            @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.
