Nintendo DS emulator has been ported to Miyoo Mini by Steward-Fu.

The DS console had 2 screens so R2 key allow you to switch between these 2 screens. It's also possible to display both screens at the same time. Then L2 allows to display the stylus and then DPAD is used to move touch pen and A button acts touch point.

The Drastic (Menu + Select ) menu has been revised and a new custom has been created to offer you more settings (CPU speed, display disposition, ... ).

Drastic is the first standalone emulator (not RetroArch core) which is compatible with Onion game Switcher : you can power-off the device and resume it at boot, you can browse your last played NDS games in the game Switcher.

Drastic is compatible with the Miyoo Mini v4 resolution (752 x 560).

For more details about advanced configuration check the Steward-Fu Drastic Github repository.

Migration from previous Drastic versions

If you have installed Drastic manually with Steward-Fu version before Onion 4.3.0 then your Drastic installation will be migrated during the installation of Onion 4.3.0. All your saves and save states will be automatically moved to Saves/CurrentProfile/states/Drastic, the official Drastic version compatible with Onion will be automatically installed and your old manual Drastic installation will be removed. Your roms will not move.

Note that you'll find a backup of your previous NDS installation in Emu/NDS_old.7z or Emu/drastic_old.7z.
