Questions regarding Drastic

Post by zealvix » Fri Dec 25, 2015 4:15 pm

Hi, was considering purchasing drastic but have some questions 1st.

1. Are ingame save files compatible between Drastic, Desmune and R4(such as this http://r4i-sdhc.com) device?
If yes how complicated are the steps? anyone free to share this?

2. 1. Are save states compatible between Drastic, Desmune and R4(such as this http://r4i-sdhc.com) device?
If yes how complicated are the steps? anyone free to share this?


3. If I purchased Drastic, am i limited the number of devices I can use it on?
e.g. I have a phone + a tablet, plus maybe more devices in future.


4. Is there native support for x86?
My phone is a zenfone2 with an intel chipset, same goes for my tablet (with an intel atom baytrail).

Yes for DeSmuME, or at least they're supposed to be but there's always a risk that new versions of DeSmuME break this somehow. It should be possible to copy the .dsv files directly.

Not sure about R4. If it doesn't work directly this website can help: http://shunyweb.info/convert.php As can exporting .sav in DeSmuME.

Sorry but no, they're completely incompatible. They're very different formats. Does the old base R4 even support savestates?

Most DS games are pretty liberal with in-game saves so this is hopefully not too much of an issue.

You can use it on an unlimited number of Android devices so long as they're all using the same Google Play account you purchased it with.

Yes, but it's less optimized for x86 devices than ARM ones. Especially the 3D rendering. So for now it'll probably work okay in normal mode but not work very well with high resolution enhancement (which is very demanding anyway).

I recommend testing performance with the demo.

Check if you have 'Do not keep activities' enabled in the Android developer settings - it needs to be disabled.
