FFIV: Game starts but screen remains black after intial flash.

(Drastic version is 2.5.0.3a on
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Rom checksums verified also)

Any ideas?

i.e. US, Europe, Japan, etc.

Also did you buy the app off Google Play?

You can also find me on Reddit (u/Ericbazinga) and Discord (in the DraStic Discord server). You'll find me in those places almost daily and here almost never.

The app is off Google play.

This is the European rom as it had a working match in the datomatic database. (I had the exact same results on both games with the US ones though).

Can you check that the file game_database.xml is intact in sdcard/DraStic? Something may have happened to it. Reinstalling DraStic may help.

Turns out the game database.xml file was completely missing. Uninstall/reinstall got both games running smoothly as far as I tell.

Thanks!
