Emulation Emulator DrasticDS Emulator - Switch Port

[Deleted member 761927]

Does DrasticDS for Nintendo Switch have WFC support? Cause I have WFC support on my custom melonDS Nintendo Switch port but unfortunately, I can't share it online as it's illegal to redistribute so just curious

Didn't know you could go online on a ds emulator without messing up your internet connections security.

1.0.5 available : https://github.com/NaGaa95/DrasticDS_nx/releases/tag/1.0.5

• Updated the Switch Vulkan driver to Mesa 26.1.5 NVK.
• Added portrait/tate mode under Settings → Launcher → Portrait launcher.
• Added the original Drastic-style Custom Clock feature.
• Fixed Dementium II getting stuck on a white screen with the latest Drastic core.
• Corrected the AUXSPICNT busy-bit regression introduced by the newer core.
• Fixed .zip games crashing or failing to start.

Thank you, zipped games seem to work great now! For the launcher portrait mode option, can you make it like the game rotation setting where you choose between 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees? The only portrait mode for the launcher is the wrong way for my grip

@Nagaa Love to see a vita3K port and some update to retroarch to include the latest Vulkan.

Great work

The current direction is reversed. We need to flip the shell/button layout so the Switch volume buttons don't get pushed into the case. Please also add a 270-degree rotation option.

Pressing Right Shoulder + Left Shoulder + A buttons causes the game to reset.
That's easy to press, say on Mario KartDS

can we fix this.

I think on the DS if you presses all the buttons it would reset the console

You can just remap this option to something else in the launcher

Will be added in the next release

Awesome work not zip files work correctly and im loving the HD 3d graphics options. I can definitely delete MelonDS now. Thanks for the awesome work!

I just noticed that the right stick cursor for the touch screen controller controls doesn't follow the screen rotation setting when changed from 0 (it always moves as if the Switch is in its default orientation)

Edit: Thinking about it a bit more, if possible, there should be an independent setting for the right stick orientation, that way it can also accommodate games that expected the handheld to be physically rotated

Could the option found in other NDS emulators to remove the "jelly effect" be added? Please. Perspective correction in 3D graphics or vertex precision.

Hello everyone, and especially @Nagaa , is there any possibility of porting Ikamen Go from Android to Switch?

I tested it out and confirmed the console sleep bug is fixed! In my opinion, this version surpasses the melonDS port now. Huge thanks for your hard work!

@Nagaa, if you don't mind me asking, would a port of JoiPlay (an Android app that runs RPG Maker XP, VX, and VX Ace games) ever be possible on the Switch?

Maybe in the future i'll look at it, for now i'm working on Dolphin that should be released very soon, and after that RPCS3 if everything goes well

nice. thanks. excited to see the future project.

Hats off to Nagaa! Truly one of the greatest contributors to the Switch homebrew scene. Much respect!

Hi, does anyone know how to set up "custom shaders"? I added the ones I had on Android, but it only detects the LCD ones (which are the best ones, in my opinion)— but I wanted to see what the others look like.

Check https://github.com/NaGaa95/DrasticDS_nx#custom-shaders

You will need to convert them to be able to use them with Vulkan backend with this python script : https://github.com/NaGaa95/DrasticDS_nx/blob/main/tools/compile_custom_shader.py
