DraStic

If it's not a problem with loading the rom to the RAM, the only thing I can think of is that the rom is a bad dump. Try to dump a new rom or find another one somewhere.

Try completely uncompressing the rom, or use the option in advanced to uncompress to file. I think the problem here is your device doesn't have enough RAM to load the rom to.

What file extension do your roms have? They should be ".nds". If they're compressed, try extraxting them from the archive. DraStic should be able to see compressed roms, but just in case try them uncompressed.

Did you make sure you're signed in to the same Google account on both devices?

So... what exactly needs to be addressed here?

DeSmuME is demanding and needs at least decent hardware to play at full speed, but it's the most accurate DS emulator out there. It's also open source, which is always nice.

If you have a flashcart or a save dongle, you could trade on a real DS (you might need 2 if you don't have someone else to trade with) then use a save converter to convert the save to .dsv which can be used with DraStic. Save dongles and flashcarts aren't very expensive, I think save dongles go for ...

The Citra 3DS emulator has made quite a bit of progress, some commercial titles are playable if you don't take speed into account. But DraStic is a completely different emulator that emulates NDS hardware, which is completely different from 3DS hardware and it will never support 3DS games.

This is a very interesting project. I'm thinking of contributing, however I'll probably have to stick to working on the Android UI, as I know a lot more Java than I do C++.

I'm moving this thread to Off the Wall; it's not really about DraStic, just DS games.
