Works well, great emulator, just wish there was a way we could move the buttons where we want, they more often then not cover the screen making touch screen games harder or near impossible to play or when a game has buttons and touch screen it's annoying when switches between the two. Also, if the button to reset the game was quicker to get to/able to be put on the screen. I for one like shiny hunting and having it there/having a more customizable overlay would make things alot more enjoyable.

игры Was working absolutely fine until just recently. Screen randomly turns black and freezes the game. Only way around is to reload the game which loses my recent progress. Edit: I have recently started using the auto save feature and now it no longer freezes. Been absolutely brilliant. 5 stars.

apk free download - oceanofapk At first I thought "no way I'm paying for an emulator! I'd just buy a DS!" But oh BOY am I glad I took the chance. Customisable user interface down to each button and screen placent, not to mention the best emulator I've used, possibly for any console. Other emulators are choppy, mess all the textures up and make the music sound like it was made by someone with no sense of rythym, but this emulator is as good as the original as were ever going to get. Just buy it, trust me

apk free download For the most part this emulator is awesome, but something it SORELY needs is a way to backup the settings. There's a LOT of settings to mess with, too many to remember. And God forbid you have to do a system restore on your phone, you instantly lose all that. If only all that info was saved to a file you could drag and drop or something. It's LONG overdue. Fix this and you'll get 5 stars from me.

download full version Before the Android 11 update on January of 2021 I had no issues with the DraStic DS emulator. It ran smooth with no hiccups. After the update traffic DS emulator stopped letting me read my ROM files from my SD card and later stopped reading from my internal storage as well, even though I had given it permission to read my files. I've been trying to find a solution for the last month and a half and I have nothing. I want it to work again, as it is my favorite emulator, because of Pokemon Platinum

download Wonderful tool, no complaints. However, wanted to give mention to a current issue I am experiencing today. Opening and 'continuing' crashes the app every time, unsure why. Worried that uninstall/reinstall will mess up save data. Galaxy S21 Ultra. Hopefully addressed soon. Thanks!

скачать бесплатно It's really good! It's faster than everything else I've tried, and I've been using it for a couple of years now. Cheat codes work fine, most games run without issue. Even on Chromebook it runs perfect. The only problem I've been having lately is that certain games just refuse to load. Sonic Colors is a mass contender. As well as certain ROM hacks. They won't load either. Is something just wrong with my settings? I really don't know.

full apk Used to work perfectly but it doesn't work anymore due to the Android 11 update. My roms don't appear and there's no way to browse for files anymore. I hope it gets fixed soon. I'll update this review if it does.

4pda Darn near Perfect. No trouble what-so-ever getting set. Has all the features I've come to expect in quality Nds emulation. Only problem is getting it to properly function with an Xbox one controller. Wish there was a button mapping process, big time. Would be 5 stars.

pc Recent update to android 11 prevents access to the sd card completely on this app. Last update for this app was apr of 2020, it feels like this app has been abandoned. Android 11 has been out for a while now, yet no fix in sight.

I like the simplified interface, and unlike other emulators, it is easy to navigate game files and settings. This emulator runs most games well. However, I have noticed in Rhapsody A Musical Adventure DS, the music crackles at times. That issue is tolerable and doesn't make the game unplayable. What isn't tolerable is that Final Fantasy Tactics A2 has issues with crashing. Overall though, I am pleased with Drastic and FFT A2 is the only game that has crashed out of the 5 games I've tested.

Great gameplay quality but randomly crashes and loses progress. Even saving frequently doesn't prevent this - it seems to lose all data for the session. Sometimes I can play for hours without issue; sometimes only ten minutes. It's really unfortunate because this is otherwise an excellent emulator and runs ridiculously smoothly even on my older phone (Galaxy s7)... but I haven't had these crash bugs with other, free emulators I've tried. :(

Was having fun over all playing Pokemon white 2, but then once I made it to mistralton city and to board the plane, the screen goes black, yet the music continues to play, so I can't make it to lentimas town, unable to progress in the game. I've tried several times, along with disabling any cheats I have on, thinking maybe it was part of the problem, but nothing worked, so I'm stuck in mistralton city, unable to continue.

