I've been having to save my game twice in order for it to actually save. I've realized this after closing and opening my game after saving once multiple times and it didn't ever save. So save twice. The controls are finicky especially the d pad. Plus, select, start, R, and L are in the way all the time to where I just play with the screens swapped since they interfere. You get to choose if you want the layout in your way of vision or way of you touching the screen.

free It has potential to be great thats why I'm not just giving it only one star unfortunately. I'm disappointed that the amulator frequently freezes on me in the middle of my gaming for split seconds, enough for me to get annoyed and ruins the whole experience for me. Honestly I was expecting more from a paying product. I twicked around all of the settings to find no solution. I have a samsung etab tablet and I think is a decent hardware to play ds emulators on it.

apk download This is by far the best mobile emulator available. I know a thing and two about emulators. This has all the features you will want. It is also very well optimized so it will run well on lower end devices. And on higher end devices as mine you can easily upscale the resolution.

pokemon games Edit 9/23/20: (I don't like how now It redirects me to adds even though I paid for app. Plus why is it now asking me to allow downloads from unkown sources and my phone gives me a warning)? This works so good. I mean it is so easy to use as long as you know how to download roms. Once you successfully download one then you will be on your way to getting a great collection of games. The games are all only around 10 to 50mb. So you can download a good library without taking up too much storage.

apk 2020 It runs flawlessly for me, with almost zero issues so far. The only complaint I have is regarding the controls in the menu itself. While the A and B buttons on my Xbox One controller work normally with the mapping in the games themselves, that's not the case in the menu. Half the time, both A and B act as the enter key and I have to resort to the touch controls to back out of most sub-menus. This is rather annoying. I can't seem to find a workaround, so far. Aside from that, this app is great.

ocean of apk It honestly works better than the desktop emulator I've used. It let's you customize the screen and button layouts, has options for cheats, accessing saves is easy, allows for a save state, and fast forward is easy to use and adjustable. I've already recommended it to friends

cheats Unlike any other DS emulator in the app store, this one is actually good! It runs great, it plays well and can run most if not all Nintendo DS games. The only thing that bothers me is the "Continue" button on the menu crashes the app.

chromebook I'm so frustrated. This app is terrible. I just wanted to use a movement speed cheat in pokemon SS and now nothing works. Why is it that after disabling cheats they still happen? What about reloading saves? The cheats need to be fixed asap. Waste of 5 dollars. Edit: Another complaint. After fixing the glitch myself, I played for another two days or so saving both in game and in the app. Somehow all of it got erased. So disappointed, frustrated, and I've completely lost my drive to even play now

for android I've been using this emulator for more than a year, I've been loving it so much. The PERFECT ds emulator, I tried so many others, but none of them even come close to DraStic's quality. Thank you so much. There's only one major thing I find annoying though, sometimes games don't load up the first time and take around 3 times before they start playing

iphone There's a bug where everything randomly resizes smaller and doesn't revert until...it feels like it. Clearing cache or restarting my device doesn't fix it. If I attempt to resize the screens or move the controls while smaller they distort when the layout reverts. Certain games still crash randomly (usually during scene changes).

The app is amazing and everything runs smoothly, (other than some sound issues this is a great emulator) Although recently ads have been popping up whenever I open the app, and it's never happen before. And the x is sometimes too small to click and I end up being redirect to some sketchy sites. So I would like to know if this is the app or my phone. But other than that I would 100% recommend this emulator to others!

2020-09-11T17:40:23.813Z
Great emulator. Runs smooth. No ads. Nothing sketch. Just honest to God Ds games. Wish I could mess with the button layouts, but there's ways around that and it's not a big deal to start with. Highly recommend

Incredible emulator. Comes with a ton of options and customization options along with a large list of cheats to play the game however you want to. The savestates are reliable and it is easy to swap from game to game. I used this emulator to replay all the DS Pokemon games and this emulator is absolutely perfect for it. Would recommend if you want to replay your favorite DS games on your phone.

Runs like a dream on my S9+. I'd previously tried using RetroArch (slow frame rate and unusable audio). I like RA for a bunch of reasons, but DS emulation thru it leaves much to be desired (slow!). I moved to SuperNDS Pro, which made games playable (with some tweaking). Decent frame rate and intelligible audio. Problem with SDNS is that it doesn't support ROMs on SD (boo!). I finally downloaded Drastic about a week ago and I am beyond impressed. Buy it! Step into the light!...

