What are users saying about CoolNDS (Nintendo DS Emulator)

U70%
by U####:

Galaxy s5. plays smooth unlike every other emulator tested. Only problem is constantly force closing. I can play usually 15 min or longer until a fc. Just have to save often

O70%
by O####:

It does not lag at all on my Xperia Z, also thank you for making the app. May i just ask if possible to make the buttons alittle more transparent? Thank you.

J70%
by J####:

I just got it and I LOVE IT!!! I have downloaded Pokemon Platinum, Pokemon Ranger and Pokemon Explorers of time and they all work perfectly. Don't even have a quad-core and its fine.Will change to RetroArch because of graphics though

T70%
by T####:

Cant acces option, xperia doesnt show this options button(the 3 dots stuff), besides that it runs smoothly

X70%
by X####:

Horribly slow. Playing pokemon white. A note of the theme song comes EVERY FIVE SECONDS OR LONGER. Horrible. Do not download, it is just a waste of time and device space.

T70%
by T####:

I've played the n64 emulator made by the same person, and this I just got. It's a bit slow though. If that is fixed, I will change to five stars

T70%
by T####:

It lag a little more slightly and it fore closes when evr I played the game. Plz fix it Xl

T70%
by T####:

Doesn't even work. When you open it they show different folders in you phone. Don't understand how to work it. Don't try and get it.

U70%
by U####:

It is the second fastest emulator I've ever played, but speed is not what I'm looking for. Also, the slowness sometimes adds dramatic effect. The fact that it saves your game unlike other emulators. However, it has crashed but only one time, so I probably won't change emulators. Drasftic gives you a thirty minute limit then erases any record of you playing it. YOU CAN'T EVEN SAVE IT!!!!! THIS is the reason I'd like to keep this emulator.

T70%
by T####:

Just bexause its open source doesnt mean you can take their code jerks

A70%
by A####:

I spent two hours on pokemon diamond and came back to find all my progress was gone.

T70%
by T####:

I downloaded about 10 ds emulators, but this is the best. Unlike every other emulator ive played, ds or not, it dosnt have a fast forward mode. If you add this, 5 stars. Guaranteed.

T70%
by T####:

Please just do two things. Make it faster for pokemon games. (Like diamond , pearl etc.) Also include settings.

Z70%
by Z####:

I had heard great things about this app. Sad to say it doesn't work at all. All it shows is a white screen or blackness.

Z70%
by Z####:

Literally every minute I get an ad and 30 seconds is 3 minutes and I have an s5 with a great graphics card

D70%
by D####:

This is a good emulator but when I play pokemon the music is slower than usual I have to keep pressing a to make it faster and it crashes often I just have to save it more often so I can avoid it please fix this and I will give you 5 stars please help

B70%
by B####:

App crashes every ten minutes or so, frame rate is slow but manageable. I'd rather not have to save my game every few minutes just in case I lose my data.

T70%
by T####:

Its really slow for some games, I have the JIT blocks to 100 and skip 9 frames and it still runs kinda slow

G70%
by G####:

Stuped

N70%
by N####:

The speed and quality is fine but you need the sound, the options for saved games, and I can't even exit out my game

T70%
by T####:

I require the attention of the developer of this app to fix the problem with loading roms.. some roms failed to load therefore Dubugging it would be necessary and important..

O70%
by O####:

After using this app for a couple of days it deleted all my saved data! Don't waste your time with this app.

K70%
by K####:

Its good, the only problem i have is the fps drops and raised, its 63 fps for a long time then it drops to 40 for a bit then raised, its pretty annoying

B70%

I just got it and I LOVE IT!!! I have downloaded Pokemon Platinum, Pokemon Ranger and Pokemon Explorers of time and they all work perfectly. Don't even have a quad-core and its fine.Will change to RetroArch because of graphics though

It was sooo good i cant believe i just gave review ..... Hats off and other people create a emulator yourself if you have a problem! Dont blame the they are doing their best!!

K70%
by K####:

At first it crashed only once in a week now its been crashing a whole lot pls fix and then I'll rate 5 stars make Pokemon games much faster too

K70%
by K####:

It was soooooo disappointing. It kept on crashing. It recognized the files, but every time I tried to open them I had the "unfortunately coolnds has stopped".

K70%
by K####:

The emulation is pretty good, quad core and its only slow on a couple Roms, my problem: is there a settings menu? If so how do I get to it? If I could make a few tweaks that would be a lot better (: but either way, great work

K70%
by K####:

I was playing Mega man ZX Advent, and the second I defeated queenbee (which I believe was in the middle-ish), everything closed itself and everything back from there to when I got rospark (which is in the very beginning) was gone. Fix and I will rate better and tell my friends. By fix, I mean find a way to get the progress I made back, and prevent this from happening again. It's also quite very laggy.

G70%
by G####:

I did not know how to access settings for some reason.

B70%
by B####:

I can't even play pokemon on here and It crashes and some how crashes my tablet! Please fix it and I will give it 2 more stars.

K70%
by K####:

You should add a menu box so i can connect my tablet to me phone with the app BT controller so plzz do it i really want my phone to be a controller and my tablet as a tv

I can't seem to turn on the sound using my Droid Maxx. Please help! Will give 5 stars if you do

K70%
by K####:

I, like many got this in order to play pokemon, but you gain 0 experience for everything you defeat, ruining the point of pokemon in general, right?

K70%
by K####:

Compared to nds4oid . This one is slower . Although you have the best n64 emu ive used . This one flopped and . It made youre device freeze quite often

K70%
by K####:

Don't get nds4droid it never saves your game this one will save your game I tested to make sure so I recommend this one . just needs sound.but it still rocks.

K70%
by K####:

Unlike other things. But it took 2 minutes to load my pkmn game... For some reason every different emu I get the same layout. And they ALL say I downloaded pkmn black when I don't. I try to get pkmn black 2 and it doesn't work

K70%
by K####:

It jst stuck on a black screen saying scanning external storage for about 15 mins (EDIT: k my bad, it works, bt still too much lag)

K70%
by K####:

I only downloaded one ROM hack ONE ROM HACK AND IT WON'T WORK NOBODY SPENDS TIME ON NINTENDO EMULATORS THE ONLY GOOD ONES ARE GAMEBOY

K70%
by K####:

Its great, but the audio is broken and delayed by 2.6 seconds. And the only game i have is a rhythm game... please add a audio sync. I would give this 5 stars if only the game wasnt hard to play on this... thank you!
