    @quicksilver I guess not, but I will need to host it myself unless there is an official place to download it. Do you know where this build came from ? Is there a place to get the latest version as the link we use from their site still has the older version.

      @BuZz all good questions. I just saw this on Reddit and then reported here. I'll see what I can find out.

        @BuZz so I spoke with the head of the retroarena team via discord and he stated they host the binary themselves. That they have a relationship with one of the drastic devs and apparently he put together a build for them to use specifically with the boards they support. It just so happens it also works on raspberry pi. He stated he is fine with retropie pulling from them if you are comfortable with that, they would just need to know via their discord channel or a GitHub pull request.

        Some of this is a little above my head so I'm just reporting back what he said to me.

          @quicksilver so im curious if the fix also will allow us to use microphones as i have one hooked up to my pi now just for this very reason hoping to try to get it working.

            @edmaul69 if you follow the link in my original post you can swap the binary out manually. I'd be curious to know as well. I don't have a mic to test it.

              @quicksilver using a mic is a no go. No option to disable fake mic. I tried feel the magic where you have to keep blowing into the mic to get the candles to blow out. A lot of work on a real ds. Whatever they did makes them blow out on the first blow all on its own. So if there is a game that needs to understand commands, that aint gonna happen.

                Just want to say that I'm glad some progress is being made on getting this version of DraStic officially added to RetroPie. I've been using it myself for several days now and it works great, and not having to reboot my Pi after exiting DraStic if I want to use a different emulator is a huge improvement.

                  Exciting! The new binary shows a lot of promise and plays really well.

                  Did anyone ever figure out how to remove or hide the mouse pointer from the upper left of the screen?

                    @theretroprince I couldn't find a setting to hide the mouse pointer. If you have a mouse you can move the pointer to the lower right part of the screen at which point it is hidden for that play session but it will reappear next time you launch a game.

                      Where can I get this update? Unfortunate that mic input still doesn't work but overall sounds like some great improvements

                        It's right at the top of the page opened by the link. Read everything at that link for installation instructions.
                        Edit please backup your system first. Just in case.

                          I've been using the older version of Drastic on Pi that worked pretty well already since I already have it installed, can I now upgrade to a new version with no issues?

                            @mat There doesnt seem to be any issues with the newer version. I would recommend making a back-up just in case.

                              Will these new versions be downloadable on the Pi menu in time?

                                @mat Thats a question only BuZz can answer. Im sure at the moment he's busy trying to get retropie 4.5 finished for release. Im curious how he feels about this version as well.

                                  @mat I've had no issues at all with Drastic (or the rest of the retropie system) after upgrading to the new version.

                                    I can host this version and include it but ideally I would prefer to reference an official release. Hoping they will maybe update the older version. Although happy they have given permission.

                                      @BuZz Would even the new versions be added, looks like 2.5.1.1 is the latest.

                                        So I've been using 2.5.0.4 for a while now with no problems. But what happens if I decide to update everything through Retropie-Setup? Would that roll DraStic back to 2.5.0.3, since the newer version isn't officially available in RetroPie yet?

                                          @SeraphisCain said in Newer version of Drastic compatible with raspberry pi?:

                                          Would that roll DraStic back to 2.5.0.3, since the newer version isn't officially available in RetroPie yet?

                                          Yes, that would install the version distributed by the RetroPie script.
