The Nintendo Ds problem

[boltio3]

@edmaul69 I would like to use Drastic but i haven't found it in the experimental and optional packages.
Do you know where it is?

@boltio3 Drastic in only available for the Raspberry Pi systems - if you're on the PC, then it's not available.

@mitu I see... Thanks.

I would like to install a DS emulator, I would prefer to use Drastic since I can install from binary and it shouldn't take as long to install as doing for from source only with lr-desmume.

My question is can I use retroarch cheats with drastic? Or do they have to be manually added depending on the game?

Thanks for any help

@mat drastic doesnt use retroarch.

@edmaul69 Does drastic use cheats though?

[edmaul69]

@mat personally i havent seen anything that implies it would.

[mitu]

@mat Seems to support cheats - see this forum post at the author's site.

@mitu I saw that in a google search, but it looked like instructions for windows, wasn't sure about Pi & I use a mac.

@mat The instructions look like Windows, but only because a windows program is used to prepare the cheats file. Drastic doesn't run on Windows.
