      @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?

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

                      @mitu That's what I figured, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

                        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.

                                  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?

                                          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 ??

                                            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

                                            This is awesome !!
