          @thechefpi123 super mario 64 works great for NDS on my pi 3. Did you swap your card straight from your pi 2 to your pi 3? If so you may need to update the emulator.

              @thechefpi123 perhaps you have a bad rom? Is this the same exact rom you were using on your pi2?

                        @quicksilver, are you using the supplied BIOS file on your install, or an actual DS BIOS?

                          I kept the supplied bios while using my own, could that be a problem?

                            You might try switching them out for the real BIOS files to see, but definitely keep the defaults handy.

                              I got it working after finding a different copy of the file, I do however find the controls weird and ask how do you go back to the menu on drastic before we close this topic

                                I believe once you open up the on-screen menu initially, you have to exit out of it to get to the actual options.

                                    @thechefpi123 with a keyboard plugged in, launch a game and press the letter M. It’ll bring up the configuration menu and you can edit controls and more.

                                        This is also a great tutorial for setting up drastic and configuring the controls.
