Hi all. So I bought Drastic after trying the demo, everything worked fine. I spent a good hour or so downloading roms and copying them onto the sd card one by one (as I'd heard copying multiple at a time can corrupt them). Most of them worked, some wouldn't get stuck on the loading screen, but I put that down to a dodgy rom. Happy that most of the games I wanted were playing fine I closed drastic and started doing other stuff with my phone (installed epsxe and copied some roms onto my sd card). After I'd done (30 mins later) I decided to play some nds games, however every single rom I'd installed onto drastic was no longer working. They all say "The file you tried to open is not a valid rom" even though it was working perfectly earlier.
I've just tried opening the roms on ndsvdroid but the app crashes whenever I select one of the roms to play.
No idea what to do, please help.

It sounds like they got corrupted somehow. Can you somehow compare file size with that of the original ROMs?

I'll have another look tonight, i'll download some more roms from that website that rhymes with bomb rustler, and see if they get corrupted again after I try to play them and compare file sizes. Seems wierd that they'd somehow get corrupted even when im not doing anything with them.
