There is a mod for the DSi/3DS called “Twilight Menu” and it allows DS games to use the DSi’s better clock speeds. Given that overclocking is a common feature for emulators, I was wondering if there were any DS emulators with this feature. I have seen discussions on other websites about this topic and how it would be possible but none of the emulators are listed as having an overclocking feature. All of the documentation and discussions about this seem to be at least a few years old and I know a lot can happen in a few years.
I looked for that core earlier and couldn’t find it, does that core have to downloaded separately? The only cores that appear for me are the MelonDS and DeSmuME cores.
That’s odd. Have you run the update core info files, assets, database, etc in the online update of RA? Are you running latest stable RA(1.19.1)?
I just updated the core info files but it’s still not listed. I’m using both of the versions available on the Google Play Store and they both say that they are version 1.9.12.
Ok, download the APK directly from the RA site, you’re significantly out of date on 1.9, and are missing features. Not sure why the play version are outdated so much tbh but issue for another day.
Ok, I’ve downloaded the newest version and the MelonDS DS core is listed but I’m having a new issue. As soon as RetroArch intercepts my controller, it stops excepting input from the touch screen which makes a lot of games unplayable. This was not an issue with the previous version I was using and I’m not seeing an option to change it back, any ideas on how to fix this?
Have you run all the updates under the online updater again?
Specifically controller profiles but preferably all of them, one at a time?
It’s probably an issue with a default remap profile.
As you’re wanting to use a controller with a touchscreen device at the same time, you may need to tinker.
What controller are you using specifically?
I did go through and update everything but the issue is still present. The controller I’m using is an 8BitDo SF30 Pro.
I’m currently checking every section of the settings because I couldn’t find the option in the inputs section and I have no idea where else it could be.
Well, on android you have two sections of settings unfortunately.
The cog in the bottom right, and also the core options menu that you need to load a rom and hit the menu shortcut, probably L+R+start+select together on your controller, or the space invader symbol on the touchscreen overlay.
You can then go to core options > screen > touch mode which should be auto.
If youre finding things aren’t as they should be, reset the app to fresh install settings using the inbuilt function or the android app (clear cache and data feature) under your app management and see if that solves the issue.
It may be a carry over from upgrading from such an old version, so a fresh start may serve you better.
I have cleared the cache and data from the app manager, re-updated everything in the online updater section and I have checked to make sure that the touch mode setting was set to auto but it’s still not working. I will continue checking every section unless you have something I can try.
