Nintendo 3DS BIOS

doctorstork

git hub says I need bios that end in .bin [drastic_bios_arm7.bin and drastic_bios_arm9.bin]
I can only find bios that ends in .rom
Will those work

Don't worry about the BIOS, just play! DraStic has already those custom BIOS files pre-installed.

So far this is the BEST emulator I have seen. Only one problem. After playing a game I am stuck in the game..how do you get back to the main menu. Do you need a keyboard?

AlexMurphy

@doctorstork Yes. You need a keyboard with DraStic. Esc is used to exit the emulator and M is used to access the DraStic Menu used for configuring set up, controls, cheats etc. They keyboard can also be used to re-arrange the positioning of screens on the fly.

The RetroPie Docs need editing to avoid confusion, DraStic does NOT need any BIOS files. I've edited the Wiki but not the Docs.

AlexMurphy

@windale Yeah, good man. That seemed to be causing a bit of confusion. Herb updates the docs from time to time when the wiki is updated.

@windale well technically they are "needed" they just happen to come with the emulator, and they also happen to be different than the desmume bios (though I am not sure if the desmume bios will also work on Drastic)

windale

@herb_fargus Yes, but not as an extra thing that the user has to add, that's why I edited the Wiki. I don't know if the DraStic Bios is custom edited by Exophase for better compatibility (custom fixes).

It's custom, but it seems to have been a choice made by Exophase to make distribution easier. There's an interesting post with him discussing it here. It continues for two posts on the next page as well.
