Drastic doesn't load

Post by TrollerSarUssur » Tue Oct 29, 2013 10:57 am

When I go on DraStic and I load a game it stays on the loading page. I have the latest version of DraStic and have tried older pirated versions but it still stays on the loading screen. The ROMS were fine before until Pokemon Black glitched and wouldn't load so uninstalled and nothing works. What should I do to fix it?

Is it a zipped ROM? What could have happened is that you had a problem while it was unzipping a ROM and it's left with a bad unzipped file. Try removing the files in /sdcard/DraStic/unzip_cache and see if this helps, and/or try unzipping the ROM and running that instead.

Next version will have a size in the unzip_cache metadata file to prevent something like this from happening >_>

have you tried unzipped roms if you use zipped ones? also if your ram is big enuf, it seems that disabling unzip rom to file makes it much quicker to load.

are you trying to load from a savestate? if so, it prolly is corrupted. if not, are you sure youre using the latest from googleplay?

Start by not selecting to continue to see if the game loads when not from a savestate. You don't have to get rid of it, you can just save over it.