Not only does this have more features Included, it's the only emulator on the store to have a "no filter" graphics option, meaning you can see all those glorious pixels perfectly sharp without linear or upscaling by default. It also allows every game to be placed to the phone desktop with its own icon, which launches rediculiously fast :) if you emulate a lot, this is worth it

I cant rate this app highly enough. In my years of using it I've never experienced any issues with any game at all. and recently I found out that my PS4 controller works with it....with no need for set up or ANYTHING! I just connected it through bluetooth and it worked perfectly. this emulator is even better than desmume for the PC which ive had a lot of headaches with
Troll 4 Life
2020-08-31T11:12:37.836Z
This emulator has so many features like you can change what the background image looks like and change what the controls look like so you can make it look like a ds, there's also this option that makes it look like a 3DS remake no matter what game it is they did it with a method that I can only describe as wizardry, They also have a slot 2 that you can have GBA games in so far it only works on a handful of GBA games but I wouldn't be surprised if one day it would work on the entire GBA library!

2020-08-22T17:21:12.897Z
Ok, I've been using this for a LONG time, I love it. But recently it's been deleting my save files...? I have save states but I like to load them manually from the screen as start game bcos I save them in game, too, but somehow it always reverts back to New Game mode unless I click the save state....help?

2020-09-21T00:28:00.460Z
The App was working fine on my previous phone but ever since Ive re-downloaded on my new phone it keeps crashing in the middle of a game and I continuously get error messages and "The app stopped working" messages on my phone. Im playing on the galaxy A51. Please look into this and fix please! 🙏🏻

Easily one of the best emulators to buy if your going to spend money I highly recommend this very easy to use never have bad any problems limited adds also if you aren't good at this stuff simply watch a YouTube video and this app is easy enough to set up.

After updating to the latest version, my ingame saves suddenly dissapear. even after playing and saving my progress in-game and playing it again, i cannot find my progress since it is blank. can someone help me about this? it seems the emulator don't save my ingame progress. i've been playing loveplus for almost 2 years now. good thing i uploaded my progress in google drive.

2020-08-09T02:29:29.458Z
This emulator seems to have better performance (audio and video) over the free ones I have tried. It also seems to not crash as much and be compatible with more of the games I play. Overall it's just a better experience and worth the 5 dollars even if you use it to just play a few games.
Jordan Brown
2020-07-22T16:00:16.965Z
A great app with amazing features like right joystick compatibility, but there are things it DESPERATELY needs. 1) 3x-10x rendering resolutions. 2) 2x-8x multi-sampling anti-aliasing and be able to mix MSAA with 2x-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?)

It's sometimes hard to play because the r and l get in the way I wish I could move it up. I always end up having to put the bottom screen on top. But overall amazing!!!!

2020-08-19T15:01:56.942Z
This does work but my low review is because you can be playing on the app, then switch over to some other app just for a moment, then go back on this and the app resets itself all unsaved progress is lost. I HATE this feature, but the app does work. Just literally have to save every single time in your game even if you are not playing it for just a moment.

2020-09-22T12:08:27.828Z
Awesome emulator and has cheats to mostly all games. The only thing is that. Sometimes when you save in-game. It won't save so you have to save twice. In-game and with this emulator.

- everytime i open drastic setting during gameplay, the screen layout keeps reverting to two-screens even when i have chosen the one-screen landscape. - random sound crackling after opening drastic settings during gameplay. - there is no option to globally disable touch button and to globally disable touch input on 2nd screen. - crashes on final fantasy tactics when casting certain spells. - the dev doesn't update the app regularly. just go open source already. let other people fix the problems.

