DraStic (Nintendo DS emulator) OUT NOW for pi2/3!

[AlexMurphy]

@cbrowns620 DraStic was always flaky about saving specific game controls and settings for me. Some worked, others didn't. It's easy to re-map before playing. A pain but worth it. lr-desmume is awful. Avoid. Super Mario 64 DS runs at about 8-10fps on lr-desmume. and the audio is intermittent at best.

Hi guys, I still have Drastic installed on my Pi and it work really good with the games I play. I currently run RetroPie 4.1, if I update the setup script and all packages, will DraStic automatically be removed as it is no longer available in the RetroPie Setup script, or will it remain installed?
Thanks

@Evert it will remain installed.

@BuZz Thanke mate, that was a quick reply!

Exophase came back and responded, it looks like it can be included in Retropie and he explains his position.

@BuZz will DraStic be added back to the RetroPie Setup Script any time soon?

[AlexMurphy]

@celly It should already be. Exophase LOVES the Pi and its' users. Check the forum, He says he is going to provide support at some point, bur he is too busy living his life. Fair play to the dude.

@AlexMurphy thanks man, guess I just needed to update the script.

[AlexMurphy]

@celly Yeah. DraStic is brilliant. Have you tried lr-desmume on the Pi? It's great if you love 15-18 fps... Exophase did a great job. I just dislike closed-source projects. Pure jealousy.

It still looks like the Nintendo DS page doesn't list Drastic? https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Nintendo-DS

Hi, Retroboy here. Were you able to resolve issue of black screen when trying to get to config menu in drastic ds? I'm having the same identical problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

@retroboy69 Having the same problem !

[chinjw]

i am not sure if anyone having the same issue as i did...
i can exit Nintendo DS game... :(
I press select + start , it won't work...
anyone can show me the way to exit the DS game by controller/joystick....?
Thank in advanced...

@chinjw you need to be able to get into the drastic menu by pressing right on the right analog stick. If you get a black screen then you have the same problem as the rest of us. However if you do have the problem, if you could post your controllers config file on here i could make a working drastic config file for you as i had to edit mine manually.

[edmaul69]

@chalamannn read my last post. I could help you if you need me to.

[chinjw]

@edmaul69 hi, thanks for you prompt reply,
yup..i can enter the drastic menu... look like is the controller config problem...
i will post my controller setting file here by tomorrow...
by the way, can you tell me the folder path to get this setting file...? :p
much appreciated !!
