Legend of Zelda, The – Phantom Hourglass

Does Legend of Zelda, The – Phantom Hourglass run on R36S?

Only partly. Nintendo DS games are rated Limited on the R36S (RK3326): lighter games run, demanding titles may struggle.

Lighter 2D DS games run acceptably through DraStic; demanding 3D titles struggle. This applies to every R36 model, the R36 Max and R36S Ultra included, because they all use the RK3326 chip.

Two screens. DraStic can stack them or put them side by side; the square screen of the R36S Plus, R36 Max and R36S Ultra leaves more room for the stacked layout.

Ratings are estimates for the whole Nintendo DS library on the RK3326 chip, not a test of this one title. Compare R36 models
