      For anyone interested in DS emulator development. Exophase, one of the devs of Drastic recently posted a status update of the emulator. Looks like he is planning to go open source starting after the new year sometime. Perhaps this means we might finally be able to get some much needed optimization for the pi.

        There was a minor update released and even fixed an annoying bug, but for whatever reason, it isn't available to download from Retropie even though permission was given.

          @mat that version while much improved, still has some issues. I'm excited to think what QOL improvements and enhancements might come from open sourcing the project. We still have quite a bit of a wait I'm afraid but still nice to know that things will be moving forward on that front.

            @quicksilver Yeah it generally works a lot better and doesn't crash whenever the mic is looked for by the rom though. I'd love to see more screen orientation options, perhaps a book mode as that would make stuff like rhythm paradise and hotel dusk playable. They already load and play now, but having them at a 90 degree angle on your tv isn't much use.
