DraStic

Hi,

So i havn't used the app in a little while and i have never had any problems with it until i just tried to use it again. Every ROM i load fails to start. These are ROMs i have had no issues playing before.

I launch the ROM and i get the drastic loading screen then a quick white flash and it returns to the main page of the app as if i never loaded anything.

I have tried clearing cache and data and i have tried reinstalling the app. I have 10GB of free space. I have the app on my SD card but that is where it has always been. I used to have the ROMs in my local phone memory which worked fine. I have tried moving the ROMs onto my sd card but get the same result.

Im on version r2.4.0.1a and any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks

The app shouldn't really work from the SD-card, so try re-installing it to the internal memory.
Also, do you have the 'DraStic' folder on an external SD-card as well?
If so, try moving it to the internal memory.
If it's already in the internal memory, try renaming it temporarily, and restart the app, so it can create a new 'DraStic' folder. Then try to load any game.

Yeah, already tried it. Completely uninstalled and nuked any traces of it, re-installed and same issue =/

I don't understand whats going on, I tried the BETA version as that seems to be a common response on here but that is having the same issue. As I said, I havn't changed anything since it stopped working, I just haven't used it in awhile

Please check that "Don't keep activities" is not enabled in the Android developer settings. Some users with similar problems had it enabled.
If that's not it, is your device rooted, so you can get logcat output, or do you know how to do that from a PC?

Im not too sure where that setting is. My phone isn't rooted and i havnt done any debugging before soo not too sure on the process from a pc

The developer settings are in your device's settings, usually at the bottom above 'About device'.
They're not enabled by default, though, so if you don't know about them, chances are you don't have that option enabled.
Just want to rule it out as a possible cause.

If it's not that, can you check if there is a 'crash_dump.txt' inside the 'DraStic' folder on your internal memory, after you tried to open a game?
If there is one, please attach it here.
