Comments on DraStic DS Emulator for Android

★★★★★ This is a very fun emulator but why is there a multiplayer section if it can't be played in multiplayer
★★★★★ Absolutely phenomenal. Great performance when I'm playin, Actually has an option To adjust the amount of speed you can do on the speed-up feature And YOU CAN GENUINELY SAVE ON Pokémon! Seriously, this game is able to not only save properly. But it also has better performance than 90% of other emulators. (Also please add the feature similar to the emulator "My boy" where you can trade with other Pokémon games through the trade feature it has I REALLY want to evolve my Kaaba and Hunter)
★★★★★ Please make an emulator for 3ds. I hope it's as optimized and smooth as drastic too. Thank you 😊
★★★★★ This emulator is very cool especially it's the updated options has cheats assorted but some of them will crash the game Still I'm like a god.
★★☆☆☆ This emulator used to be perfect, but now they've made it so save files are saved in phone data, it makes it near impossible to export/import saves from old play through, backups or other emulators. Has made it mostly useless for me now, it's such a shame.
★★☆☆☆ I have been trying for 2 hours to use the microphone for Nintendogs, and it never seems to work unless I press one of the in game buttons that prompts the microphone to record if this ever gets fixed I'll change my review
★★☆☆☆ This emulater is good, and I never really had any problem with it until now. I was playing 'Pokémon black 2' and after finally beating the gym leader I continued on to my mission, while progressing to this mission my screen suddenly turns black for a long time, and it's not showing anything at all. I also accidentally pressed save and only had one save state, so now I need to restart all over again. I even evolve my Pokémon fully and obtained a shiny sand shrew in that account. I seriously give up.
