      My setup is:
      Raspberry Pi 3 running RetroPie (desktop later added), along with GameWizard.
      Official Touchscreen
      Power Supply: 1A for screen, 2.5A for Pi.
      USB keyboard

      I recently got RetroPie with GameWizard on my Raspberry Pi 3, and installed some N64 ROMs (Super Mario World 64, Madden 2002, etc.). These ROMs worked fine, so I thought I would try NDS games. The touchscreen did not work with the ls-desmume emulator, so I installed DraStic emulator. The touchscreen then worked (not very accurate though) and the games played fine. I also added some NDS BIOS, though I don't remember where from. (Nintendo website, maybe?) However, after using DraStic for a while, I tried N64 games again, but all it would show was the icon/image that is shown in the game list, then after about 5 seconds it would go back to the ROMs list. I tried deleting DraStic to see if that was the problem, nothing changed with N64. I then tried to update from the RetroPie setup. I did a full update. When I rebooted, it promptly deleted my N64 games, along with all my progress. My NDS games were still there.
      I am wondering what may have happened, and what I can do to avoid this in the future?
      Thanks!
