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

Also did you buy the app off Google Play?

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!