So far the best emulator for DS games, running smoothly, it's really worthy if you like Old games like pokemon... The only negative thing it's doesn't have the option Multiplayers/Wi-Fi supports for trading like a real DS.. Overall it's really a good emulators app to play DS games...
Sterling Archer
2020-09-07T17:54:14.416Z
I had this on my note 8 and it worked perfectly. I've since upgraded to the S20 Ultra and the frame rate is insanely bad. Very choppy and freezes sometimes. I've messed around in the settings and still can't get it fixed.
Niko Reiesu
2020-09-11T05:58:20.152Z
An amazing emulator, does nearly everything right...except for headphone audio. For some reason Bluetooth headphones cause significant audio delay issues (2+ seconds) for this emulator, so be aware of that if you want to use them with this emulator.
Talih Kenger
2020-08-23T08:05:38.552Z
Great app but my screen layout saves keep getting messed up. I have to adjust screen layout everytime I start the app. Note20Ultra android 10. The screenlayout function is bugged for me. It will save my layout but make everything bigger when I re-open the game.
Adam Henderson
2020-07-24T23:57:30.895Z
Tried alot of these DS emulators and they have nothing on this one I'm still playing around with the settings and features this app brings but first thing you will notice when trying this app is the picture quality and how smooth it runs. Also fast forward feature 🤤🤤🤤 a must have for pokemon games. For anyone wondering im running it on a Samsung s10 and will update my review once I've had a further play around with this app but so far great app no issues found well worth money
Munier Abdurahman
2020-07-23T06:33:29.624Z
Greatest app ever... but I'm having issues with final fantasy tactics. The app keeps crashing, it's never done this before and I've had it for well over a year now. Please fix, I've even e-mailed you guys but no response yet

2020-09-07T02:02:40.795Z
The BEST emulator for mobile ever! Most emulators require you to risk your private information, but not DraStic. No lag, Cheats! , And more! I finally get to play the Pokemon ds games. Worth the money. If you want the best emulator on android, get DraStic it's the greatest emulator and truly revolutionary for mobile devices.
Naxal Dusk
2020-09-28T18:52:49.572Z
By far the best DS emulator on Andriod devices. Easy to use and learn. Only drawback is loading times, but that might be cause the games are big.
Sabrina Colson
2020-08-03T06:39:58.220Z
It's really helpful but appears to be missing features found in other versions? Namely I can't keymap the third special button so I can press two buttons at the same time, something I cannot do by myself with the default game pad. This can kind of completely RUIN some games, so please fix it 🙄 The controls are god awful and half the cheats don't work. Wouldn't recommend paying for this when you can get MUCH better emulators for free.
J.J
2020-07-30T20:51:41.198Z
Definitely worth the money! Now I can play all the ds games with much better audio and smooth gameplay. But the only problem is that you cant save the game "In game" which isnt really that big problem because you can just save on the DraStic.
Henry Hunter
2020-08-20T03:58:35.205Z
Honestly amazing, i have never had a problem with crashing or glitching yet, and i am able to replay some of my favorite games again, this time from the comfort of my couch thanks to the in app controller support!! Definately the best android DS emulator i have ever had! :)
Twist of Collection
2020-08-05T17:57:27.331Z
Great Emulator, my only suggestion is that I hope there is an option to change the position of the L+R and Start+Select button so that it doesn't block to touch screen below. It can be placed in the free space above the joystick.
Vicki Miller
2020-07-02T19:08:01.452Z
I really love this and I haven't had any of the issues that I've seen other users mention. I'm using it to play through the old Pokémon games, so being able to adjust the screens and the controls is crucial, and it's super easy to do with this. I do wish that the app included local trading (through other game files on the app, not with other players). I rely pretty heavily on trading with myself in these games where you need to trade certain things, so it would be a great addition!

Recently got a new phone and this was one of the first things I installed, on my old phone it worked amazing with no issues, but now the app refuses to acknowledge any of the 7 nds files I've downloaded and only runs new super mario Bros, I've tried everything I can think of but it just doesn't recognize anything
Stie Putra
2020-09-26T11:15:33.416Z
this is probably the best DS emulator, I've never encountered any serious problem, most of the games run smoothly... i think it deserves five stars
Calvin Liemowa
2020-07-13T04:30:28.205Z
Like maybe the best DS emulator for Android. Simple to use, plenty of features, and never give me any trouble. I've been using this for few years I think? Anyway, I don't have any other comments except this emulator is my favorite.

