DraStic Crash Log: Help?

[StonedEdge]

Hi all.

I've been playing Pokemon Platinum lately and really enjoying it with the Drastic emulator, however my ROMs have been randomly crashing. I'll post the output of /dev/shm/runcommand.log below:

Does anyone know how to resolve this/stop these random crashes? Is 2GB not enough RAM to run Drastic? I'm using a CM4.

Kind regards,
Ben

Here’s a link to the video showing the issue. I know it’s probably impossible to fix right now, since DraStic isn’t open source (been taking forever for this to happen…) but this doesn’t happen on other libretro core based emulators. Definitely makes me think it’s related to the sound configuration/ALSA/whatever sound system DrAstic uses.

@StonedEdge hi there
can you share the arm64 binary to test?
