I have a Hisense U970 with the following specs running Android 4.2.1 1.2GHz Quad Core processor 1GB RAM Can I run DS games? What emulator to use?
Yes you can, but with that spec I somehow suspect you'll have to expect it to lag badly, and heat will build up during play. Best is Drastic, but you'll need to buy the apk from Google Play Store. The emulator requires you to run it online for license check probably against your registered phone number used in your Google account. If it doesn't match, the emulator won't run. So far, I couldn't find any working Drastic apk shared on the net that bypass the license check. There are other emulators too, some are free, but they have been reported to lag terribly or only play very limited rom selection.
My Galaxy S3 has 1.4Ghz quad and 1GB Ram and it plays DS games perfectly. Try DraStic, I've had no problems with it at all.
Re: Can I play DS games on a smartphone? My Smartphone specs is 1Ghz processor with 625mb ram and i could play a lot of nds games on it using Drastic. I didnt buy the emulator, but found an apk and cache folder on the internet. It worked for me. But i wont be giving any links here, so you have to google it for more info.
Okay your device looks to be a rather low level device for a quad core device. Here are the specs of your device. Platform MT6589M A7 1.2GHz×4 Band Dual card dual standby（WCDMA+GSM） WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA 900/2100MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900MHz Memory 4GB（EMMC）+1GB（DDR2） Tcard Micro SD, upto32GB Display Type: Type：IPS TFT Display Size: 5 inch Display Resolution: QHD Display Color: 16.7 million color Display touch Pannel: multi-touch Main Camera 8.0M CMOS AF Flash Front Camera 0.3M BT Support，BT3.0 GPS Support WIFI Support 802.11b/g/n FM Support Sensor Proximity sensor G-sensor Ambient light sensor Interface dual sim card slots (WCDMA+GSM) Micro SD slot MicroUSB，(USB2.0) Support charging and data transfer 3.5mm earphone Side Key 3(up and down,power key) Touch Key 3（side： up and down,power key) Speaker Support Mic Support 2 Vibration Support Attenna WCDMA+GSM,GPS,BT+WIFI Battery 2000mAh Charge time less than 4 hours Standby time WCDMA mode >220hours GSM Mode >110 hours Talking time WCDMA mode > 330 mins GSM mode > 430 mins The important specs being near the top. in theory you should be able to run it, but possibly a little slow. But you are going to find that with a 4 gb rom you are out of luck with running much on that phone. You would be lucky to get much of anything app wise on that device with most of it being used by the system. Though by all means give it a try. but I would recommend something stronger... and not a samsung or an HTC as those are both bloated. If you want a nice phone spec wise for not a lot of scratch look for a one + one. May be an enthusiast phone but it's an amazing piece of hardware with little to no bloat at a low cost. Though my Asus tf300t runs DraStic as full speed and no frame skipping and that's a tegra 3 at 1.2 ghz. but those quad cores are cortex A9's... more cores doesn't mean faster. it's the type of core that matters here.
Read that spec again. It's 4GB EMMC card PLUS 1GB DDR RAM. the 4GB is irrelevant for running anything, it's storage. It's the 1GB ram that matters. I see no indication that the phone has a gpu in it, and the cpu clock is slow.