2020-09-02T06:28:47.519Z
I see your warning about the game cheats may cause the game to break. What do you mean by break? Will the game not work anymore? Really important since I need cheats to get certain pokemon since you cant trade with this app which is a bummer. You should add that feature onto the app that allows you to trade yourself and/or with others in pokemon like in the myboy app. Please that would be awesome.
Sir Pokenn
2020-08-10T15:47:44.276Z
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. Five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lee Henderson
2020-07-28T03:43:09.133Z
The emulator itself is amazing, just a question though. My kids are connected to my Google play acc and when I try to install it on their phones it asks me to pay again. Is this normal or a bug?
Papa Shockwave
2020-10-05T19:37:31.336Z
Awesome emulator. Only drawback is that it doesn't have the ability to take advantage of the LG Dual Screen. That would be absolutely perfect!
Brandon Tan
2020-08-08T03:00:11.365Z
Please add a feature where the game auto saves after you leave the app, I cannot tell you how many hours I have lost due to me being used to every other emulator auto saving. It is extremely useful and really isn't that hard to implement.

Released 8 years ago and still doesn't support wifi, it should be about time to focus more on the issue boss man.. Until it supports wifi and multiple play I put 5 star

Playing for a week now, and I was devastated earlier when the screen went black, only showing the controllers and buttons. Searched the internet if there was a way to fix it but didn't find anything. After trying different ways to in hopes of fixing it, Iwas able to fix it!! I'm so happy! I'm hoping it won't happen again though. Btw, I'm playing on a Samsung 20 Ultra.

This is a good emulator, with a couple of issues - it can't play some of the most popular titles of the classic nds. 😩 (Like some of the mini games in Mario party) Secondly, it still has bugs, and even though I save often both in-game and in the emulator, it still annoying to deal with reset bugs, or freezes, etc. I have not experienced in other ds emulators. I hope these are fixed at some point and I'll give the 5-stae rating. 😞

Terrible, I thought it was amazing but it kept crashing my games for doing literally nothing, of course I spent 3 hours and suddenly it has to crash in the most important time of the run? Really?

I just wanna say that now I can't go on "Load new game" for some strange reason... If I tap anything else it doesn't freeze, I really enjoyed playing but right now I can't play, please tell me something to do

Great emulator for DS games. Had it for about a week and it's run smoothly the entire time. I've tried a few different games and each one has been perfect. The only issue I've had is the placement of the buttons can be a little weird depending on the game you're playing. A suggestion for an update would be a button layout you can customize yourself.

I saw other reviews complaining about this app, about crashes, games not loading, etc. After buying it myself, I'm convinced those cases were either user error, or early bugs that have been fixed by now. Some have said the save states are unreliable, but the app tells you explicitly not to rely on them. There is literally nothing wrong I can find about this emulator. It even runs a LOT better than the DS emulator on my PC, and drains less battery than other apps. 5⭐ Definitely worth the money

Perfect DS emulator, I tried many other but they failed miserably, this one works perfectly and has all the options needed. Finally playing pokemon soulsilver and platinum exactly like on the DS since I cant buy them anymore

I hope the team make a 3 or 2ds emulator! The team did an amazing jod on this emulator. It runs smooth and everything. Its like a real ds excluding internet compatibility. But its fantastic! Keep it up!

2020-09-09T12:35:12.805Z
Best emulator you can get for DS. I have been using it since 2014. This has every minute detail features from DS like emulating closing DS (it requires to solve some cases in a particular DS game) or blowing in mic etc.
Tunny Bunny
2020-05-18T13:50:57.787Z
It's a great emulator for its price, Although after the recent update some Roms crash would crash. HeartGold straight up crashes when you boot it up (SoulSilver is fine though) and MarioKart crashes after a single track regardless of the course and speed. I haven't checked for other games yet but for the most part, everything works just fine. ps: These problems might have already been present in the version before the last update and I was just not able to check at the time, but I'm not sure

2020-09-04T12:47:09.605Z
This ks a badass app. Every ROM I install doesn't have any hacks loaded into it, but the emulator has some sort of search system, becausr it always has hacks for any game you have. It also plays so smoothly.

2020-04-27T16:10:49.134Z
Really good but a couple minor things bother me. 1: there's an option for whether to load a savestate when starting a game from a shortcut, but when it's set to off there's a prompt which can be annoying. 2: it adds a few bytes to the end of the in game save file which seem to be unnecessary and add hassle when trying to copy the save file to a physical cartridge, and there's no way to turn it off.
Triple B
2020-06-06T08:17:11.356Z
Really good emulator. Love how you can change the fast forward speed, and also love the layout feature. A couple things I would really like to see and the reason I didn't give 5 stars, I noticed there is a portrait lock mode but no landscape lock mode. Would love to see a landscape lock mode and also the ability to save to multiple save states.

