#drastic ds emulator

[thefoxlady]

I woke up to unfortunate news... DraStic DS Emulator is gone... I had memories playing DS Pokémon games on this... I uninstalled this on my phone because I wasn't really playing that much on it. Never thought this would happen.

Goodbye old friend...

This only works for nintendo ds games.I recommend you use this emulator there are also other emulators too for working another nintendo emulators like nintendo ds3 for citra emulator.For skin you need dowload from google or games you need dowload rom games for working.No lags too you can eve make codes here too

[xxninjacatboyxx]

got back into playing emulated games and can you believe DraStic got taken off the play store? end of an era. but i got MelonDS and it seems to be opensource and nice so it wasnt hard to make a switch. im still pissy over losing my My World, My Way game progress but what can you do. i could never figure out skins for DraStic but MelonDS's way of handling it is way more easier. i got some random skins that were made for Delta (apple equivalent of the DS emulator) and im honestly really darn pleased

havent set up the last one and dont think i will. i like hello kitty and all but im starting to tire of seeing her everywhere lol. if anyones got some cozy reccs for the ds do tell!

Hello. just out of curiosity, which one is better on an actual ds? the Melon DraStic RetroArch or the No$Gba?

I'd recommend the melon one! The No$Gba one applies a patch that fixes saving on that particular emulator iirc, but from what I've heard it can instead cause saving issues on other ones (so I'd also assume actual hardware too). The melon (etc) version just doesn't apply that additional patch.

I've used the melon version on my own ds a few times w no issue :]

Thinking back to the PMD au you have, if you want, I could make a little change to the sky rom so you can play as Emolga and have the partner be Popplio

Maybe even have a special Pikachu in beach cave so you can befriend them

Though, to play it, you'd need a DS emulator, do you have a good one? (I'd recommend Drastic if you're on phone)

thatd be rlly fun, i havent played a good rom hack since insurgance that i havent even finished (which those two are different ganres but i digress), and i need to get desume on my laptop anyway since i planned to play a couple of sonic games last summer but didnt get to it

I'm back, sorry for the inactivity, this time I made my custom background for the Hombretigre themed Drastic ds emulator

I ACCIDENTALLY MESSED UP THE FILES ON MY PHONE AND MY DRASTIC DS EMULATOR'S DIRECTORY WENT TO SHIT AND I CAN'T GO BACK

Someone help me pls

[beastomato]

very happy to have managed to move my DraStic save file to the pmd rom i can play on my actual nintendo 2ds :-]

i could make a tutorial on how to move emulator save files to 3ds hardware if people are interested, since i had to tweak some stuff on my nintendo's SD card for it to work. i could only find explanations from people trying to use legit DS cartridges but not rom files so i basically figured it out myself hahdjd

Started watching a Drakengard 1 longplay a couple of days ago (I do not trust my pc with emulating it; it already struggles with emulating sprite based DS games so y’know). Am currently somewhere in the middle of chapter 5 and I finally decided to look up Leonard’s backstory bc I heard part of it was straight up left out in the English localization and damn bro

I might just be a bit insane for saying this but I think he’s still my favorite character so far. Like the game does still heavily imply Leonard is just as fucked up as the rest of the party in the English version, it just does not outright state that he has paedophilic tendencies, so finding that out didn’t drastically change my opinions abt him if that makes any sense. I think that he’s deeply messed up like the rest but he's aware abt it and is also the only one with some semblance of justice and a moral compass is what makes him a good/interesting character. Like his constant inner turmoil and the fact that he at least so far seems to be the only one perturbed by witnessing The Horrors makes him intriguing

How I fell down the Emulator Pipeline (or Rabbit hole, whichever you prefer)

It all started with moving away and leaving 90% of my stuff behind. Two of these things included my 3ds and my copy of Personal Trainer Cooking.

I needed some recipes for a meal I was doing, and I didn't have that hardware handy and I had no idea where it could be, so I just installed an emulator on my computer and ran the program on my PC. I needed the recipe to be mobile, so I can read it in the kitchen, so I installed Drastic on my phone and went from there.

