/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

locDAMN

@mitu Well got empty and as you can see

it is empty yes.. Do i need to remove and re-install from binary ?

mitu

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

locDAMN

@mitu Yup still 10Gb remaining

mitu

@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.

locDAMN

@mitu ended up a bit fast

Looks ok, the file is correct and the unpacking works. Are the emulator files still empty ?

locDAMN

@mitu I did a clean remove / reboot then install / remove and now packages are here i'm gonna launch from xterm again

locDAMN

@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

Big thanks to the time you gave to me
