochan/DSdroid
Havent tried it but Citra is an option.
The only DS emulator really worth using in my opinion is Drastic I tried a few other things like lemuroid and MelonDS before finally paying for Drastic.
Drastic DS Emulator on play store has been the best DS emulator in android for years.
Just make sure to Pirate it, Paid emulator Devs on Android are greedy pieces of shit, many violate GPL Licenses just to make a quick buck, don’t give in, don’t give them money.
In general emulators that aren’t open source are also shady and should be avoided wherever possible because they:
- Can be Malicous
- Might use SDK material (not something we care about but it can be used against them).
- May violate GPL or contain stolen code from others’ work, which is extremely scummy.
If it helps at all, Drastic DS is developed by Exophase, the developer behind the gpSP emulator, which is open source. Drastic is safe, and has for years been the only decent choice for Android as far as performance goes.
That said, from what I’ve just found, they’ve dropped support for Drastic, so pirating it is a good idea regardless.
I usually recommend using open source software but this is c/piracy, so, you can easily find Drastic unlocked on Mobilsm.
There’s a port of melonDS to Android at https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android. Keep in mind you’ll need a CPU capable of running AArch64 instructions and a 64-bit OS if you want dynarec support.
Lemuroid emulates most handhelds, and works pretty well in my experience (S9, to give an idea of performance)
