Ratings and reviews

Fantastic DS emulator. However, PLEEEEAAAASE fix the crashes with Final Fantasy Tactics A2! I'm stuck on a mission due to the game crashing everytime the enemy uses Devour. I've tried all the workarounds for it that I could find. Would be an easy 5 stars without this issue. After doing some more digging, this seems to be an issue going back years. Shame.

The best performance out of any DS emulator on any platform, that's for sure. But it's showing its age elsewhere, with open source projects now considerably ahead in terms of features and user experience, including wifi multiplayer support and per-game configuration files, both of which I find sorely missing in this app. Still, the performance is unmatched, so it's still the best option, especially for lower end devices.

Doesn't work on newer phones. The virtual controller is designed for 16:9 screens, but the visuals for the virtual controller are always locked to the bottom of the screen, so whenever I try to press a button, it always thinks I'm either not pressing a button or that I'm pressing the wrong button. No matter how much I mess with the settings, it is always like this.

What's new