Once I did that, I figured, "Let's emulate some of the games I've wanted to play again on my phone."

I did that for a bit, worked out fine. I then remembered the Jontron video about Pokémon. Ya know, the one. Jontron downplayed the Moemon hack, basically calling the creator of it a pedo which is unfortunate because Moemon is just Gijinka. It is not a hentai mod or a loli mod. It's just the reverse of turning a human into an animal. I'm very pro anthropomorphism, it's basically my whole deal. I like that term more than furry, even though one is way easier to spell than the other, the former is way more inclusive and is not an implication of sexuality.

In any case, I installed that mod. Actually, I had to patch a specific version of fire red to do that, but I figured that out and ran the Moemon mod which included Mega evolutions even though it's a mod of a game that came out many years before that was a thing.

Then I saw that there were more Pokémon ROM hacks, like a ton more. So I installed them. Not all of them are good though, we got edge lord mods, unfinished or glitchy mods, mods requiring patches from original game files that don't exist online anymore, and mods in different languages. There's a demake community that use fire red as the base for making a version of the current Pokémon games in a much older engine.

Complete overhaul mods, adding in content in the newer games, creating unique and often interesting fakemon (some of which are technically canon but not official).

So I went crazy and started downloading ROM hacks for Pokémon. Then I thought, "Surely there are romhacks for other games?"

The answer to that was, "not really." There are translation mods and glitch mods, but there are not a lot of "Let's add a lot of genuine gameplay to this old game" that's done in the scene.

After I obtained several dozen romhacks for Pokémon games from Crystal to Black, I thought to myself "I can't play all of these back to back, half of these are just Emerald mods. I'll burn myself out at this rate." So I decided to pace myself by playing every other turn based RPG in between any given Pokémon Rom hack.

So I grabbed every game boy ROM in the RPG category and went to town.

I had another thought, though, "if my phone can emulate Game Boy games and DS games, maybe it can emulate psone games or even PSP games.

So I installed every RPG that came out for the PSP and PSone that I could think of and added those to the list of games I'd emulate.

I got tired of using the virtual game pad, so I bought an entire controller and paired it.

After a couple of years, I returned home and dug up my old hardware. Found out that the server of basically every game I played was dead, so in order to make use of my old game consoles and handhelds, I had to jailbreak all of them.

So I did, from Mcfreeboot to Godmod9 I jailbroke my devices and any services like community servers or a romhack gift shop opened itself up to me. I reformatted a handful of 64 Gigabyte SD cards and gave my devices the storage I would have only dreamed of back in the day.

But I was worried, what if my PS3 games are lost forever due to my console dying? What if I want to continue playing Little Big Planet 2 even after my PS3 dies?

So I bought a PC specifically optimized for emulation and I started emulating PS3 and PS2 and Psone games. I figured out how to convert, export, and import save files for all those devices and the PSP and now the save file my friend made for his play through of Digimon World in 2003 can now be played on my PCSX2 system in the current day.

My phone is tiring out on me. It can't handle streaming videos, handling various misc apps that I use on top of streaming videos, and me playing games on it all at the same time. Half the time my progress in a game is dropped because my phone can't process all of that.

So I bought an AYN Odin Pro, and now I emulate almost everything on this one device, and the rest I run on my Beelink.

None of my devices can emulate PS4 or Xbox Series S games, but I genuinely have no idea what's worth playing beyond that point because I don't buy first party games, so those new games come out on steam. Don't need emulation or a new console there now, do I?

Steam Deck is doing gang busters, and I feel like the future of gaming is handheld emulation devices playing games long abandoned by its original creators.

But what do I know? I'm totally indoctrinated by the seven seas of piracy. Now, if you don't mind me. I'm going to figure out whether I can turn a bricked PS4 into a Linux machine...

Drastic DS emulator removed from Google Play store No official press release, but if I was a betting man I'm guessing Nintendo is behind this. Submitted February 15, 2025 at 01:21PM by donwhite3 https://ift.tt/AK6DRki via /r/gaming
