There are other ways for Google Android users to get Nintendo DS BIOS files, but they aren't strictly legal. Now, these files are copyrighted, and the only way to get them legally is off of your own NDS system via some expensive third-party hardware. To set up DraStic, you'll need to get the BIOS files for the Nintendo DS and drop them onto your device's root storage folder, SD card, or Download folder. I tried out DraStic on both the NVIDIA SHIELD and the Nexus 7 2013, and performance was at basically 100%, but devices with limited RAM and single-core processors will probably see noticeable drops. This one is designed from the ground up to run on ARM, and requires at least a Cortex-A8 processor ( with a few exceptions) and 256MB of RAM to run. Most of the existing DS emulators are based on code for Windows programs, making them unbearably slow on Android.