Runs smooth just like a ds. Controls are iffy but there's not much you can do about that. Overall perfect emulator
Jordan Yunker

Absolutely amazing emulator, very worth the price. Runs everything well. I was having an issue with screen flickering, but messed with settings and fixed it
Kevin Griswold
2020-09-07T18:17:04.428Z
Pretty good emulator. Games runs great and is stable. Please add a bulk scroll for the games list. Scrolling all the way down the list of hundreds of games is tedious
Yoman Level 74
2020-05-14T03:19:27.485Z
This is one of the best emulators but uploading savestate to Google drive don't seem to work. One example is when I upload a save state and as soon as I leave and come back, the uploaded save state is gone and is no longer detected, and the option to upload the save state doesn't disappear, allowing me to infinitely upload savestates. When I uploaded all my saves and went to my other android device with another copy of drastic and my rom, the uploaded savestate wasn't detected from my account.

Best emulator for years, but since the last update , whenever i try to scan for games the app freezes. By the way, mt phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

2020-06-22T22:59:23.564Z
This is no doubt the best DS emulator for Android. I've tried so many others and nothing matches this, first off the other app "NDS4Droid" is pretty terrible in terms of graphics and FPS, the only other substantial DD emulator by developer CPU studios is shady and sends you to an odd download of DraStic. In terms of FPS, DraStic reigns supreme, it has top notch performance even on a lower-end phone like mine (Moto e6) The graphics are much much better and the graphics, *chefs kiss* 1000/10

2020-05-18T23:40:20.557Z
Works better than emulators on PC ever did, even on older and lower budget devices like HTC Desire 510 and Galaxy A5 2017. With a plethora of options (especially for placement and scale of screens and controls) and the ability to set per-game options and layouts, this emulator is the best one for DS by far.

2020-07-04T17:43:48.634Z
You may think 5 dollars is a steep price for "Some stupid app" but its all worth it they have 16-bit rendering and some great 3d rendering optoins for 3d heavy games. The only reason im not giving 5 stars is because there is a lack of good filters for the games, i would really love to see something better the hq2x or FXAA. Overall im really enjoying the app its without a dount the best nds emu on the play store so if you want a quality experience just pay the dev the 5 bucks (they deserve it)
Daniel
2020-05-16T19:29:50.800Z
Works perfectly. Paying for an emulator felt weird, but being able to run DS games on my phone this well makes it worth it. I tried some other DS emulators before getting this one but they always had performace issues. DraStic finally allows me to play Pokémon SoulSilver at 200% speed, which is a godsend.
Victor Gaeta
2020-08-31T17:03:41.818Z
This is a very solid emulator but I'm confused how to use the speed up button. Also it would be nice if it could back up my saves to Google drive unless it does do that and im mistaken .

2020-05-03T03:11:05.987Z
This is the perfect NDS Emulator. No questions to ask. 10/5. The roms I downloaded run S M O O T H, butter smooth. Even allowing me an outlet to play Newer Super Mario Bros. DS (for anyone unaware it's a NSMBDS rom hack with a bunch of original stuff that I highly recommend) This. Is. The. BEST. NDS. Emu. E V E R.
Cow
2020-08-01T20:41:17.949Z
Used to work great. Have tried everthing I could think of but the app crashes on a sheild portable attempting to start any game. Demo version works, but that is not really a solution

Only just purchased this app seems 2 wrk fine so far on my phone but when I went 2 install it on my tablet it wanted me 2 buy it again not sure if this is a bug. But I've never had 2 pay 4 a app twice before bit disappointed by this tbh
Jamm Marcelo
2020-07-10T04:27:23.703Z
Overall good app that i can play my favorite DS games. But when my phone got a system update the app crashes when i open a game fix this error pls or give us a money back cause this is just a waste of money, that we paid, if this error will still occur. Ill rate it 5 stars if you will fix app error when doing system update Update Edit: Good thing that the issue was fixed. Thanks so much exophase. Surely that DraStic DS is the Best DS emulator for android. 2 thumbs up.

2020-08-18T02:57:49.148Z
The best DS emulator, support controllers, tons of customization, different display combinations, 1000% recommend!!! Just paid and play till the end of universe.

