@saku00 Sadly, I don't think it is. The only emulator I know of that even supports the DS-i is melonDS, which even then is still a WIP and not available on RetroPie at the moment.

@popegg235 said in Can't find Drastic emulator for ds:

can anyone tell me what's the name of the drastic emulator in the retropie setup script and where i find it????

The name is drastic, it's in the experimental packages section.

@mitu OK, ffs this is finally working !!!!

Maybe it was cache when i uninstall/install without rebooting but now files are here and not empty.

games are launching too

Big thanks to the time you gave to me

@androidonpi The errors appears because you're running RetroPie from the desktop environment. As @dankcushions mentioned, this is not a supported configuration. On the Pi4, drastic will run by starting an X server first (as a few other ports already do), if you're already running in a desktop environment, that won't work.

@yseult said in Unsure how to install DraStic:

How to replicate the problem: Searched for DraStic in optional packages, main packages, and core packages (just to be sure), couldn't find it.

not sure enough - it's in "experimental" :)

you beat me to it :D

@mitu holy cow, it actually worked. Them guys are really quick, seeing how I installed the emu only last week.

Thanks :)

Are you running RetroPie/EmulationStation from a desktop session ?

@bio_hazard1282 The PS5 controller has a touchpad right? If so you should be able to use that to emulate the stylus.

@buzz Am aware, but i didnt know what the issue was. Thanks.

drastic is not a libretro core, so the file you added doesn't have any effect on the emulator. I see that drastic has a 'Screen orientation' option, but it doesn't seem to add any rotation - maybe works only on Android (?).

@mitu it worked thank you so much , you can delete this post now , thanks again best support ever ^_^

I am not familiar in any way with NDS emulation, sorry. I can work on a Pi on Tuesday to see where you can locate the config files. Do you have a SSH server running on your Pi?

Please add your system's details, as explained in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

A log file from the crash of the emulator - from /dev/shm/runcommand.log - would be helpful to diagnose the issue.

@Linkseo my config file won't work for you unless you're using the exact same controllers as I am. It's also been years since I last played around with settings in Drastic.
