Multi-display DraStic is great for portable DS emulation

Exporting to an external display in DraStic has been possible for quite some time but rarely mentioned. This short shows how to get started with it.
Extra notes:
- A downside to a handheld setup as shown in the video is the need to access the USB-C port. This will likely block any clip on controllers, unless yours manages to allow for USB-C passthrough.
- Unrelated to emulation, this same method could be used to create a hyper portable Dex or Screen+ setup with the right peripherals.
Disclaimer:
We use a review sample of Mechanism's phone mount for this video that Mechanism sent us for free. Though, we never consulted them about DS emulation before making this video.

is this also amazing. Love your channel.

Why not use the LG Wing's 2 displays?

[@GameXData]

DraStic doesn't work across the Wing's displays

[@hc9kt367]

Hmmm interesting for using with a steam deck/rog ally

[@hc9kt367]

Do you have links on amazon for the phone mount and universal grip?

[@GameXData]

For sure. If you're interested, you can check out the description on my full review of the mount. Link: ua-cam.com/video/1vuGx9tAAYk/v-deo.html

When I do this with the Odin 2 the monitor screen is rotated. Do you know how to fix it ?

[@GameXData]

Oh, interesting. I don't know of any settings in the app to specifically rotate the external screen. Here are some options to consider for your second screen though:
If you're using a phone, I might recommend verifying that auto rotate is turned on and actually rotating the screen. UVC apps (like USB Camera Pro) should also have settings to rotate input video manually if needed.
On a more standard monitor, the easiest method might be to go into your monitor's device settings and rotate the view 90 degrees to compensate (landscape to portrait). It's not ideal but should force the video feed into the right orientation.

[@hero3250]

Yeah but you still have to use touch screen controls. Gross

or just… get a ds lite and ace3ds for prolly less than the price all this costs

[@GameXData]

How would buying something new be less than the cost of devices I already own?

[@Evie]

@@GameXData i meant for people who dont own those very specific items

[@GameXData]

I mean, this video just demonstrates using video out with DraStic. If they aren't already using a phone to emulate DS games, why would this video even apply to them?

[@ERRENTPRIM]

@@GameXData TRUE! SLAY KING

[@twl_irdo_usa]

drastic isn't the best ds emulator for android that's the melonds port for android

[@ricardobriceno5614]

nope

[@twl_irdo_usa]

@@ricardobriceno5614 melonds on Android is a lot better dsi emulation,online multiplayer,actually works with non English ones and easier access to save files more customizable

[@twl_irdo_usa]

@@ricardobriceno5614 better dsi emulation online multiplayer more accurate and doesn't break when playing other language
