      I need to give this another airing to see if the new kernel has affected the screen tearing.

      Currently running:
      Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)
      ES-DE on a GMKtec K6 (Windows 11, 32GB RAM)

          Hey Everyone, I was able to calibrate my controller and resolve the issue (on my Vilros usb ps2 style controller).

          I ran into the same issue of when I tried to use the regular controls for my other games, but sadly it wouldn't work and all that i was able to move was the stylist on the bottom screen.

          How i got it to work:
          Go into your Nintendo Ds emulator, and start a game, press the analog button (until you see the red light on under the analog button). then a list of options pop up on the left side of the screen, select the "configure controller" option and viola!!

            @retroretr0 Since this topic was posted, the controls not working properly issue has been addressed. If you're using the latest RetroPie version, the issue is not present and the controls should work fine, including the controller configuration screen.

              For people who are using small lcd touchscreen, Touchscreen is also working without specific setup. Great emulator.

                        @blahblah If the controller works fine in other games, then can you add the log file from running the emulator (/dev/shm/runcommand.log), taken after exiting DraStic ?

                            @blahblah That doesn't look like an updated DraStic, did you update the package after updating RetroPie ?

                              @mitu Yes but I just uninstalled and reinstalled DraStic just now. Works. Thank you very much.

                                I've just come back to this and I have it all working as expected. Does anyone know how to map the directions to the d-pad AND the analogue stick at the same time?

                                    @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.
