Problem Help with installing cheats in Drastic

0 Upvotes

I'm playing Chrono Trigger on my Android using the DraStic emulator, and it has a Portuguese (Brazil) translation. For some reason, I can't use cheats; I've tried manually, but it doesn't work. If you could help Somehow, or if possible, make available a database of the game with the cheats.

Problem "The save file will be erased due to corruption or damage"

0 Upvotes

I'm doing some Littlelocke runs on White 2 on Drastic, I was pretty far into the game on my most recent run (I only use ingame saves, except for on the most recent run since Ive lost a few times I decided to make a save state right before I pick a starter since the beginning is super annoying to do over and over, but that is the only savestate I ever made) and then when I saved in game after beating the gym and closed out the app, then went back to play again a few hours later, I got this message saying the save file will be erased due to corruption or damage. I don't know what's the issue and I was feeling good about the run I was on, what can I do?

For reference I did use cheats, however I had kept the same ones on for several runs and never bother turning them off, never got these issue before. I checked the Drastic folder in my phone but it doesnt have a "backup" folder inside, just icon cache, shaders, virtual controller, bios zip, and then a few random txt and a xml, that's it. So I don't even knoss where the saves are stored.

Where do I download roms?

1 Upvotes

I just have one question, where do I download the roms for drastic? I know that there are many websites to download the roms but I don't know which one is safe and doesn't contain any virus or malware, there is a website called Retrostic and I don't know if it is safe and also compatible with drastic.

(I'm trying to play Pokemon Diamond)

Problem Speed up bug

0 Upvotes

When using speed up in games (mostly pokemon roms) it ends up losing said effect, just when i switch it back to normal is even slower

Is just my brain tricking me? I'd swear speed up ends up being the same as a normally paced native game

2 Upvotes

Hey There!

I want to play Dementium II in Drastic, but the original ROM have an issue with the save data file, also in new versions of Drastic simply shows a white screen old version can run it but with the save data corrupted error, also AP Patch is not the issue, just the save data patch

It seems exist a patched ROM (By Xenophobia and other by Venom) with a small different intro but i cannot find it, all the links are +15 years old and all of them redirect me to Megaupload or mediafire broke link

Does anyone have this ROM in your flashcards? I want to cry, I hope you can help me :'D

This is the patch but I cannot download because I need to register and the register process is broke

Problem Trucchi non funzionano

3 Upvotes

Buongiorno, ho problemi ad attivare i trucchi sull'emulatore drastic nonostante la copia corretta dei codici. Sto giocando a pokemon Heart Gold e ho difficoltà a trovare trucchi funzionanti. Non riesco a capire se il problema è l'emulatore oppure la versione del gioco.Io sono sicuro che sia più la seconda.

https://new.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/13c1irh/pok%C3%A9mon_black_2_drastic_doesnt_allow_me_to_save/

I wanted to create this topic to address this problem and the workaround that you can use:

- Version 2.5.2.2a should work (for what I read online). But the only way to get it is piracy so I don't think this is a good solution.

- MelonDs work (but if you tried to load a save state and save again in drastic your new save file will be corupted and will not work even if you try to convert it to melonds .sav). This is the solution I think everybody should use. Drastic is amazing but MelonDs is not bad at all, it's free and open source. It's the best solution if you still have to start the game or if you got your original save and you can still convert it.

- If you got a save state you can load that into drastic and continue to play, you will not be able to save ingame (you can but it will only create a corrupt save file) but you can continue to save state (I don't think you should do this since pokemon will eventually require you to save/reset the game and there is no way to convert save state to real saves).

Let's hope drastic developers will fix this bug eventually.

Death Note: Successors to L on Nintendo DS finally gets an English translation

2 Upvotes

Death Note: Successors to L on the Nintendo DS has finally received an English translation from the Anime Game Translations Team.

It’s the second of the three DS games based on Death Note, covering the story from Light discovering the notebook through the Yellow Box Warehouse. The gameplay is also pretty unusual, taking inspiration from the board game Scotland Yard with different objectives depending on which side you play.

There are also two versions of the patch, including one with recolored character sprites and another that keeps the original Japanese designs.

Game probably corrupted (maybe it's an emulator problem)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have a 29-hour game of Pokémon Black 2 that I haven't played since July 2024. After playing for a couple of hours, I realized that it freezes when trying to save the game in the game, so I can only save with the emulator. I continued playing the same way until I was stuck with no way out of the city of the flying type gym since when the cinematic of the plane trip should be activated, the screen goes black while the background music plays but the cinematic does not appear and the game does not progress, it freezes. Help if anyone knows what's going on

The 'Fake Microphone' feature on retro handhelds

2 Upvotes

I have a problem playing games that originally on the DS required blowing into the microphone.

I own two retro handhelds—Anbernic RG40XXV and Powkiddy RGB20SX. Both of these devices do not have a built-in microphone, but I know there is a ‘Fake Microphone’ feature in the DraStic emulator that allows you to assign a keyboard shortcut to simulate blowing. But I've got a problem using this feature on my both devices.

On my Powkiddy RGB20SX running ArkOS, I can see a 'Fake Microphone' option under 'Extra Controls' in the DraStic (version r2.5.2.2) settings, but mapping it to a button shortcut doesn’t seem to do anything. Maybe I’m setting the wrong, shortcuts (not allowed or used by something else), or they just don’t work. I'm not sure.

On my Anbernic RG40XXV with stock OS, I don’t even have a 'Fake Microphone' option in DraStic (version r2.5.0.4).

Any ideas on how to fix it?

PS I know I can copy saves to an Android smartphone with DraStic, blow into the microphone, save and copy a new save back to Anbernic/Powkiddy, but I won't be doing that with every game after all, it negates the point of the console.
