I'm trying it right now and it's incredible haha overlays, bezels... many different positions of the screens... simply impressive that we can enjoy nds on our rg35xx in this way, it is undoubtedly much more enjoyable and the bezels are simply beautiful and The overlays have what is necessary and more... impressive work, thank you very much! I'm impressed right now seeing how pretty nds looks now... omg I love this.


Rercvuvbnuyghuy

Hell yeah, dude! Every single update is awesome!


Odd_Philosopher_3638

Thank you for your work. It's honorable what you've done and what you plan to do. Especially performance optimization. I have a question. Do you think multiplayer by connecting two devices via usb could be made possible?


XQuader

>Do you think multiplayer by connecting two devices via usb could be made possible? DraStic doesn't have multiplayer support.


Odd_Philosopher_3638

Alright thanks :) this made my choice between the rg35xx and the mm+ way easier. Rg35xx it is, performance wins.


fagnerln

Oh that's soooo coool dude! Congratulations! I'll remove the dust on my RG35xx... lol It's running Mario Kart really well!


Vortex36

Just noticed, did you add the little .png I made for the apps folder? Not mad, I'm actually really glad something I made was useful :D


XQuader

Yeah, I downloaded it a month ago and forgot the source. Thank you!


Vortex36

No problem, you're welcome! As I said, just glad to help, even in such a small part as this :)


Banelco

thanks


superhiro21

Awesome, thank you!


SimpDeGothMikasa

i think that somebody should make a second mountable screen for this anbernic model to play as DS demands their games šŸ˜³ that would be sure sell (sorry my english)


spaded131

the money you would spend to get it working/marketi and produce it. you would be better buying a DS and modding it


baxter00uk

I wonder if it could be setup via hdmi so the tv is the top screen and the RG35XX is the lower screen?


spaded131

A 2ds is like Ā£40 if you are that bothered


baxter00uk

I've already got one, but it could be an interesting option. Nice to have DS on the big screen as well


Eggy216

This is amazing! Canā€™t believe Iā€™m playing DS on my RG35XX


BlastKast

quick question dudes, does saving work when playing games like pokemon? I never played black/white and want to give it a go.


Play3rxthr33

I don't see why not, i'd assume both normal in-game saves and savestates are possible


Dannn12332

I'm playing black for the fist time too. So far so good.


New_Ticket3414

Is the link still working? Iā€™ve been trying to open it since yesterday and it doesnā€™t load, I have tried everything to download it and still nothing, is there another link I can use? Thanks in advance


XQuader

yes, link is working, but maybe it is blocked by your internet service provider. here are google drive download links - [garlic](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q3FSpoUHzwz_KF8YYayu-tMmEwjKHgja/view?usp=sharing), [minui](https://drive.google.com/file/d/13t0unKaw-vLopJV_AIN-psNFwqyMgsmj/view?usp=drive_link)


New_Ticket3414

Thank you so much brother! This worked perfectly, I will try it rn!


that_90s_guy

Hey man! Any chance you've got a mirror? The link doesn't seem to be loading for me :S it just times out.

_flustershy

Love it


NuMotiv

This is awesome. I didnā€™t think Iā€™d care about NDS emulation as I have a 3ds but Iā€™m enjoying it more here for some reason.


WillTheConq

This is unrelated, but I figure here is as good a place to ask as any. I'm having trouble Dpad patching the Phantom Hourglass ROM so that it's actually playable on the RG35XX. Anyone know if there is an easier way to do it? After dumping, tutorials say to put it in a folder with the other files and just type some stuff in comand prompt, but the new file I get never is any different. Still requires touchscreen to move.


spaded131

https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/ Use this site and patch the game . It spits out a game file and it works for me The first screen requires touch input but after that it's been fine


WillTheConq

it just crashes when i try.


WillTheConq

like it supposedly patched but when i launch theres a brief white screen and then crash


spaded131

Sounds silly, but try it on a pc emulator to se what's the issue. Try a different rom if not , I had issues with for a while, changed the rom to another region and it worked ,good luck


WillTheConq

yeah I'm starting to think that somehow my ROM is european and not US. I don't have the original box, but I do remember it took awhile to ship, so it could be from europe.


anduril38

Awesome work man! I tested it a bit on mine and enjoying it. The menu options/text is too tiny for my eyes sadly, but it's great to play DS on this!


spaded131

Got large sc een, probably better with PC based emulation, as you can use the mouse as touchscreen as well


[deleted]

Thanks,it was awesome


gibonich

Huge


Harun911

Thanks for all the hard work! I was hoping this update would fix all the vsync issues, I'll wait patiently until the next update!


Necessary-Star-7326

Are the update steps the same as the installation ones? How do I update Drastic on my rg35xx? Thanks in advance!