2020-09-05T04:52:07.570Z
Wow I never thought I would be able to relive all the games I played on my ds + others that I never got the chance to buy at the time. 10000% worth buying!
Ari Morgan
2020-06-29T17:35:57.192Z
The only reason I give this 4 stars is because there isn't enough virtual gamepad customization options. I am constantly inputting the wrong thing, and making the d pad bigger just obstructs the touch screen. In Pokémon I am constantly walking when I don't want to and in Mario 64 ds I fall all the time because the d pad inputs the wrong thing. Add more customization options for the virtual game pad and this gets 5 stars. Make it so I can have the d pad from the John gbac emulator
Moon & Stars
2020-08-11T14:32:40.937Z
Whenever I click load new game it just says scanning for 3-5 seconds then it disappears then the game closes, I hope you fix this problem. I can't even play a game
Skadoosher 77
2020-06-09T23:00:37.527Z
The emulator runs well on my just out of date note 9 and is great for most games that one would want to play. I will I've tried playing on older phones and it chugs quite but i dont think that can be helped. As always with phone emulators though, if you dont like touch controls, you better hope you have an xbox controller and the proper cables.
Leo Lavender
2020-07-31T10:57:15.730Z
I honestly love this. The only problem i have is how the L start select and R button are in the middle of the screen.
Clik
2020-06-28T21:48:37.422Z
Awesome way to play DS! Supports Action Replay codes, HD rendering(for 3d games) and more! The only issue is that it leaves a notification if you exit it without using the button in the app. Idk why they did this, but that's pretty much all that stands between this and perfection.
Volt
2020-07-26T06:29:32.594Z
Why is the A button so odd? Every other button works normally but the A button only basically needs to be held down for it to register a press. Please fix it

Tried to play a game, and before I even got to the main menu, it crashed so hard that my tablet screen went out and I couldn't even turn off the tablet, while the music fron the game kept playing. Took me almost 10 minutes to get the tablet to turn off. What's the deal? I used DraStic four years ago and never had an issue. Don't ruin something that was good.
Solomon Garland
2020-09-27T10:24:36.821Z
It just works, for the most part. No connectivity or trading, but that's to be expected.
Mr. Krabs
2020-04-27T12:53:24.446Z
Mostly good emulator, make sure you have a bluetooth controller handy if you plan on buying it. It's a bit pricey for an emulator but it's the best one on mobile so it wasn't a regrettable decision. An option to emulate the wireless communications would be nice though.
Iris Meijer
2020-04-30T12:02:20.377Z
The time system is very wonky. Often the emulator doesn't register system time, and assumes the same time it was when the game was closed. Custom time doesn't work at all. In the last few weeks it has started corrupting my animal crossing saves, making me lose town's I worked very hard on. The saves I backed up got lost too. Unacceptable
Aaron Leonetti
2020-08-30T05:50:27.671Z
Ive played on nds emulator pokemon platinum and advance wars dual strike and the framerate was horrid! Drastic changes that! Nds emu also force closed alot and so far Drastics been smooth as butter 😘! Thanks guys if i exp problems ill re rate it.
Nicholas Croft
2020-06-28T22:22:11.506Z
It worked for like a week, then both games crashed and now all I can load up is a white screen. Could be my device, could be the files, could be this app. But I've never had this problem before...just wish I didn't waste my money coming back to this in 2020 :(
Giovanni Paolo
2020-07-14T14:59:57.669Z
Best NDS emulator out there. (Including PC version of them) It's totally worth the money I spent on it because they continue working on new updates and making it better for us as users.
Rachel Stent
2020-08-29T19:42:44.354Z
This is the best emulator app I have found! I uninstall then reinstall every couple of months because I just cant help but come back to playing old ds games.
Sideeq Umar
2020-07-05T10:54:46.214Z
Amazing emulator couple bugs. Sometimes the controller layout doesn't save accurately. There's no snap options so buttons are ALWAYS unaligned unless you reset the whole layout. The shoulder buttons are too thin. Emulation wise, it's pretty flawless. Wish it had more filters shaders though.
Taylor Hoyt
2020-08-28T05:15:17.559Z
Seemless experience. I stopped playing a game for months and came back with all my save data in perfect condition.
Deodat Lawson
2020-06-08T01:41:33.136Z
works perfectly other than a few frame pauses here and there but overall, hasn't crashed once in my 6 hours of playing pokemon white and the save states havent failed me yet for my huewei p30 lite. id say its worth the price. just be sure to check other reviews to see if your device can run it smoothly
Physalis 17

Using a Moto G7 Power and an Ipega Red Knight controller with the emulator. Runs very well on my phone and the touch controls are accurate. Very impressive emulator.

