one issue It won't play pokemon white version 2 anymore it will start loading then it stops and keeps reloading and repeats itself. Any ideas on how to get it to work???
September 9, 2015

Perfect But i do have 1 question is there online capabilities and or will there be any in an update
September 9, 2015

Hey it works! I haven't noticed any lag, the speed up feature works just like on a pc. I can save states or in game. Finally a working emulator for DS that works on mobile. Thanks
September 9, 2015

Solid app Occasionally freezes up but overall, it's a solid app. The sound is crisp, buttons are responsive, and the autosave function works well with no snag.
September 8, 2015

Can't open figure out where to get good Roms for it Ok I have a galaxy s5 and can't figure out where to get Roms for it I had it on my old phone and loved every minute of it worked great even though it was in Japanese but I can't get Roms know I've tried coolroms but they are taken down can anyone with the same phone as mine help me out
September 8, 2015

Could you possibly work on a 3ds emulator? This is a great format and well worth the money to play nDS games, it would be cool to see a 3ds emulator with the same style
September 8, 2015

Works excellently Brilliant emulator and well worth the money. But would be good if there was an update to allow 3ds games. If it already can, would someone please tell me how? I have downloaded 3ds games and it can't even find the file. The file is .exe and I can't find a version that isn't .exe. thanks guys keep up the good work.
September 8, 2015

It cool I mean I still love this app but when are you guys going to let us use Wi-Fi / multiplayer its been like 4 years since I bought this and yall still haven't got that together yet please tell me is coming out soon but I do recommend this to anyone love Nintendo DS and their games
September 7, 2017

The only 3ds apps are too difficult for people like me to run and play, I believe you guys can create the perfect 3ds app. if you charged me $20, I would pay for an app that runs like this app, pay and download the app, download the toms and play, no Bio baby, no cross play from other sites would be a dream. Please be righteous and give all what we want and need!😍😎😆

Screen Issue For some reason the screens like to swap at refresh rate when any graphics amps are on and the "keep main screen on top" option is on. Android 6.0.1 - Note5

September 7, 2015

Its easy nice one Its good amd easy to use good graphics and good sound the only thing i say would be better if you guys made it multiplayer
September 7, 2015

Awesome The only working NDS emulator here, GJ to those create it (　･ิω･ิ)
September 7, 2015

Wtf Why won't this work now? I want my money back
September 7, 2015

More games U can't play dsi Roms with the updates, the app crashes without allowing a load
September 7, 2015

Great I really wanted to play Pokémon platinum with a fast forward and I got that and soo much more.
September 6, 2016

Awesome Runs some pretty hard core games really smooth unlike any of the other apps I tried and idk how they add them but the built in cheats make playing the game with a few extras alot easier unlike the gba emulators I've used that require me to type a 20 character code. The only downside really is that the multiplayer/WiFi thing isn't working. If you could please get it working, that would help alot.
September 6, 2015

No longer plays my roms I can't say exactly what or why, but it no longer loads my pokemon roms or any other. It's up to date I even uninstalled and reinstalled. Help.
September 6, 2015

Solid I have the LG G4 and it works quite well, good on you developers.
September 6, 2015

Worth it If you play a range of DS ganes, it's well worth every dollar. Almost no frame drop or lag at all on my crappy Huawei phone - everything runs smoothly. Very well optimised, with a wide range of options. There is a small problem in that in portrait mode, it's difficult to select things on the edge of the touchscreen, so there could be an option added to shrink it slightly, though this shouldn't be a problem in most games. 9.8/10
September 5, 2016

The Only Emulator for You This emulator is by the best and most reliable emulator, here on the Play Store. Absolutely the best when it comes to optimization and control of how you want to play and experience DS games. If you are still wondering to yourself "Should I purchased this?", the answer is YES.
September 5, 2016

Runs Perfectly Prior to purchasing this I tried a few free DS emulators and all of them had such low frame rates that they were basically unplayable. This has none of those problems: the games run better than they used to on my DS!
September 5, 2015

Won't load game Just crashes now! Would be 5 star if worked
September 5, 2015

LOVE IT ALL It runs great on my LG L70 and my insignia flex tablet in fact the only thing missing is multiplayer but other then that its awesome you guys should do a gba emulator and a N64 emulator it would be great 5 stars for sure.
September 30, 2018

Awesome DS Emulator. I've thrown every DS rom out there (even the Japan-only games) and it played flawlessly. All but one, the game "Golden Sun: Dark Dawn" lags especially during the summoning scene. But ain't a big deal to me because everything happens for a reason, y'know.
September 3, 2016

Alot of problems Used to work very well. Recently it started crashing ALOT. It crashes everytime I save in ANY game. (So far including pokemon heartgold and Pokémon mystery dungeoun) it's very annoying. And also saves are deleting by themselves!
September 3, 2016

Love it but one problem Before I give it a 5 star, it is great the emulator but when I have more then 5 cheats on a game when add them as the game has not Cheat codes on it so I have to manually put them on. Please fix this glitch so I can rate 5 stars it is annoying to add them then they are deleted and the game crashes
September 3, 2015

Problem Every time i click on a game it sends me straight back to my home menu. I can't play any games! Please fix this for me.
September 3, 2015

Need help Please help me save my games to google drive. I followed the steps I saw online but it says "zero saves" even after I upload save state to my Google Drive. I am getting a new phone and spent way too long on pokemon black 2 to start all over again and might refund since it's been 6 days since purchase.
September 3, 2015

Hey OK everything is 👌 but its about time for multiplayer the one everyone is waiting for (maybe Bluetooth for local play and a server for online)but you gotta think how the other apps connect to the internet and bluetooth. BTW is there a twitter for this app because it would be a great way to inform beyond the FAQ.
September 3, 2015

