So I started playing Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 on Drastic yesterday and I am having trouble with the game crashing. It seems to happen after every post major/story battle cutscene and only on Drastic which is the emulator I'd like to stick with because melonDS is not running this game well despite not having the crash issue. I saw somewhere that this might be related to AP stuff so I patched my ROM with nds-scene tool but the problem persists. I still used the not-patched ROM savefile to test though, so I'm not sure if I should try to find a way to check if the savefile is corrupted (is that even possible?) or if I should start from zero and play until the part where the first crash happened to see if the patch worked. Did someone had a similar problem?

Unfortunately drastic does this with some games, there is sadly no way to fix it. I can only suggest using a different emulator if you have no way of playing it on an actual ds.

I see, I didn't manage to find any other emulator to play it decently. At least I managed to buy a 3ds some weeks ago, it should be arriving this week, I hope I can play it with backwards compatibility.

You can download it on your 3ds and play it using twilight menu if that interests you although you'll have to mod the 3ds first which is very easy and highly recommended.

You gotta get "hshop", its basically an appstore that downloads roms over the Internet instead of putting roms onto the sd card and downloading them through fbi. Although you probably already know that.

If I remember correctly it also come with said shop, so I think I'm ok. Can't wait to have it in my hands.
