Seeking permission to use newer version of Drastic with Retropie

Post by Quicksilver » Tue Apr 02, 2019 9:51 am

Good Morning,

Currently the RetroPie project is using a build of Drastic that is version 2.5.0.3. There are some bugs in this version of drastic such as games requiring microphone crashing and the framebuffer is not restored upon exiting drastic. Recently it was found that the version of drastic that is available for the odroid retroarena build is 2.5.0.4. This newer version of drastic seems to fix the microphone issue as well as restores the framebuffer properly upon exiting the emulator. The build for the odroid is fully SDL2 and from testing seems to be perfectly compatible with retropie/raspberry pi. We would like to incorporate this newer version into RetroPie as it fixes the aforementioned bugs. However before doing this, we would like to seek permission so as to avoid any misunderstandings or confusion. Thank you for creating such an awesome emulator and look forward to your response!