Use to be my most used app on my phone until the most recent update. Now I can't access my roms on my SD card. Looks like this is something that's been known for months but the devs aren't doing anything to fix the issue. Such a shame :\

As far as emulators go, I'd say this is the best one on the market. Games run pretty smooth and the level of customization is phenominal. With access to cheats too, you can play Pokemon with all shinies, randomized, no exp. etc.
Marcus Hattula
2021-03-23T14:21:12.560Z
Works perfectly for me. Zero crashes and no emulator-related issues. I wish some functionality to enter and save personal custom cheat-codes would improve the experience. Device used is a Samsung Galaxy A71, using touch screen controls. Have mainly played Pokémon games.

2021-01-29T11:55:56.541Z
great emulator! but the mic function is kinda insufficient, if you want to play games that require that function, it will be difficult or impossible to play. I wanted to play nintendogs, but the name calling feature made me me stuck. hope developers will update this

2021-03-26T18:03:34.237Z
Just wasted my money, I bought this emulator just because I can edit the screen sizes, for a D's emulator on a phone that's really helpful. HOWEVER, the app is unusable as out of all my ROMs, only 2 appear. Nothing in the settings to scan folders or directories. Hopefully someone can help but from the forums and Google it seems like a update needs to happen

Hands down the best NDS emulator for android. After years of floating around the free versions - Ad riddled, slow performance, laggy animation and clunky interfaces - finally found a worth it replacement for the DS. You get what you pay for and if you want a fast, clean emulator, paying a few quid versus console price, there's no question!

I am in no way an expert at this stuff, but i do believe that this is an amazing app to run DS games on. I myself, have had no major problems with this app, some of my saves do get corrupted sometimes, but i figure that's because I sometimes enable cheats. Overall this is a great app!

There's a grapical glitch in Heart Gold that corrupts Ho-oh's sprite at the beginning of the intro, and will also occasionally corrupt the exclamation point sprite when an NPC notices me and challenges me to a battle. The corrupt Ho-oh sprite is harmless, but the corrupted exclamation point crashes the emulator before the transition from overworld to battle can occur.

I wish the keys were a little better, sometime I find myself walking the wrong way on pokemon. John GBA controls work best, i wish Drastic was similar to that. But overall everything is perfect, the only thing that would make Drastic better is if it had local multiplayer

I really like this emulator. As someone who is terrible with technology, there's something nice about it just working without me needing to change the file format and all that. It's easy to control, responsive, and works really well
Goodnight

Played for around 25+ hours so far. Everything works fine. The app never crash. Not once I ever ran into any major problem. The touchscreen works really well, never expected that from an emulator. 5 bucks for an app that work well like this is amazing.

This is by far the best emulator of all time there's so many customisation options including stuff you would never even think of like closing the ds which only use is making Mario say bye bye in Super Mario 64 ds though if I may offer a suggestion I would like the ds start up screen to play before every game and have the option to toggle between the DS i start up screen and the DS start up screen. A feature like that would be so small but offer so much for nostalgia.

Doesn't work with latest Android 11 update. Even after giving it permissions to use the file system it won't list anything other than /storage and I can't browse anywhere else. Sad because I really like it otherwise, but this is just ridiculous
Ryker
2021-02-24T07:23:29.696Z
The definitive DS emulator for Android. However more updates and optimizations, and options would be nice, along the ability to use your own DS BIOS like melonDS. As a side note, the bluetooth audio streaming for hearing aids (using the Oticon Streamer Pro) is so painfully delayed and low quality. Youtube and Instagram doesn't have this problem.

Have emailed support. Unable to browse storage in app since Android 11 OS update. Seems this has been a problem since the updates release for many apps, as there are several reviews stating the same issue. Will update review when it's fixed.

