Newer version of Drastic compatible with raspberry pi?

A Bored Ninja

I really hope they put out an official release. I'd love a cleaned up version of Drastic on my Pi setup!

@A-Bored-Ninja feel free to swap out the binary. Takes about 20 seconds. Link is in the original post.

@quicksilver did you have to do anything outside of installing it from the experimental packages list to get it running? I can't get drastic to boot games unfortunately.

@joe-info Im sure we can get it figured out for you. Can you start a new topic please with the info requested here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

For anyone who want to try the 2.5.0.4 version on his/her pi this is a step by step guide.

SSH/Putty to your Pi or plug a keyboard and press F4 to get local command prompt.

cd /opt/retropie/emulators
sudo mv drastic drastic.old
sudo wget https://github.com/Retro-Arena/binaries/raw/master/odroid-xu4/drastic.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvf drastic.tar.gz
ls -lah (validate file/folders are in place, just make sure you see folder called "drastic")
sudo reboot

The latest release for retropie was 2.5.0.3. With the new update 2.5.0.4 seems to bypass the microphone problem.

All credits going to Virtualman.

@soulfunkdjx Can you do this with the old version already installed?

Libation

@brunozero Yes, I did that last night. Working perfectly.

Thank you very much for this, everything worked, but to load into the emulator I have to go through file manager and not through retropie, is there any solution for this ??

Update good news

Yes its still in progress, its decided that the open source fork will be a Retroarch core so that users on multiple systems and not just phones can play it. Wed Jan 13, 2021 4:20 am
