      @darthlink It depends. It has been removed from the latest set-up script. Go into experimental and see if it is there. If not, we can still sort it.

        I have juste verified and it is not in the optional ports and not either in the experimental.

        I have juste downloaded the emulator and unzipped it in a folder but i have no idea where to put the files ?

        I see in a folder that there is 2 bios for drastic, 1 is arm7 and the other one is arm9. I also see an executale named drastic and other .xml and .dat file and drastic logo 1 and 2 wich are .raw

        any idea where or what i do with those please ?

        Should i uninstall lr-desmume ?

        Is drastic going to be also in the es_systems.cfg file ? i am asking because afterward, i will have to manually change the default path of where the roms are located.

                Ok found it, it is in RetroPie-Setup. I have uninstall lr-desmume and installed drastic. I will test it a little later after a reboot then let you know if it works or not ;) thx.

                  @darthlink, @AlexMurphy

                  A word of caution here. This method might conflict in the future and it's possible the continued recommendation could impede relations with the developer. We removed the direct ability to install DraStic to respect his wishes. Recommending an easy installation on these forums only serves to negate that goal and potentially any hope of including a final release in the future.

                      You're OK. This is more about getting the word out there for the future. The whole situation is up in the air at the moment and while there's probably no need to delete this entirely, I'll leave it up to @BuZz as to whether or not these posts should be edited as they appear going forward.

                          @darthlink Don't worry. I think the caution was more directed at me, than you.

                            It affects helpful regulars more, but it's not meant to single you out. This is about the third or fourth time this fix has come up here since DraStic was removed and I'm sure it won't be the last time someone comes looking for an easy way to install it.

                              @mediamogul I know and I understand the point you are making. However, exophase will do whatever he wants regardless. No additional work has been done on the Pi version of DraStic since the Beta as far as I know. Anyone been in contact with him?

                                True, and we shouldn't go around walking on eggshells, but a consideration to his wishes regarding the beta certainly doesn't seem inappropriate.

                                No additional work has been done on the Pi version of DraStic since the Beta as far as I know.

                                That's tough to gauge. He maintains that his work there will resume when he gets time. Plus, we really don't know what's been done so far. DraStic is normally paid software on most platforms and I'm sure they get a higher priority.

                                Anyone been in contact with him?

                                He's remained quiet. There are a few others that have commented on the issue here as well.