2020-08-22T09:18:00.760Z
Best DS emulator, hands down. Prefect for revisiting my favorite rpgs from the ds right on my phone. Now i can play Dragon Quest and Pokemon till my heart's content.
SB
2020-08-19T19:00:41.769Z
Perfect experience for a phone, but I want this app to support SamsungDeX so I can use it on my PC, or at least add keyboard support to function as buttons

2020-06-18T11:05:53.321Z
It's a good emulator. Many have been complaining about crashes,but you should know better not to overuse cheats and use a better device.my only complain is the movement button. Please enable choices as pokemon is better with movement button like pubg where you can touch anywhere to move instead of just fixed.

Better than the original DS experience with an S-pen. Nintendo guidelines to push touchscreen input ended up making DS games ideal for emulation on phones

except for not letting three button combos, it works great. I would five star if we could press r+l+a (chrono trigger).
Saulo Coelho
2020-04-28T12:56:23.330Z
A very good emulator, and worth the price..maybe the best on Playstore! The only complain i have is about the backups on Google drive not work all the time, and so bad WiFi don't work as WiFi and multiplayer. Otg cable gamepad work good, and all games with high graphics..Keep up the good work
XENON KILLER
2020-07-06T22:08:36.218Z
The emulator is amazing top notch even. However it says that the emulator should be able to pick up my MOGA powerA controller however it doesn't. Overall though pretty good Edit: Okay the reason why my MOGA didn't connect was because it doesn't register the MOGA pivot app but does acknowledge the MOGA universal driver.
Ismael Muthana
2020-05-10T23:08:53.430Z
Works perfectly, apart from the issue of the license check failing occasionally, which is an issue when outside without wifi. Would be good if they added the ability to name savestates. Multiplayer would be something to aim for in the future.
Andrew Johnson
2020-07-10T03:28:52.729Z
Custom mappable external controller support, don't have to move any files, actually makes the graphics better, and plays Pokemon Platinum without random black dots. The only downside is that the built in controls don't have a joystick. 9.5/10 definitely worth buying.
Dae Young Choi
2020-06-12T09:38:13.418Z
I love this app im glad i bought it! I just wish i can play pokemon emerald! If you guys can make a Gameboy Advance or Color or maybe possible to play GBA/GBC backward compatible that would definitely be great! TBH i was pretty skeptical but my friend told me about this app and then i bit the bullet and well that was the best decision ever! haha. anyways keep up the good work!
Jayden Trafford
2020-05-13T06:06:00.292Z
I've been playing Pokemon Black 2 for a couple days now and today while in the app samsung kept opening with a random site. Then my lock screen was an ad too. I found the virus by putting the phone in safe mode and hopefully got rid of it but be careful using this app. It's a shame cause it works really well and I like the customizability of the interface.
Vince Galea
2020-08-10T14:32:13.820Z

I only wish that this developer would also make a 3ds emulator. I enjoy the drastic for ds games but there are a few roms I would love to play that are 3ds only. Please make a 3ds emulator or maybe even make it so this can play 3ds roms

The emulator is best especially on Note series it feels like you have a real dS. I wish you add multiplayer mode so that the emulator is complete
Mystic Gaming
2020-05-03T01:29:12.635Z
I loved this emulator 3 years ago. Now it's bad. For starters, I cant access my roms easily and when I finally can access them after hours of searching it wants me to download a suspicious app that I've never heard of and suspect to be malware. Exophase, please, I beg of you. Make roms easier to access. Please
grimlockrider 1
2020-06-28T21:35:07.672Z
I love the app but I wish that you could add custom buttons so if your using keyboard and mouse or controller, you could add a custom button on screen and you would not have to reach and touch the touch screen to do a certain action.
Liam Nolan
2020-05-29T07:24:04.120Z
DON'T BUY. Have been through multiple ROMs and all have ended up crashing. Total waste of money *Edit Pokémon platinum worked and hasn't crashed so far. Although, Drastic recommends to use the actual game to save, on multiple occasions this has failed and I've lost 10+ hours of progress already. FREE DS EMULATOR IS FAR BETTER.
Joshua Fahrenkrog
2020-07-17T11:38:09.685Z

