Minimum Screen Size
Minimum Screen Size
Can anyone tell me the minimum screen size needed to play DraStic comfortably? The original DS had two 3.0 inch screens and DSi XL has two 4.2 inch screens. As android phones have only one screen, how large a screen would I need for DraStic?

Re: Minimum Screen Size
My screen size is only 4.0" and it is remarkably comfortable, so when stretched will be two 2.0" inch screens. EDIT: I have an Xperia Play.Trqrrhmn wrote:Can anyone tell me the minimum screen size needed to play DraStic comfortably? The original DS had two 3.0 inch screens and DSi XL has two 4.2 inch screens.

I own an original DS, and when I compared the screen quality with that of my phone while playing Mario Kart DS, it is MUCH more comfortable playing on the phone, even though the screens are smaller, because of the quality of the screen.

Do you use portrait mode or landscape mode?chocolatecake wrote:My screen size is only 4.0" and it is remarkably comfortable, so when stretched will be two 2.0" inch screens.

Re: Minimum Screen Size
I think it depends on the game. For example, some games don't make good use of one screen or another (Pokemon comes to mind, and Radiant Historia), so I'll play landscape and set one screen to 3x and the other to 1x so the "main" screen has more real estate to work with.Trqrrhmn wrote:Do you use portrait mode or landscape mode?chocolatecake wrote:My screen size is only 4.0" and it is remarkably comfortable, so when stretched will be two 2.0" inch screens.

For games that utilize both screens well or are purely touch based, (like the Phoenix Wright titles, for example) I'll play in portrait mode with both screens equal.
That said, for non-touch games I tend to HDMI out to my TV and play that way so the screen size becomes irrelevant. When I'm playing "on device" I'm using my Sero 7 Pro, so I've got a 7" diagonal screen. It's a comfortable size, and looking back I don't know how I ever played on the tiny DS screens.
Edit - I should add that when using games that don't need a lot of touch based stuff, I use a PS3 controller. Much more comfortable that way than with the touch based controls.
