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.

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.

Horrible optimization, fps are really low, sound is unrecognizable, overall really bad performance even on powerful phones (so im not talking about old models, apple, or galaxy, where it would be even worse), it's also too full of ads that open in the exact moment you tap to close another one, forcing it to open and freezing/crashing the app.

This emulator is pretty solid when you get it to work. However, I'm emulating Pokémon SoulSilver and the framerate stays at a smooth 50 fps for about ten minutes a piece. But, there's a deadly bug that makes you freeze in place at the 40 minute mark. When it's not freezing in place, it's s black screen. It's very upsetting considering that this emulator actually works pretty well otherwise. I hope it gets fixed soon.

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.

Mar. S. Jul 19, 2016     

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.

Dav. T. D. Jul 3, 2015     

It's not worth your time if u out can get through the endless restart and ads it's not worth it I find even have it a full 2 days b4 the and there wasn't working when it'd fixed then I'll hive it 5 stars

Gou. S. Sep 11, 2015     

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"

I was trying to find a good DS emulato (to play Heart Gold). And this was probably the best one I found. It's FAR from perfect (it can get pretty laggy when there's 3d models on screen), but the graphics are rendered nice (inpressive for a phone app), and the controls handle well.

dar. s. May 19, 2016     

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

mac. q. Jul 5, 2015     

When you take away some of the ads. I will change it to 5 stars. The ads are absolutely ridiculous to have so many. I went through 12 ads before it let me even chose a game then it stopped working. As far as game play i like this app better than others. But all these ads are not necessary. Also uninstalling. I can't even get it to open a game now.

Cha. A. Mar 22, 2016     

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.

ian. f. Jan 13, 2017     

It's been recommended to me a few times, but it just lacks the software to run games like Phoenix Wright. If I get a better phone, I'll give it another go, but at the moment, these are my thoughts.

Jon. P. Aug 10, 2016     

It is defiantly faster than the currently highest rated emulator BUT the No. Of ads is unreasonable, but once u start playing the ads don't interfere. But the emulator has another problem, it can only play half of the ROMs i have, my other emulator can play all of them. It is faster but still lags, i have an octa-core 1.5Ghz processor and i did fiddle with the settings to squeeze all the performance out of it as i could.

Mic. D. Jul 2, 2015     

Before loading a game 8 ads played. It keep resetting the browser; causing more ads. The game ran too slow, opened the menu...oh look more ads! I actually gave up looking for a speed setting when the 5th ad appeared, just trying to scroll down. That's around 20 ads, or 5 minutes, with 30 seconds of game time. I won't even bother with this.

kar. Jul 12, 2015     

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

Jon. G. S. Nov 2, 2015     

This emulator crashes every few mins and i have it on a Note 4, Note 5, Galaxy Tab3, HTC 510 Desire, HTC One M7,LG G2 and a Slate 8. Pretty much any Android I have had in the last three years and it runs well when it runs but it still crashes constantly.

Joh. P. Jul 19, 2015     

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 -_-

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! :)

Vel. R. Jul 9, 2015     

This would be by far the worst emulator I've ever downloaded the graphics look like crappy pixel arts and its the slowest thing in the whole world. I'm deleting this right now. I would even give it a three star if you refused all the freaking lag

Jar. B. Feb 6, 2016     

It crashes way to often. Even when I fixed the settings it works for a few minutes then crashes and you loose everything.

Ame. L. Nov 25, 2016     

THERE IS NO GAME TO ACTUALLY PLAY! If you want to waste your time skipping adds and pressing words that's fine with me but I'm uninstalling this app. I don't know why it didn't work for me. Don't download this app it is crap. One of the worst apps ever!

A. G. u. Jul 11, 2017     

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.

Dan. W. Jul 25, 2016     

It works but it's load time is slow. It closes the game half of the time when I switch between apps and the ads are overwhelming. It takes 2 mins just to launch the game

Adn. H. Oct 10, 2016     

I Played pokemon xyz in it my heart was beating when I saw a comment which we could level up our pokemon I don't have a 3 D's so i played. It but in my first battle my starter (frogie) leveled up from 5 to 6

Jen. C. Jul 13, 2015     

Slow... Too many ads popping up when just trying to select ROMs or to adjust settings. Would rather pay than use this.