Joseph Lucido
2020-04-28T15:16:19.750Z
This is one of the better emulators I've used. It cool cus it comes with it's own set of cheat codes so I dont have to do the work. Also i can bluetooth my steam controller to it and play that way as well. No game play problems unless I break it.
Bryan Jones
2020-08-15T00:01:59.647Z

2020-08-16T14:38:48.435Z
Best DS emulator on Android. Hope multi-player is supported soon. Would be even better if 4x + resolution and wide-screen fov hacks are supported
Emmet
2020-05-01T15:24:27.741Z
Definitely one of the best emulators. Gets updates regularly. Worth the $5! Quick Question: Do you have plans to add a non-wifi local multiplayer function that can communicate with an actual DS system, or would that be too complex?
Alex Hodges
2020-07-16T13:45:10.957Z
I've used drastic for what seems like forever now but recently I've been trying to play yugioh over the nexus and reverse of Arcadia and it says the game files are not playable.
Isaac Lopez
2020-07-05T07:12:04.723Z
I do enjoy using this app but there is a problem with the game controls. Whenever I play a game, there is a point out of no where the controls suddenly stop working, which prevents me from continuing through the games.
LionSlingshotWMD
2020-07-26T12:27:27.346Z
Great app took me a minute to figure out that the main menu doesn't save your game you gotta go into it but its very good otherwise
delt
2020-06-27T15:47:34.434Z
Very fast and mostly accurate emulator. 4/5 because of a few glitches: (1) some lines/circles missing in a few places, and (2) bottom right of lower screen sometimes vertically misaligned by 1 pixel. Tested on several devices.

2020-06-06T09:07:30.327Z
It was great but... the game Pokemon Heartgold can crash and it hasnt happened to me but it could get rid of peoples progress. This should be fixed also because whenever i rematch the gym leaders it always crash when i win (or lose).

This emulator runs flawlessly. The only issue I have is the microphone. I can't get to work for games like Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. If you could help me out then it would be a huge help. Thank you for this amazing emulator!
Shadow Fox
2020-05-21T20:26:31.150Z
Absolutely wonderful! The only thing I'd add is for it to be affected by the rotation lock. However, it's just a minor inconvenience. Other than that, allowing us to change the screen sizes a little more would be greatly appreciated.

The most likely game for people to play is pokemon and if you are going to do that NEVER try to run all cheat commands at once. I leared that the hard way but other than that this is the best thing ever

I'm rating 3 stars mainly being I spent hard earned cash money$ for this supposed best NDS Emulator available for Android users. Please explain why it crashes least two times every hour I spent using this app plus dont even use the cheat codes or do anything special with editing the settings and what not
Captain Bungslayer
2020-05-13T16:44:57.910Z
I don't pay for a lot of apps, but I let this be the first one I supported! Followed the development for years and with my first ever paycheck. Years later, I finally remember to leave a review. It's good stuff.
Kyle Lewis
2020-06-07T19:01:04.217Z
Is anyone else having trouble with ads that won't go away after downloading this app?. These ads are also extremely inappropriate if you have a kid that is under the age of 12 this needs to be addressed immediately because it's all over my phone now and I can't get rid of them.

It works great ,super easy, games run smooth, and no lag money well worth it.

Insanely good ds emulator, runs significantly better than any other I've used. Very worth the $5

Literally perfect, even works on chromebook and has a built in cheat database. I always wondered why most reviews look cliche on some apps as if people were payed to say it but this is genuinely one of the best emulators if not the best emulator I've ever used

Best ds emulator in the app store but the one thing I wish they could add is where you can trade your pokemon with other pokemon games for example trading pokemon from soulsilver to heartgold and if gba emulator can do it you can too

Needs option to disable Bluetooth/gamepad controller. I have one that maps the screen to push the virtual buttons and the app is taking control of the controller making it not work. Tried selecting none and no mapping. Doesn't work

It works well but crashes a lot so make sure to save every couple of minutes.

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

Hi Dev Team, I hope you could create a multiplayer/wi-fi for Pokemon games. It would be great as we emulator users didn't experienced multiplayer back then.