2021-04-07T17:56:04.975Z
Android 11's new "Scoped Storage" is the reason why this app cannot access SD Card anymore, they add this useless feature for "pRiVAcY fRiEnDLy", they really ruined all emulator apps because of this feature.
Cody Moore
2021-02-10T17:43:05.362Z
Unusable. I have given all the permissions to the app but I cannot access my files to open my ROMS. I'm using an s21 ultra and new to android and was super excited to use this app cause I have used it on a raspberry pi and it was awesome on that and wanted to support but currently can't use it.

The 3rd special button is not appearing despite clearing data, reinstalling the emu again... It does appear in layout editor, but nowhere else can I find it in game, despite me trying to change the settings one by one to test out what cause this

* I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S20FE I don't know if it's because of a recent update or what but when trying to load a game the file explorer shows up blank. the only way I was able to play one was by downloading an external file Explorer app and going to my ROM folder to load the game. (The default Samsung file explorer won't work because you can't manually pick an app to open an associated file type. It tries to do it automatically otherwise it tells you to download from Play store)

Runs well on the Retroid Pocket 2. Saves settings per game so I can vertically stack games that need both screens and hotkey swap those that only need one at a time. Converts certain key presses to touch presses where needed. Excellent and accessible quick menu.

The smoothest DS Emulator money can buy, and it's well worth the 5 Quid my only gripe is for my galaxy A20 when you press the close lid button to shut the ds and open it back up, the game crashes, if you could fix this you've secured a five star, in my eyes it already is

UNREAL!! I used this app all the time. However, while using this app my phone was hacked and all of my phone got completely wiped clean. I was able to restore most of everything. My photos from years however got completely lost. My fault for not backing them up, but I will not be using this app ever again

2021-03-15T02:38:09.490Z
Edit: more than 3 years of usage, still top notch. Great dev, great emulator, highly recommend buying. It's just the price of 3 coffees yet much better. Old review: excellent nds emulator, never had any issues, very fast, support every games i threw at it.

One of the maybe four apps I liked enough to buy. So stable, never had an issue. Save state updated whenever it goes to the background which is a must for phone multitasking. Good performance even on an old motorola phone. Able to customize controller layouts PER GAME. It just works.

Game runs smoothly but I am unable to find the virtual gamepad I've made sure the controller icon is on through the menu, stylus is off, opacity is 100% When editing the button layout it's visible but once I closed it & edit screen, the virtual gamepad disappeared Appreciate if can help with issues

This is a great emulator. But you lose a star because the "eye for decay" in castlevania: portrait of ruin doesn't work due to graphical issues with this build. Please fix it.

2021-02-13T21:23:00.429Z
Love LOVE this app, but save frequently because it's pretty rough when it crashes after about 20 minutes of use. I'm on a Samsung 10s plus and it's perfect aside from the crashes.

Got a Z Fold 2? Ever thought it'd be the perfect emulation platform for the DS? Well fun fact, it is. Once you edit the screen layout and control layout and sizes, you proper off-screen controls and dual screens. This seems to be the only DS Emulator where you can properly use the extra screen realestate that the fold gives you.

This literally got 60 fps on my KINDLE FIRE (yes you can get Google play on Kindle Fire). That thing only had 1 gb of ram and it still delivered. I now use it on a much better tablet and still get 60 (obviously). Overall, I am very pleased and am very thankful to whoever developed this.
Natasha Lyons
2021-02-05T02:20:32.998Z
One of the best DS Emulators out there right now, it worth the money and I can't recommend it enough, I played good multiple games on this and only crash few time but that was probably my tablet.
Jan Dassow
2021-01-27T21:27:59.903Z
Overall a great emulator, definitely worth investing into. Played everything I threw at it perfectly, minus the occasional frame drop that is to be expected with emulators.
Will Vander Heide
2021-02-07T10:18:54.370Z
Overall it's a great app, but the menus are a challenge to navigate when searching for newly downloaded game, and it crashes unexpectedly without at random times.

