[QUOTE="Nix_Lon, post: 10374452, member: 518388"] From my experiences back in 2016-2017, I will admit that I never bought DraStic in my life so I went with the "pirated" method but the drawback of the "pre-cracked" .apk version is that accessing the settings menu crashes the app. The only way to fix this issue is by patching a clean DraStic .apk using LuckyPatcher (which requires root) to 100% bypass the DRM. Nowadays, this method is obsolete which I will mention later. [URL='https://www.drastic-ds.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8073']DraStic's latest major update (in my opinion) was from late 2019[/URL] aka. AArch64 and x64_64 support, the later updates onwards are related to compatibility fixes to Android 11+, tweaks, and minor fixes for specific games; DraStic still receives updates. And for the main topic in question and to the unfortunate users here who've bought DraStic just weeks / days before it went for free in the Play Store. The funny thing is that, unless you intended to support the DraStic team by purchasing DraStic or just bought DraStic because of their strict DRM (as I mentioned earlier where the pre-cracked .apk version broke some stuff), the app's DRM has been entirely removed during 2020 via r2.5.2.2, [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/sx1tzw/comment/hxxklz2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button']the devs officially confirmed the DRM removal during 2022[/URL] when the app was shortly delisted from the Play Store. I assumed that the DraStic devs have been planning to make the app for free in the future for their "DraStic going open-source" plan that they announced back in 2019, and the current yuzu situation made them remember that plan (or maybe not and did it as an excuse.)
