ROMs do not appear!

Post by zainazam » Mon Feb 24, 2014 3:27 pm

I downloaded and finished Pokemon Black and had a flawless experience on the full version. (Apart from some of the cheats that didn't work).

But ever since then, no other downloaded ROMs have been showing up apart from that and professor Layton (which I had Downloaded along with Pokemon Black). I've tried to manually search for the new Roms but they aren't there anywhere. I've downloaded all sort of versions just to be sure with no luck. They're showing up on other emulators but I like drastic the most so want it it work on it!! Help please!!

DraStic only supports games in .zip or .nds format. If you have them packed in other archive formats (e.g. .7z or .rar), they won't show up.
You can install an app like ZArchiver or AndroZip to look for the files and extract the .nds file from them (which then should show up in DraStic).

add to that, is that corrupted roms may not appear on drastic.
