Your app is amazing! It runs extremely smoothly on my samsung A3, unlike other emulators on ios that have slow speed, this one has the speed of a dsi! I cant wait for the full version!
I had a minor issue when trying to customize the control interface, but I can forgive that because of how otherwise flawless this emulator is. Totally bought the paid. Great job.
The app is great, its fun playing the ds games I downloaded but when the time runs out, I start the whole thing again and it want let me save my checkpoint...please fix the app
Tried lots of games on it and they all worked without lagging. Other DS emulators I tried were not as good as this one.
This demo runs very smoothly but...it didn't save my game at all, as in I lost all of my progress. That coupled with a 30 minute limit makes this very unreliable. But this IS a demo, so limits are to be expected. All in all, if I had the money, I'd invest in the full version.
Works flawlessly and has all the options I could ever want. Eg, screen positions, filters and frame skip. It's better than the real thing. I will be purchasing.
JANUARY 1st, 2015: When I bought the full version of DraStic it sayed "could not verify license" so I refunded it and I have not yet got my money back. I'll rate higher when I get my money back and when this issue is fixed. Please fix. JANUARY 4th, 2015: Still have not gotten my money back.
You're not SUPPOSED to be able to save, it's to allow you to see how it works on your device. Other than that it runs smoothly and by far the best one I could find. Once I get a Google play card I'm buying this.
When I was playing out of no where it shut down and lost my data and it gave me a bug . do not download.
first of all, keep in mind this is a DEMO so all you get is 30 mins of play, then game restarts. Broke my ds so wanted to try this app. I'm very impressed! Really smooth in comparison to the other ds emulators out there. Some games, such as mariokart or Mario 64 ds are pretty hard to play with on screen buttons but I was happy to learn that the app is compatible with external controllers. I connected my dualshock 4 (by Bluetooth) and the experience was way better. Buying full version let's u use cheat codes
Awesome. Everything is okay and fine..the smooth emulator ever. But 1 thing for sure.. if this emulator can multiplayer or trade using such as bluetooth or wifi. It will be even great. Believe me many people will buy it. As for me, i also will wait until this emulator can multiplayer. Believe me MULTIPLAYER
The level of idiocy on these reviews is amazing, people obviously don't understand what a demo is, I hope they aren't from my country. That said, this is a great app, it works fine and all the problems people are having are easily fixed in the settings, which makes me worry about the future of our human race.
This is the best emulator for Android. It works flawlessly. Most other emulators lag even with frame skip 9. This one doesn't lag at all if you have a decent phone. They were generous to give you 30 minutes of play time with this emulator. Within those 30 minutes, I looked at the amazing features that the demo version alone has given me. One problem though. I found out that you cannot save on the demo. So if you want to try it out and then buy the premium version, don't try it for too long.
Its ok but dont have any save button....please put it...im begging you.....drastic..>.> ^^
After trying out a bunch of games, I've noticed that this app blows all the free ones out of the water. It runs games as clear as crystal with its accurately smooth graphics and framerate. Perfect for people who either can't find some games in stores, need access to foreign exclusive games, and pretty much anyone who wants to save money. BUT there is one teensy little flaw. Certain games that require the touchscreen suffer from a slight problem that you may need to overcome somehow: Rhythm Heaven has a slight delay that will put you off rhythm, even if you do follow the music, that you'll end up following the visuals and likely tap and flick too soon or too late. Kirby Canvas Curse has an issue where if you draw a rainbow line further away, the line wont follow your stylus fast enough and smear off some direction due to a delay. These were used and tested using a Galaxy Note 4, and compared side-by-side with the actual DS and game carts. Overall: this is great for playing games youve missed and lets you save money for other things, but still falls short from the official product even with all the usual emulation conveniences
Why you can't quick save you randomly crash just no i hate this emulater im not paying money for a basic version the ppsspp emulater does this much better and who whould spend money on this crap
Great job with the app guys it works wonders for me and i love it 100%! This app works just as good as the DSI; if not better in my opinion! You see my DSI was glitchy and froze my games very often to the point where i could not advance in my games at all. I love this app it is a life saver and lets me reconecct with all my favorite games for free! Totally buying the full version! Once again great job Drastic team!
