Drastic config menu, cannot scroll
-
On the Raspberry Pi 4 Drastic has a nasty bug. The menue has one frame delay.
-
weirdly, the left joystick (I have two arcade joysticks and button sets, plus a SNES style iNNext controller) controls the stylus but won't move the menu cursor. Nothing does -- not on the keyboard, not on any of my 3 existing controllers (which all work as expected in Arcade and NES/SNES games). I'm stuck on "Change Options" and then "Frame skip type" when I hit enter.
-
I've had the same issue, just never made a thread about it.
I just stopped playing DS games for the time being.
I also have never tried retroarch cores for DS so I have no idea how well they work.
-
Then this is probably a bug. I guess that's why it's listed under "experimental" -- hopefully an update comes out that lets you actually navigate through the menu options in RetroPie.
-
I believe other updates have been released but for some reason, the RP team has confined it to the version we have currently, 2.04 I believe, despite being given the OK to use it.
-
@mat This is incorrect. See here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2843
This is the latest version available for raspberry pi.
-
Yeah, I have 2.5.0.4 with an rpi 3. I can operate the game itself in Drastic, just not the cursor in the menu. :(
-
I had 2.04 on the mind, but that is the one I was thinking of. I just forgot the 5.
You can see on the drastic messageboard newer releases.
-
I saw RP 4.6 was released and it lists Drastic 2.5.0.4 as compatible, isn't that the same version this thread discussed & honestly doesn't work well in Raspberry Pi 4 and setting up the controller using the keyboard?
-
@mat Drastic is a closed source emulator. No other/newer versions have been made available by the drastic devs. If you have issues with that you should take it up with them, though I dont think it will do any good. The main Drastic dev stated that he will make Drastic open source at some point this year but as far as I know that hasnt happened.
-
I see on the Drastic board there is a 2.5.2.0a, how come that can't be added to retropie since permission was given on the earlier release, wouldn't it work for 2.5.2.0a also?
Can someone ask or test it maybe?
-
@mat as I said earlier, it's a closed source emulator. This means we don't have access to the source files to build newer versions for raspberry pi. The drastic forums are all but dead so you are unlikely to get a response there, but feel free to try. If/when drastic goes open source then we might be able to build it for raspberry pi. But for now there isn't much we can do but wait.

@mat said in Drastic config menu, cannot scroll:
Forums seem active to me:
3-5 new topics a month is not an active forum. The last posts by xperia64 or exophase (drastic devs) were at least a month or two ago last I checked.

Hi all,
I made Drastic configuration file for XBox 360 controller. Dpad is used for configuring screens, left analog is direction, right analog is
for controlling NDS pen. R3 is pen click. RT is for exiting game.
If anyone is interested you can download it here :

Hi, Can you give some pointers on how you did it?
I would like to do the same for a ps4 controller.
I tried editing the config file but I can't figure out the bindings (number) of my controllers buttons. I checked the emulstation config file for the bindings but they're not the same?