2020-11-19T22:23:17.319Z
The emulator itself seems to work with relative ease, and isn't overly complicated. For the deal you're getting, the price really isn't bad. However it should be noted, there are on occasions some graphical glitches, and the occasional crash here and there(in my opinion, its to be expected). In addition to that, there should be mention of the fact that in game saving can prevent some freezes, bugs, and glitches from occurring. Soft-locks appear possible when not utilized said function enough.

(1) Everytime I open DraStic setting during gameplay, the screen layout reverts to two-screens even when I have chosen the one-screen landscape (2) Random sound crackling after opening DraStic settings during gameplay (3) There is no option to globally disable touch button and to globally disable touch input on 2nd screen (4) Crashes on Final Fantasy Tactics when casting certain spells (5) The dev doesn't update the app regularly. Just go open source already. Let other people fix the problems.

2021-03-10T03:55:43.740Z
I don't Recommend this Emulator. I paid for this app but i experienced so much error during the game. it always crushes when you load saved games, i even reinstalled it still same problem. i only used it for a couple of days. im so disappointed. sorry!!
ViolettePlays
2021-04-04T20:04:03.516Z
Runs games perfect, the only reason it's not a 5 star is because the fast forward seems extremely laggy no matter what game or settings, when set to unlimited its perfect for fps but way to fast at 1000+ percent, but if I have it set to any of the set speeds like 200, it feel choppy and not smooth at all
Pietro CG
2020-12-26T14:00:26.573Z
Still the best, but downhill lately. A lot more bugs and random shut downs of the games now, even though they played perfectly a year or two ago. What have you changed? Could you just change it back? I hate these crashes that happen every 40 minutes.... Lost a lot of time on them. Still the best emulator for DS out there, just sort this out pls?

2021-02-08T21:43:11.577Z
this is very well-made, being an emulator for android. playing on pc will always be optimal, but THIS. this is the best nds emulator you can find for android, and I've actually tested the other free ones. there are 1 good nds emulator but DraStic just knocks it out of the park not even expensive, let's be real

If you're debating paying the 5 dollars, don't, while other emulators are stuttery and slow, this emulator moves at the speed and quality of a ds, and it's extra features don't slow it down 10/10

When I try to resize and rearrange the screens on my fold 2 (perfect phone for da emulation) the moment I save the edited layout, the two screens snap on top of each other at the bottom (one covering the other). Unfortunately unusable, had to refund

1st and last thing I buy on the app store. The most important part of a game is the save state, and this useless app crashed and overrited my savestates so I lost all my progress... Got ripped off. By the way I give it 0 stars It os just not possible

I tried to get some pokemon games but the black file thats supposed to be connected to all of your files does not work for me. When i tap it it flashes blue then nothing happens idk if i have to jail break my phone or something to get it to work but i have tried every which way with the 5 videos of tutorials ive watched that all show "load new game" with the black file connecting to all the other files on your phone working with no problem, but for me it simply doesnt.

The emulator worked flawlessly on my S9 plus but now that I've downloaded it onto my S20 the app can't find the folder with my ROMs and I'm unable to navigate to the appropriate folder
Daniel Jones
2021-01-25T16:38:24.219Z
The emulator is good and plays Black and White without, but I gave it a 4 due to no option to make the center of the D-pad a deadzone which would of made it easier to use.

Amazing ds emulator!Definitely deserves its money.Only problem I had were the controls in some games are difficult to handle.Anyway still the best emulator.I really hope to make it support wifi in the future.

Excellent Emulator, very much worth the money. After a while I forgot it was an emulator. It has a really intuitive layout and the touch screen functions work probably better than the DS. No lag, supports in game saves and savestates. Automatically finds the roms on your device. And has all the customisation you could need. As said before it doesn't run the battery that much either. Very pleasantly surprised by this emulator. Have enjoyed the entirety of Pokemon soul silver already.