Testing out the game first before purchasing is a good idea, but i found some lag problems on playing pokemon black. My new phone lags but i saw other lower versions of android is faster than my phone. Please help resolve the lag at my phone its a zenfone 2 android ver. 5.0 lollipop x86. I will buy this app if its fixed on my phone and rate 5 star. Thank You
But i really really REALLY want the full app but i have no
Hate it hate it hate it
Every time I try to play pokemon ranger shadows of almia and pokemon Mystery Dungeon explorers of sky/darkness/time it won't let me play my saved files! ! What's wrong?
I love this app. One problem: it'll play games DraStic can't (some), and some games DraStic are able to play but this can't. But everything else is fine though. Thanks, Exophase.
this is the best ds app i have ever found first of all there is no lag in the game all other ds apps were laggy i think this is the only ds app i have ever seen that isn't laggy and the controls sound pretty not mention it works like a charm i like the demo because it gives someone like me to see if the app is worth my time and it is i will definitely buy the full version in the future and i recommend this app to everyone
It'd a great app the games run much smoother than free emulators. Think about buying full thing for such great work *edit* fps counter would be very useful could you please add one **for other reviewers** DO NOT give 1 star because you can't save. That is the point of a demo
I wish its free I'm just a kid wishing to be happy I like it but I can't save it and load its super great but its had to pay
Why 5.99 is too much. The time limit set on this app is not long enough for me to determine if I want to buy it, is ridiculous.
To all those people complaining that you cannot save, realize this: THAT IS THE POINT! Otherwise, you could just play 30 minutes at a time, save, and start the game back up for another free 30 minutes. Nobody would ever buy the full version. (As a side note, this is the best emulator that I have found for the ds.) No lag.
One game is all i needed, pokemon platinum, it runs great but it doesn't save normally, how am i suppose to continue after the league if it doesn't save normally? I've played the same game in computer emulators and works great, the problem is your emulator, not the file
The graphics r amazing and all games worked perfectly. Its just like playing on a normal ds. No lag and no problem finding your games and playing them all. Sound is amazing highly recommend this for anyone wanting to pay less for playing ds games
This emulator is amazing and plays smoothly with no lags like the other emulators. I can play all the Ben 10 ds games because I am a huge Ben 10 fan. But there is one issue. So if you get the demo, you are timed and you can't save your data unless you get the full version. Also, when the timer ends, you have to start all over. I can't get the full version because I don't have money. Really, this emulator is amazing. I have been looking for months trying to find an emulator that plays smoothly with no lags, and this is obviously the chosen one. But all I want you guys to do is update it and get rid of the timer and let us save because there are some people who can't pay but can't have the data they got far on erased. Mostly for us kids, because us kids don't have jobs. Hope you can fix that problem. Thanks.
After simply booting up pokemon black and seeing no loss in framerate at all (NDS4ndroid lags really hard) I decided to buy the full version , after thirty seconds, not minutes , I was sold.
Game won't start on demo I just want to see how it works before I download full version!! It gets stuck after I press the game
All its working great but I can't play, the controls just don't work,is like playing a video of a nds emulator, it's something I can do about it?
The savestates don't work if i tap it it says i have to buy the paid version i like the emulator a lot but it wont save so i cant play very well i can play games but i cant save them which is bad so i hope they fix this in the future but for now i will just have to wait..{:-( and it is still not working why does the savestates dont work
I cant play pokemon black 2 !! It automatically exits.. all i see is the loading but after it crashes.. pls. Tell me what to do..
i play pokemon ranger in the cracked full version apk its lag but in demo its very match the real time. But i play new nds mario bros and catz its bit lag... its fast in 2D game i think.... please fix for 3D game... i think i must buy it.... :( thank you
It's a great tried all the others they all just lagged but this one worked perfectly some minor audio issues and please let me save the game at least on the free version
I can't figure out how to even use this app...I'm sure it would be good but I honestly am lost in figuring out how to get to the games sooo yea.
I really love this app but you need the full version to save. I will try and get it! By the way this app is the best!
by Y####:
It doesn't save unless you have the full version. It doesn't allow cheat codes unless you have the full version. And everything else is only available in the full version. What else?
