I'm playing a homebrew game called Meteora. Love the game, but can only use save states, since it's not recognized as DLDI patched.
I tried a default (no system) patch, but it doesn't do anything, and when I tried an Acekard DLDI patch, it hangs to a black screen at launch. Is there a specific DLDI patch Drastic recognizes? If not, is there any way to get Drastic to skip the check to get save functionality in the game?
Thanks!
===========================================================
EDIT - I figured it out. Followed the instructions in the DLDI section here: drastic_readme.txt
Just wondering, I made the image 64MB, is that large enough? It's only creating internal saves there, right?
What DLDI patches does Drastic support (if any)?

DraStic emulates R4, so you need to DLDI patch R4. But, you also need to create a DLDI image which is unfortunately not exactly trivial unless you have a Linux machine lying around you can do it on, or a rooted Android device with the right tools. If you want to pursue the latter option there's a thread here that describes it:

There's a possibility of integrating patch creation into the emulator itself, I started work on that a while ago, but it was kind of a bigger thing than I thought it'd be.

This is a portable version of Linux you can use without having to install it onto your computer.
You can also find me on Reddit (u/Ericbazinga) and Discord (in the DraStic Discord server). You'll find me in those places almost daily and here almost never.