2020-11-16T01:39:11.916Z
This is the best DS emulator for android. I've been using it for a few years now. All the emulators I tried before it were completely unusable with their lag, but this one is perfectly smooth. I think the only thing that could make the controls better is if you added an option that made the buttons vibrate slightly when pressed. Also, if it is at all possible to work towards DSi compatability, that would be amazing. The DS itself doesn't have many great games, but the DSi does.

Way better than expected. I bought this to play Super Mario titles, and it has done a great job of emulation. For those new to emulators, it will take a while to get used to the controls, and some customisation is needed to get the right layout for all the buttons to be right where you need them. However, after an adjustment period, it really is a great way to play a DS title of your choosing.

Very nice experience and options but not the most modern looking and has some settings that refuse to update sometimes.

I cant scan for games. Each time i tried to the app crashes. I bought this app so please can you fix it ...

Great emulator. pretty much turns your phone into a Nintendo DS. And I can say with almost one hundred percent certainty that nearly every issue that the bad ratings are talking about have nothing to do with the app itself and are due to sub par hardware. they are having crashes because their phone can't keep up not because of anything the app is doing wrong

Without a doubt the best ds emulator on mobile, however definitely needs more features and customizability. Also sorely needs feature to move joypad and buttons.

Great Emulator, works great and has a nice cheat system for someone looking to mess about some. Works cleanly and is highly worth the £5 or whatever. If you emulate regularly, then this is great, it works even better than the Free Ds For Android. As an update to this, the emulator has gone downhill slightly. It now has frequent crashes, visual glitches, softlockes, and more. This is no longer worth the money. Two stars.⭐⭐

Doesn't work on Android 11, doesn't appear to have access to internal storage despite giving it permission.
Sam George
2020-12-21T17:25:47.673Z
Used to be a great app: Customisable screen space, google drive save backups, pre-loaded cheats database (if you're into that), and a ton of customisation for all sorts of things. Looks like the developers stopped updating recently and sadly it looks like I'm not the only one it doesn't work for. Trying to load a game on my chromebook will cause the screen to briefly flash and then immediately returns to the title screen of the app.

An excellent emulator, to be sure. My only problem is that my touch is offset slightly below where I actually tap. This is the case for the buttons and the touch screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 and have had absolutely no problems up until installing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I have no clue what the problem could be.

The best ds emulator for android i ever saw! All works perfectly fine and i can not ask for more. Just pay the man for his damn work and enjoy. Just use the game pad.

Worth every penny - the best emulator on Android and the only one as far as I'm aware that supports upscaling, which DS games benefit from massively since their native res is only like 256*256 or something in that ballpark. I'd absolutely love to see future versions support higher upscaling resolutions like DeSmuMe (a Windows DS emulator that supports up to I think 8* res, but honestly 4* is plenty and current mobile hardware would significantly struggle beyond 4) and also support WiFi features.

2021-02-15T00:13:25.714Z
Horrible now. On almost all my roms it starts like it's going to play then says ds can't read game file and to restart the ds. The same roms read fine on other ds emulators. This used to be the best but apparently no longer.
Stephen Haroldson
2021-01-19T17:48:46.604Z
Been wanting a good way to play DS games on Android but was always disappointed. Drastic has played everything I've thrown at it perfectly. Kudos for such a great app!

2021-03-03T00:25:53.669Z
Won't let me open any games on my note 10!!!!! After a few days it finally opened my games. 2 days later it won't open them again. What a garbage app it was great before.
Josh R
2021-03-29T08:09:43.869Z
This is the best DS emulator in existence. The only thing that could make it better would be incorporating achievement support through retroachievments.
Robert Murri
2021-03-02T19:44:48.834Z
Anyone having issues with drastic jobs longer finding roms after last android update, go in to settings / apps / drastic / storage and clear cache and clear data. Then it will rescan for games

2021-01-04T08:53:57.981Z
DEVS: like your app im almost happy with it. Its got great customization and even support for a full cheat database. But sadly this emulator crashes all the time, i mean constantly. On my Galaxy S20+ Ultra 5G, And on my A50, and my A20+. This app needs work. Crashes when implementing cheats in any game i tried. If that's the kind of performance I'm getting from a 5 dollar app amongst mostly free ones...Yikes lol Refund. I expect it to just work and it does but only under perfect circumstances.
Wooly Ampharos
2021-03-19T06:47:46.865Z
Very nice for the price easily plays the roms and has some built in cheats for that extra debug feature, very nice

