            @locdamn Looks similar to crashes reported for games that require microphone.

                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.

                              @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.

                                  That's the correct command - isn't anything shown on the terminal ? Is the command finishing immediately ?

                                      Do you have enough free space on your disc/sdcard ? I see every installed file from DraStic is an empty file.

                                          @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.
