These notes cover the same system but don't say they used DraStic rev i18n, so results may differ.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom HourglassThe Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass runs at reported full speed with SeedlessDS high-resolution rendering on Lite. The reviewer reports substantial fast-forward headroom early on; not every touch or lid-close puzzle was tried.Pocket Duo and Duo Lite
LEGO Battles: NinjagoIn LEGO Battles: Ninjago, the reviewer reports the SeedlessDS LCD shader appearing on only the top screen of Lite, and later disables it. The build is not shown, so newer versions may differ.Pocket Duo Lite
Mario Kart DSMario Kart DS exposes a hold-button problem in the Lite SeedlessDS test: drifting and holding items behave like repeated presses. A controller test looks normal to the reviewer, and no fix for the emulator or button mapping is found.Pocket Duo Lite
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry SkiesDragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies gets a positive verdict in a short test with SeedlessDS high-resolution rendering on Lite. No frame rate is given and only a short stretch was played.Pocket Duo Lite
Sonic RushIn Sonic Rush on Lite’s GammaOS preview, the reviewer reports smooth motion and closely synchronised screens by eye, with fast-forward headroom.Pocket Duo Lite
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit TracksThe Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks touch controls are described as substantially better than stock on Lite’s GammaOS preview, but the reviewer still notices some delay. They call the short rock-picking and throwing stretch playable.Pocket Duo Lite
Pokémon Black Version 2Pokémon Black Version 2 has a positive boot and title sequence on Lite’s GammaOS preview, including fast-forward headroom. Demanding battles and later areas were not shown.Pocket Duo Lite