Amazing! This is by far THE best ds emulater for Android it runs full speed rather than lagging so hard like the other ds emulaters do its definitely worth your money
September 29, 2016

Best emulator ever! Everything about this emulator is perfect. Zero lag. Easy access ability. The ONLY thkng I find wrong is, no fast forward for those boring pokemon tutorials. Still, there is nothing better on the app store more worth your money. If you have 7 dollars, BUY THIS. You will not regret it. Edit: FOUND FAST FORWARD MODE. 10/10
September 29, 2016

I have a big request I have had this app for a really long time now. The games play well, and it is amazing how these people had worked together to make an amazing app. Now, these creators have gone through long lengths to get this app running, but could the next issue be focused on multiplayer? I understand that over Wi-Fi, it is quite difficult. But how about through Bluetooth? I have seen many apps, including other emulators, that can be played using bluetooth. It would be amazing if we could play with each other wirelessly.
September 29, 2015

Great Absolutely brilliant! So much better than all the free ds emulators that I've tried. This one is fast, doesn't glitch or crash at all. (as far as I've experienced so far, at least) It is definitely worth the price you pay, if not much more! Only thing that sucks is that my saved games from the other emulators can't be used here, but that's not this app's fault. :-)
September 29, 2015

Best DS emulator on Android. This app is way faster than any other NDS emulator period...all the others are half assed rips of Drastic. It works with every rom I've tried and the cheat database is full of codes for the games too. Buy it.
September 28, 2016

Works half of the time When I first open the app and run the rom it works fine. I can play and everything works just great. As soon as I stop playing for a couple hours. If I go back and start playing again my screen are blown up triple the size they should be and the only way to get them to be correct is to restart my device. If someone can help me fix this problem I'll change my rating to a 5 for this app. Especially since I paid 5.99 for it!!
September 28, 2016

Fantastic app for games Honestly one of the best for mobile devices since most game music comes out smoothly and clearly. With the other emulators their is usually lag in audio and overall lag in game play as well sometimes. The app also even gives you a crap load of settings to go through like if you felt like cheating in a game you could easily access action replay or if you thought the layout looked odd and wanted to change it you could. Highly recommended if your looking to buy an emulator app for NDS etc.
September 28, 2015

Better Than a real DS! My only gripe is that the solid black background gets annoying, especially on LCD devices where it is lit up. I would love if you either made it look like a DS, or added the ability to set my own background.
September 28, 2015

Moga For some reason, there is no Moga support. I bought this expecting to be able to use my Moga Pocket. If there is a way to key map it, please let me know.
September 28, 2015

One problem Umm, I really liked this emulator, it's really good. But, today when I tried to play one of my games.. I realized that all my progress disappreared. My savestates are all gone, and it's not only one of my games, it's three of them. Can you please explain why this happened? Maybe it's not because of the emulator, because yesterday I organized all my games in folders with the .rar files and .nds files. Is it because I downloaded too many roms? I currently have downloaded 6 roms, 3 of which I lost all progress
September 27, 2017

Well worth the purchase. After trying other ds emus from the play store and having them suck hard with frame rate I was skeptical to make the purchase but glad I did. Does the job, and does it well. 5 stars
September 27, 2016

Could not have asked for a better DS emulator! Runs very smoothly with high performance, hardly any lags and absolutely no freezes at all. Lots of user control and customization options with the ability to customize options for each particular game. The developer really thought out the user experience for this one. Best $6 spent on an app by far.
September 26, 2018

This is without a doubt a good emulator...but... I ran into a really annoying bug. I played through a rom called Pokemon Storm Silver, went through a lot of hours playing it. Then all of a sudden the save file gets "corrupted" and just like that I wasted a lot of time and effort I can't get back. Please, if I could get this resolved that would be awesome
September 25, 2018

Never purchased an emulator before, but tried a free one and games were basically unplayable from how slow they are running. With DraStic every game I've tried has run smoothly and fast, it is well worth the money and you can change the interface and controls to make them not in the way. Try it, don't forget you can refund shortly after buying if it doesn't impress you enough so you have nothing to lose.
September 25, 2016

Best ds emulator I've found. No lag or buggy music, runs all my ds roms flawlessly. It's a bit pricey at $6 but u have to pay for quality, cause the free ds emulators are junk.
September 25, 2016

I surrender Ive been downloading this cracked app for awhile but it doesnt support the newer device... i congratulate you touché and drastic is the first actual game purchase i make... its not like i like it or anything b-baka. But in all seriousness this is the only nds emulator for android that runs well but the load is abit slow as in switching games. Also pokemon black 2 is abit laggy weird graphics. Other than that its worth the money if you like to emulate.
September 25, 2015

Figured it out I'm a newb modder I've turned my phone into a GBA psx now a Ds I wanted soul silver but its 100$+ on amazon that's bs plus a decent 3ds is 200$ this app for 5$ plus a ROM saves me 295$ thank you very much
September 24, 2016

Nintendo Emulator This is the best app u can get, in my opinion. It runs great, smooth, no problems at all, the controls are easy to use, no lag. There's a free app that u can use, but it's laggy, slow. This app is def worth payin for, I'd recommend it. I'm usin Samsung Galxy Grand Prime, and it works great!
September 24, 2016

Best Emulator For Android Honestly i really love this. It acts like a real ds. I used to have other emulators like Dsoid but it was sooo slow. But when i came across this at first i thought it was gonna be terrible. But i see that it was totally worth 6 dollars. Momma gonna get mad that 6 dollars was added to the bill but oh well¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ .The creator worked really hard and i appreciate for their time and creativity to make this emulator!
