Once installed, there are a few setting you’ll want to mess with to make sure you have the ideal gameplay experience. While on the Android OS side of your device, select the Google Play Store icon and purchase the DraStic app, which is $5. To install DraStic on your Retroid Pocket 2, you need a WiFi connection and Google account. Luckily, there is a paid app on the Google Play Store that works really well, and that’s what we’ll focus on in this guide. Retroarch is a pre-installed emulation frontend that has several different DS “cores” (emulators), and they all run very poorly on the Retroid Pocket 2. So we’ll need to stay on the Android OS in order to play Nintendo DS games. The RP2 OS has a large variety of games to choose from, but does not have Nintendo DS support.

One of my most pleasant surprises with a new Retroid Pocket 2 is that it can play Nintendo DS games surprisingly well. Last updated 24SEP2020 (see Changelog for details) ![]()