2020-11-17T12:20:28.307Z
A very good Nds emulator, probably the best in the play store, u should buy it and support the dev The reason for 2 star is, i was going to travel, i would have been ofline so i bought this emulator, to play some old games during the wait times and... It won't work because it could not verify my license. Which was the whole reason i bought it, to have something to do while offline. That was a few years ago, vut it left me disappointed
Jake Wachner
2021-01-26T02:48:10.979Z
Pretty good though it would be nice if when I setup my screen I didn't have to for each game. Also it would be cool if you could add a feature for dual screen phones.
alexandre nackers
2020-12-05T07:24:29.935Z
This was an amazing emulator but now I can't even open the game it crashes and brings me to my homescreen I've uninstalled the app and reinstalled it 3 times already please fix this. Edit it was only doing that because I had downloaded a corrupt file and it was only trying to ensure I didn't corrupt the other files as soon as I deleted that file it works like a wonder
Colin Weber
2020-11-25T13:56:25.918Z
Drastic is awessome! But does not work on the pixel 5. I have had dratic for a long time and never had any issues with it. But getting the new pixel 5, the directory no longer works so I cannot select any of my roms to play. If this was fixed this would be a 5 star review. Edit: I believe it has something to do with Android 11

works well and have not had an issue so far, very well made emulator with a good amount of customization.

2021-03-14T12:54:40.679Z
Its great I would give 5 stars if you could change the D-pad to separate keys as I always seem to hit up or down when I wanna go left, update that and I'll put 5 stars for sure

Has a lot of potential. Multiplayer compatibility would be a good jump and Gameboy compatible would be nice too.

While you can obviously download and play whatever you want, (the DS library has over 2000 games to choose from, not withstanding homebrew), I recommend starting with a roguelike called POWDER. If POWDER isn't your cup of tea, then I highly recommend trying out Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords - it's a bejeweled-style puzzle game fused with a D&D-style CRPG. Both games are perfect for Android, IMO.
Diabetic Rai
2020-11-21T11:31:35.693Z
Absolutely amazing. It's difficult to find an app, let alone an emulator that's constantly good but somehow Drastic has managed to do that for the better part of like what, 7 years now? The people behind it deserve all the credit in the world
Justin Beck
2021-03-17T04:13:38.769Z
Worth it as long as you are willing to buy this. Best NDS with amazing cheat lists. Even Yu-Gi-Oh WC07 is on this. Downside it requires license verification. Meaning you must be signed in account (Gmail).

Was having trouble getting DS games running at full speed on retroarch on my Galaxy S8. Tried every setting available and nothing worked. Bought this emulator instead and I was able to run the games full speed with no lag, without tweaking any settings whatsoever. Definitely worth the small price it costs. Would highly recommend this app to anyone having trouble emulating DS on retroarch.
Rashira Asavara
2020-10-25T01:30:10.156Z
I bought this app 7 years ago while I was waiting for my ds flashcard to arrive. It worked flawlessly back then for the few games I tried. I can only imagine its even better now. I dont use this anymore because i dont need to, but if you want a DS emulator, I highly suggest this one!

