      Adding XINIT: works great.
      @psyke83
      Adding SDL_RENDER_VSYNC=1 prevented the game from launching.

        @langest shouldn't have. Maybe something wasn't right. I've tested it and it works. Can post a log if you want.

              how did you make it work for Drastic?

              I've tried and met mixed results:

              drastic = "XINIT:pushd /opt/retropie/configs/nds/drastic; /opt/retropie/emulators/drastic/drastic %ROM%; popd"
              default = "drastic"

                default = "drastic"
                

                You should try the other workaround. In this case, you would need to prefix the variable before the emulator rather than the pushd or popd:

                drastic = "pushd /opt/retropie/configs/nds/drastic; SDL_RENDER_VSYNC=1 /opt/retropie/emulators/drastic/drastic %ROM%; popd"
                default = "drastic"
                

                Since we can't build drastic from source or control vsync via other means, it might be a good idea for us to set this as the default for the installation script.

                  @psyke83 ah, ok, I actually thought the variable would apply to the entire context, not the single individual command. Live and learn.

                  So this actually works, but still keeps a quite interesting bug. If you get drastic running and get into the menu, the rendering on screen is always on one frame behind what the actual menu state is in. Are you guys having a similar issue?

                  I'm wondering if it's worth starting a new thread discussing this, since we already hijacked the original conversation.

                    Yes, exactly the same issue. The side effect is worth the performance for me.

                    Probably. I confirmed this works for

                    • Drastic
                    • Oric
                    • Port: Jump & Bump
                    • Port: Prince of Persia (sdlpop)
                    • ...and the unsupported SRB-Kart (for those who followed the installation thread

                    Marathon could probably also benefit, but it launches differently. Since you figured this out, I'd welcome you to start the new thread and leave this to "VVVVVV".

                        Has anyone had luck getting an 8bitdo controller working in D-input mode working with this port? It recognizes my controller in X-input mode, but not in D-input mode.

                          @tacgnol there's an option in-game to show/hide cursor. Worked for hiding mine :)
