They shut down the Drastic DS emulator on Android.

[Judier]

And they shut down the official page as well, since apparently it went offline. Anyone know what happened precisely? I still luckily have the app on my phone but damn, it's a shame that something like this happened.

No clue, but you can check the discussion here

Seems like we're waiting for the author to release the open source... Here's the GBA Temp article.

That's... not a real opinion. Come one you gotta understand why some people can't use the real stuff.

Not everyone grew up on the early 2000... Let alone has the pocket money to buy one from scalpers now days.

A pity that it left one of the most optimized Nintendo DS emulators for android that was available in the play store although it is possible to download on websites related to apps .apk although it is not the same as in the play store. but, well.

It was the sole reason I could experience Nintendo DS games (even on my 2014 smartphone!) due to a combination of lack of funds and a rather critical visual disability that doesn't allow me to play portable devices all that well.

What a sad day.

 

[Yousef]

Yeah saw the article on GBAtemp too.

Just ignore Karnik, and he'll eventually go away.

I think this project was stopped out of fear of Nintendo because this emulator was and is a thorn in Nintendo's side.

actually, death to real hardware. there will be no place for collecting physically after me and a group of my allies take over the new world order.

 

[Roy U. OmOm]

wow

I find this so sad, I'm sure the maker of drastic could have also made a 3DS emulator !

No, the dev said he finished the emulator development, made the app free, Google removed it from the store because of new policies (something about the developers needing to give their real identities)

HAHAHAHA, yeah, no. You think it is that easy to make an emulator?
