Drastic crashes apon startup
-
So I wanted to run ds games on drastic using retropie 4.4 on a raspberry pi 3 b. the game I’m trying to run is super mario 64 DS and when I run it it’s shows a black screen with a mouse cursor for a second then goes back to the rom selection screen. I heard that the rpi3 cannot run ds games however I didn’t think it was true considering that the rpi2 can run them and I also heard otherwise from tons of other sites...so what am I doing wrong?

Do any other games run?
-
@mediamogul if your talking ds, I haven't tried otherwise yes, I've tested mega drive, snes, nes, n64, and gba, I shall test another ds game now
-
@thechefpi123 super mario 64 works great for NDS on my pi 3. Did you swap your card straight from your pi 2 to your pi 3? If so you may need to update the emulator.
-
@quicksilver no this was an rpi3 I bought yesterday with a freshly formatted sd card along with the latest retropie image
-
@thechefpi123 perhaps you have a bad rom? Is this the same exact rom you were using on your pi2?
-
I never had a pi2, I had a rpi 1 model b+ but never a 2, I'll try another rom to see what happens....

What did you find?
-
about to test sonic rush, if it works I've retried the super mario 64 ds file onto the pi
EDIT: Sonic rush adventure worked, I'm not trying the alt. Mario 64 ds file... -
Update: Got super mario 64 DS booted only to have it black screen after the nintendo logo with no sound, the emulator didn't freeze or crash as I could move the stylus....any advice?
-
@quicksilver, are you using the supplied BIOS file on your install, or an actual DS BIOS?
-
I kept the supplied bios while using my own, could that be a problem?
-
You might try switching them out for the real BIOS files to see, but definitely keep the defaults handy.
-
I got it working after finding a different copy of the file, I do however find the controls weird and ask how do you go back to the menu on drastic before we close this topic
-
I believe once you open up the on-screen menu initially, you have to exit out of it to get to the actual options.
-
so how would I do that, I'm using a 360 controller....
EDIT: the information on https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Nintendo-DS displays no controls for drastic only desmume.... -
@thechefpi123 with a keyboard plugged in, launch a game and press the letter M. It’ll bring up the configuration menu and you can edit controls and more.

thanks, I think we are done here

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