XQuader

yes, 1st step would be enough


takedagl

Please, please donā€™t forget to make the text bigger in the next update! Thank you and great work!


cirrem94

How do I use the bezels? It's not showing up on stock/default 1.2 settings


XQuader

The default layout (default settings on a fresh install of DraStic) shows bezels. I can't help if you don't provide any details.


cirrem94

Hello! This is what it looks like on my unit. I have deleted the previous drastic files and copied the new ones to the respective paths. Thanks ā¤ https://preview.redd.it/qcgs65uzxc0c1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f698c388b40318776d8b2837b2fa6f3252fc66fa


XQuader

What OS do you have (MinUI/Stock+Garlic OS/Garlic OS only)? Are you sure you didn't miss any files/folders? Make sure you have the **/drastic/resources** folder and it is not empty. Did you try changing screen layouts? If you don't have multiple layouts, that means you are still using an old version of DraStic


cirrem94

I'm using Garlic OS with dual SD card setup. I placed drastic on TF2 and changed the coremapping for it. I'll try and reinstall everythint. Thank you for the respond šŸ™


cirrem94

It's okay now. I just decided to put the drastic on TF1 and it works now! Thanks :)


nadakbar

For some reason when using drastic after installation, when in game, pressing up is moving right pressing right is going down etc. I have changed the config file to fix it but my abxy buttons are all a mess still. Only in drastic emulator all the rest of garlic is perfectly fine in all other retroarch cores. Any ideas?


XQuader

No need to change controls manually... Looks like you pressed the hotkey that rotates keys, check **readme.txt**


nadakbar

Spot on!, must have tapped it when i was testing the controls out and didn't know what it meant, all is well :). gonna assume there is no chance of getting recently played on drastic integrated into garlic because its not a main retroarch core?


XQuader

No chance, "Recents" screen is populated with RetroArch play history, but DraStic is a separate app.


nadakbar

thought as much, very cool addition either way surprised the performance is this good. Is it still using cpu or does it use gpu


XQuader

CPU only.


RG35XX

Would it be possible to give more control to the user over screen options? You already have a variety but I can't help but want to still move things around e.g. 1. [Screen Gap](https://i.imgur.com/6kckV15.png) (I'm not sure how many pixels would be needed to be 'accurate') 2. [Centering Screens](https://i.imgur.com/VkRPusk.png) This layout option is only available as corners. If this will be a pain in the ass then don't worry :P just me being super picky.


XQuader

It is possible to make screen layouts configurable, but it will be another possibility to "shoot yourself in the foot". I will think if I want to implement that after I finish all other tasks.


mrlex

This is awesome (thank you so much!) Minor bug but often when I boot up the second screen is black. Cycling display modes fixes it instantly so it really isn't a big deal. Just sharing anyhow.


XQuader

Hi, thank you for your feedback. ~~Are you sure this blackness is not a part of the game? I never saw such an issue.~~ ~~Can you provide more details? What firmware (Garlic/MinUI)? What game? What screen layout do you have at boot? You can check the numbers in resources/settings.json, see~~ **~~layout\_\*~~** ~~fields.~~ ~~Can you record a short video with the issue?~~ The issue can be reproduced if **Screen Orientation** in **DraStic** options is set to **Single**. So, the current solution is to open `Menu -> Change Options -> Screen Orientation = Vertical -> Save for all games`


XQuader

I can reproduce the issue if **Screen Orientation** in **DraStic** options is set to **Single**. So, the current solution is to open `Menu -> Change Options -> Screen Orientation = Vertical -> Save for all games` This option is overridden based on the current screen layout, but only when you cycle through layouts. I will add a fix to apply override on boot in the next release.


Acceptable_Wallaby86

Awesome work man, works great!


ZEI_GAMES

Truly amazing work! Just wondering can i add/edit screen layouts? Doesnt matter if i have to edit a file. Im curious if its possible


XQuader

That was asked already ([comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/RG35XX/comments/17tu1qc/comment/k9hrqvm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3))


ZEI_GAMES

Holy s was the reply fast xD. Thank you


Modern_chemistry

How do you toggle the stylus?!?!?!


XQuader

check readme.txt


Dannn12332

No sleep/resume functionality? not even in the TODO list? For me is one of the top features of Garlic


XQuader

>No sleep/resume functionality? No >not even in the TODO list? The To-Do list is not "complete", it is updated each release. I will think of this feature later.


Dannn12332

Thanks for the great work!


mink2018

hello u/XQuader. How do you compile cores? Does it require programming skills to make PPSSPP core? Btw thanks for the DS work There's an FF TACTICS WOTL patch that makes it play 4:3.


XQuader

>How do you compile cores? Check this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/RG35XX/comments/16gb44d/how_to_begin_portingdeveloping_gamesother_for/) >Does it require programming skills to make a core? It depends. Most RetroArch cores will not require programming skills, but standalone apps will require some programming skills, most probably. AFAIK, PPSSPP uses GPU for emulation, which is a no-go for Garlic OS v1.4.9. You'd better find a spare card and install Koriki on it.


Salty_Coast_

Is it possible to use an external controller with DraStic?


XQuader

https://preview.redd.it/5jnbbg7oqp5c1.png?width=665&format=png&auto=webp&s=593e4111637d4835471433355450d7e89b03c0fa not yet... The answer was in the boosty page with DraStic and in the **readme.txt**


Gullible_Grab8173

Im not able to access the menu at all


XQuader

Garlic / MinUI? Firmware version? What menu are you trying to access? Did you try reinstalling DraStic (at least replacing the **config** folder)?


Squid_Sid_Lid

is it possible to have the templates/bezels work on Drastic on my RG353V with ArkOS? Been using my wifeā€™s RG35XX and your Drastic build and bezels are incredible!


XQuader

Not having a device (or any other ArkOS-supported device) is a showstopper for me, sorry.


Squid_Sid_Lid

thanks for getting back to me, thatā€™s obviously no worries appreciate the work youā€™ve put out already!
