What are users saying about Pretendo NDS Emulator

K70%
by K####:

I love this emulator. I can save my game within the game and then save it on the emulator, for double save power. The only thing I have a problem with is it will randomly delete my data with NO warning. Just 2 words about that: FIX IT!!!!!!!!!! Other than that, it's very good. Oh, and make it where it is not so slow. And for certain games, like Dinosaur King, Megaman Battle Network 5: Double Edition, and Code Lyoko: Get Ready to Virtualize, that would be greatly appreciated.

it ok and all but how can the ceats work some of them do. but the exp for pokemon Black version and the rest just does not work. is there a way that you guys can fix it. or i have to do something else can anoyone help me? but other than that it really amazing!

T70%
by T####:

The ads are fine but the speed throws it off. Changing the frame skip to 0 doesn't even help, and the sound is just horrible. I like listening to the sound while playing the game, and this sound is glitchy, laggy, and slow. Please fix the lag and you'll get more downloads and more 5 stars not just from me, but from a lot more people.

Now, I don't mind pop up ads, but I think it is disgusting that one of those pop up ads happens to be for A PORN WEBSITE!! I am sure you are fully aware that CHILDREN use this app. You just don't care, as long as it makes you money. I don't have children, but I assure you if I did, and they saw that ad, I would sue you without a second thought. There is no doubt in my mind that I would win. You are disgusting. You and your families should be ashamed of your existence. Burn in hell, you despicable creatures.

T70%
by T####:

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews. Sure the ads can be annoying, but there are only two ads that pop up and its when you launch it. Just click out of the ads and you can play your game ad free. Its a nice and smooth emulator that has great settings and supports cheat codes. This is the best free nds emulator you can find.

V70%

Im running this on a Samsung Galaxy S tablet, playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time. Runs smooth with a pinch of lag now and then or when autosaving (But that is to be expected). Sound is good. Im giving this five stars because for being free, it runs really well, the ads are not overbearing, and the catches to using the free version are reasonable. Other than speed fixes and optimization, and possibly a battery saving option (if possible) this is the best app ive seen so far! :)

T70%
by T####:

I'm fine with the ads, there aren't too many and they're easy to skip. It is terribly slow though, even when you turn the frame skips as many as it lets you. The sound lags as well. Just go to settings to put on sounds or change anything. Really good otherwise, just fix the lagginess

P70%
by P####:

the performance is acceptable, though it is kind of slow & can hardly play when sound is on.. but at least it should not force close itself..which leads to losing the current game play..& some games does not run properly when loaded using the "quick save/restore" or the "auto save/restore"

T70%
by T####:

Runs amazingly for the game I wanted. The advertisements aren't nearly as annoying as other reviews say. I've never had in ad while in game only in the settings menu so I definitely recommend this over other free emulators.

T70%
by T####:

I think its annoying. All I really did was scroll through a list of my old games and some of them weren't even there. I didn't get to play Mario even once. So boring bad game.

C70%
by C####:

i played pokemon and the only problem i see is u cannot even level up ur pokemon at all while u fight against the trainer or the wild? is becuz of the rom or the emulator am confuse but one of these stuff have to change cnt progress the game without leveling up lol no point of playing pokemon. i know many few of us that love pokemon would love to play it so just word of advice just alil update thats all. but other game beside this is good.

C70%
by C####:

Something seriously needs to be done about button placement or an option needs to be added to disable touchscreen. I've been trying to play Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon but I keep moving my units where I don't want to because of the touch screen and button placement. Its annoying and caused Frey to die. Otherwise its a fine emulator.

Why is it that every time I'm on this app, adds just appear and there's one add that never goes away. Please fix. This issue and I'll change my review because the app works but can't enjoy it

C70%
by C####:

I Tried playing Pokemon heart gold on this emulato it loaded and I started playing it .. But the game was running very slowly. At first I thought that it was a problem with the ROM so I tried playing an other ROM(Pokemon Black 2) .. But sadly the same problem occurs . And The Same Problem Kept occurring.... Please Fix This.

by F####:

How is anyone supposed to use this? The amount of ads is honestly ridiculous. After about 10 minutes I managed to load my game but then surprise surprise more ads and I couldn't do anything. Don't waste your time.

