Here with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Drastic, all games run without issue. I am running the latest version of RetroPie, 4.8.9. If you can update your system.

@ExarKunIv got it!, i allready thougt that lr-melonds has to be in the extra-repo as i did not find it in the reular core-sections ;)
I just printed out your installation-tutorial here in the office and will start again in the evening ;)

thx for advise!

@maxmoon I don't exactly know anymore, because I no longer use the pi as a home center.

But I had to use Drastic, because it's the only available one that supports multiple monitors.

It then had some option in its menus, but I don't know the exact one anymore.

I only remember that you had to boot a game with it and then press some shortcut to get into the menu of it.

Are you going to submit a pull request for this?

@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.

@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

I mean they work in a sense that retroarch loads them up and recognises them but there is the tradeoff that lr-desume & lr-desume2015 do appear to have slower frame rates, brief freezes at loading points and audio drop outs.

Whereas drastic is miles more stable and a higher compatibility, but won't have the libretro bells and whistles like achievements or overlays.

Honestly if achievements are a deal breaker for you I'd play on a more powerful setup. Or wait until the lr core of drastic is released, whenever that will be (I think the Dev's own forum said sometime 2020 but, you know, 2020 things)

@simpleethat if you install raspbian(pixel) on pi4 in retropie setup, then configure on desktop then when your done just play in retropie, I play from desktop for now cos my kids use some cheats.
Use keyboard to exit since or add your menu and press twice, but be careful not to enter a menu and get stuck, it happen to me and I reset my settings, hehe.

Good luck

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.

Yes I have a pi 4. I did manage to make some changes to the settings it was a challenge lol. I can change the internal Drastic views on a horizontal screen. But I want the whole screen rotated 90 degrees(vertical) so when I stack the screen top/bottom it uses up most of the viewing area. Here's what I would like to achieve on Drastic. This is what my lr-desmume looks like.

@tobas i think desmume is LLE while drastic is HLE (http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/High/Low_level_emulation)

@Crimsøn64 Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Provide more details and a log after launching game.

Update good news

Yes its still in progress, its decided that the open source fork will be a Retroarch core so that users on multiple systems and not just phones can play it. Wed Jan 13, 2021 4:20 am

This is awesome !!

@tackskull

Move out to the root menu, then to 'Input'. From there, you should see the player one input map menu selection.

@quicksilver I ran through that after I couldn't get it to work the first time thanks though

@vahnxdean said in Nintendo DS - fast foward not working:

Is there a way to enable it on retropie

Desmume (standalone emulator) is not available in RetroPie, only lr-desmume (the RetroArch core).
