DraStic

I was playing Star Fox Command in DraStic, and I remembered that the game had Rumble Pack support.
Does DraStic have rumble support? And if not, could it be added?

It's not supported. It's possible it could be added later but I don't know yet if it will.

And would that be trivial or deceptively complex to implement?

The interface on the DS side is simple, but trying to get all the timing and whatever to match up in a way that feels right with the Android side might not be.

I remembered that I have an N64 emulator on my phone (Play N64, which, for some reason, was removed from the Play Store soon after I downloaded it) that can emulate a Rumble Pak, making my phone vibrate whenever a real Rumble Pak would.
I have no idea how that works, but we could probably reverse-engineer that for DraStic.

If your talking about N64 Player by Brad something or other it was removed over a whole false dmca (by brad towards Mupen64) while at the same time copying mupen and adding extra permissions, ads, and a paid version, also maybe some improvements (though mupen ran faster).

I ended up replacing my N64 emulator with mupen 64, yeah it does run faster. BTW mupen can do that Rumble Pak thing too

N64oid was pretty fast too but it has not been updated for a very long time. The clones of mupen64plus with ads on the play store is annoying

And so do adware clones of pretty much every single open source emulator out there. I'm all for OSS, but a big bane with it would be those who take the code wholesale and sell an unauthorised fork of it. MAME/MESS tried to curb this practise through the use of a custom licence, but even that didn't cut it.
