DraStic (Nintendo DS emulator) OUT NOW for pi2/3!
-
I really can't believe how well this works on my pi3. Everything I've tested, works! I didn't even have to edit the drastic cfg file as the onboard gui works. Only gripe is the emulator hangs in the background for me sometimes, but I understand this is still beta. I'll totally following the progress of this.
-
I tested about 20 games on this and nearly all of them worked perfectly ! Instead of listing the games I tried, I'll list the ones that had problems.
GTA Chinatown Wars - Exited the Emulator when it said 'saving' (very beginning of game)
Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass - Exited the Emulator
Mystery Case Files Millionheir - Exited the Emulator when it asked to use the microphone to clean the badge (No microphone emulation ?) (yet) -
Maybe this is just for me, but run command no longer works. Upon launching any game, I get a black screen with a cursor. Only happened after installing Drastic. Also, stylus will not work anymore.

@lilbud said in DraStic (Nintendo DS emulator) coming to Pi 2/3 "very soon"!:
Maybe this is just for me
It's not just you. I believe it has to do with DraStic hanging on exit. You can continue to launch other DS games, but anything else requires the program be forced to shut down or a system restart.

I had the same issue and I reported it when I presented my Pull Request to add the script for DraStic.

I get an error when trying to install DraStic.
I'm using RetroPie version 4.1.11
I'm installing from binary, from the Experimental section.
It says "Unable to install binary for drastic"This is what it outputs to the log:

@cloudlink looks like a networking issue - make sure your RPI has a working internet connection and try again.

Does anyone get a black screen when pressing M for menus on pi3? Apparently myself amd someone else are having this problem. Coincidently we are both on a 4:3 monitor. Could this be the issue?
Also i couldnt find the .cfg file in the nds config folder. Instead there was a .cf2 file which was very plain when i opened it in notpad++. I was hoping to manually edit the .cfg file since i couldnt get in the UI pressing M. Can anyone point me to the correct location of the .cfg file?EDIT: Sorry I was a bit rude and didn't introduce myself with my first post. My apologies and great group. Thanks in advance
-
@BuZz Thank you BuZz. You were correct. It was a networking issue.

@mediamogul How about the stylus, are you having this issue as well

I haven't noticed an issue with the stylus. I've been playing 'WarioWare: Touched!' with an air mouse and it's a lot of fun. Also, I've mapped mouse movement to the left joystick of my controller for this emulator and it also seems to work decent enough in a pinch.

@mediamogul My stylus just stopped working, it moves, but clicking it has no effect

Try reinstalling DraStic.
For the other issue, you have to edit something in the DraStic GUI first to get the .cfg file to show up... -
I have never experienced that issue...
Don't sweat it.
When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.😎

@RetroPieNerd
Thank you. I've tried uninstall and reinstall but the cfg file is simply not there. only a drastic.cf2 file is in the config folder. weird. anyway you can share your .cfg file so I can add it to my folder? -
@RetroPieNerd It was working, but now all it does is move around
-
If you go to the options in the DraStic GUI and edit something then save, the config file will be created.
-
@RetroPieNerd This is the problem. I get a black screen when I go into the gui by pressing M.
No sound no picture. just a black screen. I can hit esc to get back to the game but cant see the gui.
Someone else with a 4:3 monitor said they have the same black screen when going into the gui. not sure if it has something to do with our 4:3 monitor or not -
not sure if it has something to do with our 4:3 monitor or not
I bet it does...well it's closed source so we don't know what it's really doing.
Anyways could you plug your RPi into a 16:9 monitor and press M for the menu and save for the config file?Or maybe someone else could post their config file to pastebin with default settings and the exact filename and location they found it in?

Just tested it with my old 4:3 TV (my main display is 16:9), same issue...
I guess it has to do with not having enough room to display the GUI on 4:3 monitors...
