[TUTORIAL]How to add draStic ds emulator and configure it and add ROMS with RetroPie-Manager

@Altilla That's what usually happens when you have a custom es_systems.cfg in your ~/.emulationstation folder - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#es_systemscfg-edits. The install script updates the system's es_systems.cfg file, not your custom file.

@mitu ah yeah that makes sense, that very well could be the case. Then I will make a slight adjustment.

1.) i installed drastic and the NINTENDO DS didn't show up in the list after reboot.. no i did not do the following steps as it should have installed correctly on it's own as i have seen on youtube videos.

2.) why does one have to "upload" roms anywhere? why not put them into a folder like the roms i have done? i want to play the homebrew DS games I have made.. i don't want to upload them anywhere.

You're necro-ing a 3 year old post that is out of date. Please open a new topic with the information requested here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Also, who said anything about uploading ROMs?

@quicksilver says i need atleast 1 tag.. i just got here and i don't see anything on how or where to place TAGS to create a new post

@Ruffsta when you create your new post there is a little spot at the bottom to make your tags. A tag is just like a keyword that helps others find your post when they are searching similar keywords. For example you could use "drastic" and "NDS". No one is asking you to upload ROMs.

@quicksilver i don't see a box anywhere at the bottom anywhere.. i can move the the message field up and down.. but i see no box for tags..

Ruffsta

@quicksilver nevermind - had to close the "got it" black box at the bottom

@retroprogrammer How do you select "Exit: save for all games"?
