Hi.
I got a new tablet yesterday and installed the newest DraStic DS Emulator v2.1.4a, but no games are working.
After selecting a game in .nds format it closes without notification.
On my Samsung Galaxy S3 everythings works perfectly...

Tablet specs:
CPU: ARM Cortex-A8 1,5GHz
GPU: ARM Mali-400 MP
Resolution: 800 x 480 px
RAM: 512 DDR3
OS: Android 4.0.4 ICS

Thanks for any help :)

There should be enough, but you have to make sure to not have the option checked to unzip ROMs into memory. You can check how much memory you have available in settings->apps->running, I'm not sure what the safe minimum is but it's going to be at least several dozen MB.

In the FAQ it says:
Q: What are the minimum/recommended requirements to run DraStic?
A: You need an Android device with the following specifications:
RAM: At least 256MB on the device. Ideally over 128MB free.
I have about 185MB RAM free.
There is only the option "Enable unzip to file".

I think it's probably something else then. What's the actual device?

Sorry, I don't really know or have any ideas.. maybe when Lordus comes back (Saturday) he will know something or will be willing to work with you one on one to try to figure it out.
