      I guess that the RetroPie Setup needs to be updated to get the most recent version of DraStic.

      Enter the RetroPie-Setup Script menu.
      retropie_setup >> Update RetroPie-Setup script
      retropie_setup >> Manage packages > experimental > drastic > install from binary

        I tried drastic, it does seem to break the run-command menu. You can catch it the first time, but then it won't work after exiting drastic. The menu is still there, it is just in the background and you cant see it (needs a failsafe exit shortcut/key).

        For the emulator, 640x480 resolution doesn't quite work, there was no drastic-GUI available in this res mode. 480p and 720p were okay though.

          Sorry that it isn't working, maybe @mitu will know what to do with the script module or launch item.

            @Efriim how do I change the resolution for drastic to one that works? Maybe if I get everything else right, then I can run the error log again to see what's up.

              The run-command should work for one time if you reboot.

                @Efriim do I just change it to 16:9 ?

                  I Think 720x480 (480p) or 1280x720 (720p). Either 16:9 or 4:3.

                    @Efriim the version of drastic available through retropie-setup has a known issue of not clearing the framebuffer after you exit the emulator. Try the newer version.

                          @joe-info Here's my latest error log. I took config files from a working set up. the main difference is that I have Pinn Lite installed on this one for the hdmi swap feature. Could that be affecting how the emulator behaves?