5 star for the emulation but my only complain is the absence of virtual button for key combination(like a+rb) p.s: sorry for my english
emma omo
2021-02-01T17:33:23.667Z
If you're going to make a DS with two screens. At least make it suitable and compatible with my LG v60 dual screen phone. If you really want us to be be satisfied, think outside the box. I mean the DS is pretty much known for having two screens at least do the same with my phone that also has two screens.
Nick Noble
2021-02-08T20:12:51.410Z
Excellent emulator, runs all my games without issue and has a good amount of options for comfortable screen layouts and controls.
Rainlily 3-oh-5
2020-12-16T02:51:06.301Z
It's really amazing and I adore it!! However, I'm only adding 4 stars because there's a feature option that doesn't work. I'm not sure if it's just not there yet or the button is a glitch, but there the option to do WiFi multiplayer, however when I press that button it says WiFi multiplayer isn't supported. I'm assuming the button isn't supposed to even be there yet, so I think it's existence is a glitch as of now. Other than that, everything is a-okay, though.
Brandon Lawler
2021-01-28T18:24:35.105Z
Was referred to use this by someone on reddit who swore by it. Unfortunately it did not work for me. I spent over an hour downloading several Pokemon Emerald ROMS attempting to save them in multiple locations but could not open any of them manually, nor did Drastic pull any of them up automatically. Switched to MyBoy and used the same download and it opened immediately.
Jockeylou
2020-11-25T14:44:34.356Z
Many other emulators I would try to run games like Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow or Mariokart DS. They would all and I mean ALL lag. This just blew my mind and I am very glad to have spent 5 dollars to play DS games 100% lagless. I found this very enjoyable :)

Nate
2020-10-22T21:13:55.725Z
I was hesitating at first looking at the 5 bucks. But I'm glad I spent it. I mainly got this so I could play all the ds pokemon games, and even randomizers. Graphics, viability, and speed is amazing! No hick-ups, and I'm on a relatively old phone too! No I'm not bot, (although that's something a bot would say lmao)

2021-01-15T17:00:46.510Z
this emulator is good but close to something like desume the setting are fine ds games run well but i can not play rom hacks anymore plus desume has a 4k setup festure which its good if you only have a android not if you have windows
Jordan Brown
2021-01-09T18:02:22.631Z
(Edit: Still needs these features) I love the right joystick compatibility, but there are things it still DESPERATELY needs. 1) 3x-10x rendering resolutions. 2) 2-8x MSAA and be able to mix MSAA with 2-8x FXAA & SMAA. 3) Have Post-AA (ex: FXAA & SMAA) and texture scalers (ex: HQ4x, 6xBRZ, Hybrid + Bicubic) be separate settings. 4) 2x-16x Anisotropic Filtering. And 5) The ability to map button presses on a controller to points on the touchscreen. (Also, can you add beta sign-ups?)

Best $5 I've ever spent. I came in wanting a new way to play Animal Crossing on my phone, since my phone can no longer support Pocket Camp. I got that and so much more. Pokemon ROM hacks, Mario Kart, Professor Layton, Nintendogs, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Tetris DS etc. This has extended both the life and use of my phone for probably several years. Only complaint is a stylus is required for some games like Rhythm Heaven to run perfectly. Being able to move the buttons is a lifesaver.

i couldn't register in the fandom or website because i enter "Exophase" for the author, so i just want to say, for those who think multiplayer is impossible and got annoyed by people talking about these, try to check with melon ds emulator before say something, i have used the multiplayer my self for gaining dlc and i did it.

It's good. I found a recurring glitch in one game that I've played, but I can't be sure if it's the game or the emulator.
Jon Rudd
2021-01-11T14:43:58.556Z
Recently found my nvidia shield portable. This emulator is perfect for it. Download the games on the shield and this will even scan folders for applicable games. It's the best thing I could buy for less than a fiver. Has the option to have in game saves, full screen rather than the ds split screen too. I don't leave many reviews, but I had to for this one. Worth every penny to play Mario again with no issues
Joshua Wilson
2021-02-16T03:41:10.133Z
Great. Can't get the Google Drive connection to work but so much of this app is perfect I can't really complain too much
Sid Waltz
2020-12-27T00:41:46.888Z
Works great. I've played many of my favorite games from back in the day. Keep up the good work drastic! Only issue is the app is not eligible for Family Library because I purchased it so long ago. My kids would enjoy this app on their devices.