C70%
by C####:

Worked fine before the last update, now it just force closes when I try to load one of my games. Assuming I can get through the seemingly endless ads. I think I had to close around 8-10 ads before having it force close on me.

C70%
by C####:

Garbage. Ad app only. Not sure how you would ever play a game with all the ads popping up. I've seen porn sites with fewer pop-ups.

C70%
by C####:

The ads might be a slight annoyance, but considering the price is zero, and all it does is make the app take just 1-3 seconds longer to open your game, this is the nest app on my phone. 9.8/10

C70%
by C####:

I've only played one game with this app so far but it is working just fine, sound and all. The ads that pop up when I open the app are annoying, but don't interrupt my gameplay. Besides, it's free, of course there are ads!

U70%
by U####:

I could barely get past the ads before the one game I attempted to play crashed. I'm just going to forget that I ever downloaded this and just pay for Drastic. This particular emulator isn't worth its free price tag with all the ads it repeatedly shoves in your face.

C70%
by C####:

Not the worst emulator out there. Its actually pretty good for something free. I don't mind the ads much. This is just way too slow. Fix that and 5 stars. Sorry about the previous review. It was really a problem with the phone, not the app.

G70%
by G####:

Ad when you first open it game lags a little and it occasionally stops working so save often but others wise works like it should

C70%
by C####:

Emulation is so slow, even when maximum number of frames are skipped. There must be a way to get it to run faster, because it's even on the early ds games. Then there's the issue with the ad assault every time you try to load a rom, or just use the settings, which you do a lot when trying to tweak the speed of the emulator. Fix these issues please.

R70%
by R####:

I get to be free it needs to be add supported but come on. I was trying to adjust settings and an ad popped up. Tried to back out of settings and an ad popped up. I even had one that tried to say my phone had viruses.... Really...? Nobody falls for those ads even.... Thanks but no thanks.

E70%
by E####:

I load the app, fight my way through loads of adverts and then when i finally go to play a game, it crashes. I advise people not to get this one

C70%
by C####:

There are way too many ads although it does say the app is ad supported. Also there seems to be no way to use it since every thing I click makes an ad pop up

I mean it's good. To a very small point. It lags even with sound turned off. It's slow in general and ads ads and even more ads. Sorry but ugh...its a mess

E70%
by E####:

Locks up my phone/crashes, very slow, unnecessary ads. Better off buying a Nintendo DS than trying to find an emulator.

C70%
by C####:

Before this past upgrade I had 7 badges and 126 pokemon seen on pokemon pearl. Upgrade happened when my WiFi connected and wouldn't you know I lost EVERYTHING. solution...when software upgrades.. don't let it DESTROY saved progress.. I put a LOT of time into this and had to start over from scratch.. at least give us an option before an update telling people they will lose their progress prior -_-

M70%
by M####:

In Pokemon Black and White, the trainer can't level up any Pokémon. Although performance is almost peak, this really ruins the spirit of the game so please do something about it.

C70%
by C####:

A free app has to have ads, but on this one the ads actively interrupt gameplay. Just lost my game because when I tapped "save" an ad popped up, and when I closed the ad, the game closed too. UPDATE: It also drains battery at an alarming rate. Great app... >:(

Useless. Makes you go through a bunch of ads only to crash after trying to load a game.

C70%
by C####:

Very slow and it bombarded me with ads. Very poor quality as well. When will someone make a good FREE ds emulator?

C70%
by C####:

But it's the best running DS emulator I found... so it's worth it. Unless I find a better one, this is my Go to DS emulator.

C70%
by C####:

It is indeed fast. Probably the best (since it's free) but that very intrusive ad system that this has kills the experience entirely.

X70%
by X####:

You have to click through three different ads just to open the program, and in the end it doesn't run any better than the other ones up here. Go for something else instead of this.
