Ratings and reviews

The app works great, for the most part. I am playing Pokémon on it. The main issue is that, even after saving in game and creating a savestate, everytime I close the app it won't let me continue, having to re upload the game file and start over from the beginning. If there's something I'm doing wrong I'd love to know. Again, great DS emulator, this one issue is the problem.

Unfortunately, I bought this app specifically to play Final Fantasy Tactics A2... There appears to be a bug going back YEARS which causes crashes when actions are taken. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, but the game crashes right back to the app's start screen. I lost just over an hour of progress the first time, made it back to where I was just to get the crash again in the same battle. I don't want to be forced to save the game after every click. Devs know and don't seem to care.

Having now used DraStic for almost 4 years, I can say that for an on-the-go emulator, it's perfect. I often find myself reaching for this rather than Desmume, simply because pf how convenient it is. It does have some minor flaws. There's some options that I wish it had, and sometimes the framerate can really chug-- But I don't think there's a better emulator for mobile. This handily let's me play some of the best pokemon games that have come out whenever I feel like it.
