    I added NDS ROMs to my RetroPi, but the collection isn't being created and I can't add them to a custom collection.

      I just need some help with getting the collections working. The games are on the RetroPi, and I can view them in the files under /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nds. My RetroPie is also up to date so that shouldn't be the problem. I've also gone over the whole guide at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/ . Supposedly they are supposed to make their own collection when they are added, but there isn't any collection there. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.

        @Coldcoat did you install the NDS emulator drastic under "manage experimental packages"?

            @Coldcoat please add some more details about your system as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

            What hardware are you on and how did you install RetroPie? Please attach the relevant log from ~RetroPie-Setup/logs from when you tried to install Drastic.