2021-03-12T02:25:41.820Z
Good thing that the crash issue was fixed. Thanks so much exophase. Surely that DraStic DS is the Best DS emulator for android. 2 thumbs up. But it will be much better if you enable nintendo wifi emulation so we can trade pokemon
Ryan Chisholm
2020-12-25T03:32:58.318Z
The emulator works great, good layout and customizable features, one thing that irritates me is when playing some games, the screens will go black, but the controls stay, and theres nothing you can do besides close the app and lose all unsaved progress, devs, please fix this
Matheus Monteiro
2020-12-22T23:25:36.970Z
Don't recommend. I paid just to be able to play Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 and the emulator can't handle a LOT of things in the game and crash. Found out today that the community have been pointing those issues for years and the problem is not fixed, and will never be, cause developers don't care. Save your money.
Gerald Santana
2020-10-23T03:48:51.990Z
I give it 4 stars due to the fact that the app deletes your saved files after a while is there is a solution to this problem then I'd be more than happy to give it 5 stars, the app is almost perfect minus the saving problem.

2020-12-19T04:49:53.712Z
A Really good NDS emulator. I used to use supernds for emulating NDS but it was slow I thought it was because of my phone until I bought this emulator. Performance is unbelievable it runs everything perfectly without frameskip. I fully recommend this emulator.
Joshua Walker
2021-02-07T19:10:00.845Z

Great emulation settings and runs excellent. Havent had any issues in over 40 hours of gameplay. It may fail to save sometimes with thr save states but doing it multiple times until you see the spinning wheel or relying on in-game saves takes care of that. Well worth the price.
Basil Choy
2020-11-10T08:24:31.120Z
Audio lag is an issue for music based games. Even with lag set to low, there's still some delay. Other than that, performance are solid. Hardware 3D rendering really boost the quality of graphic.
Finch Hoyt
2020-10-19T12:49:15.938Z
Probably the best nds emulator available for Android. I use it on both my phone and Chromebook and it works great. It can track real life time for games like Animal Crossing and Pokemon HGSS, if you asked me for an nds emulator I would genuinely show you this one, especially for Chromebook.
xXLeon13
2021-03-13T19:25:24.338Z
Best emulator. 5 stars when you patch the speed up feature so it can use full frames instead of defaulting it to 6 frame skips.

2021-01-09T21:47:59.285Z
Usually when loading a new game, games don't load and I have to go through the menu and find the game again to load it, also it has crashed leading to data loss on several games. That being said, it is one of the best emulators on android and everyone should buy it.

2021-01-13T23:31:07.164Z
Used to play it a lot but now the game just crash when i try to load games. I press the "load game" button on the main screen and after a short loading it just stays on the main screen without any button working, just freezing like that.
TheFantaPanda
2020-10-26T10:21:57.903Z
Worth every penny. Excellent compatibility and decent customization options. Would happily pay for a Windows version as well were it available. If you are into emulation, this is an essential app.

2020-12-02T19:15:21.920Z

Had a gut feeling this wouldn't work after trying ClassicBoy's DS emulator didnt work with my Samsung A21s, but still fancied giving it a try. Well, I wish I had recorded my reaction when it worked gorgeously smooth! Plays NSMB beautifully, going to try my other games later. Beyond happy right now!
Moses Cuarenta
2020-12-24T06:01:57.632Z
Works great you just need a good enough phone for it to run smooth. When will you add "Online" feature to play with other people. You can umpliment something like PPSSPP did with custom online servers

3D rendering. Activated once and now the screens are permanently swapped. Yes I can swap the screens manually but if I were to go into battle it's inverted. Very tedious to manually do it. It's fixable by reinstalling DraStic though. DQ IX
Mike Cudmore
2020-11-27T11:17:36.330Z
Works as intended but will randomly close a game in the middle of playing it, and if you don't save thats a ton of progress lost. Getting kind of annoying aside from that its great.

Kami Sakura
2021-01-04T16:42:01.500Z
kinda wierd when i use the fast forward, like its skipping a big frame, 150 kinda not good either, maybe its time to add a smooth enhance high speed processing option in the app and its about time for that
