Read somewhere on https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21826/newer-version-of-drastic-compatible-with-raspberry-pi/36?_=1614082788848 that we cant get from github the last drastic version
I doubt it, since it's a closed source (for now) emulator.
Didnt know that pokemon require microphone
Probably they don't, but the emulator might try to find it anyway.
Do you have the desktop installed by chance ? You haven't offered much info about your setup (per https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first).

The desktop is not a requirement for DraStic, but installing it also installs the PulseAudio service, which might cause issues with it.
-

failed to find mixer elementsi'll follow the instruction here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11256/failed-to-find-mixer-elements/12 and we will see :)

@locdamn Can you start the desktop and then run manually DraStic from a terminal (
xterm) ?cd /opt/retropie/configs/nds/drastic /opt/retropie/emulators/drastic "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nds/Pokemon SoulSilver.nds"See if any errors are reported in the terminal.

is a directorythen i did/opt/retropie/emulators/drastic/drastic "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nds/Pokemon SoulSilver.nds"and literraly nothing happened

@locdamn said in Drastic unable to launch games:
/opt/retropie/emulators/drastic/drastic "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nds/Pokemon SoulSilver.nds"
That's the correct command - isn't anything shown on the terminal ? Is the command finishing immediately ?
What's the output of
file /opt/retropie/emulators/drastic/drastic -
@mitu Well got
emptyand as you can see
it is empty yes.. Do i need to remove and re-install from binary ?
-
Do you have enough free space on your disc/sdcard ? I see every installed file from DraStic is an empty file.
-
@mitu Yup still 10Gb remaining
-
@locdamn Then re-install and see if the correct files are created. If not, then provide the installation log from
$HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs- it should be the last log file created. -
@mitu ended up a bit fast

Looks ok, the file is correct and the unpacking works. Are the emulator files still empty ?
-
@mitu I did a clean remove / reboot then install / remove and now packages are here i'm gonna launch from xterm again
-
@mitu OK, ffs this is finally working !!!!
Maybe it was cache when i uninstall/install without rebooting but now files are here and not empty.
games are launching too
