    I can't get either reicast-libretro or the standalone to compile for RPi, so you're out of luck.

    I don't know, must be something weird with your HDMI handshake. Perhaps try using a preloaded EDID (don't know if that's even possible on the Pi).

    Hi again escalade,

    Don't know if you want to look further on this subject but I check on retropie, it seems they've done a fork of reicast here :
    GitHub - RetroPie/reicast-emulator: Reicast is a multiplatform Sega Dreamcast emulator
    perhaps it will allow to compile...

    See you

    It doesn't compile I've tried. They forked an older version and hacked it together to compile in their environment as they do with many others. I prefer to include up to date and well maintained emulators.

    Hello and thank you for this incredible build. I have a question I just installed the latest build for first time and setup the asound.conf like you described on page 1 however when running a test I get this message:

    Playback device is default
    Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
    Using 16 octaves of pink noise
    Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy

    Also EmulationStation log file shows:

    ConfigPath /storage/.config/emulationstation
    lvl0: AudioManager Error - Unable to open SDL audio: ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: Device or resource busy

    Kodi already frozen, nothing to do.
    lvl0: AudioManager Error - Unable to open SDL audio: ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: Device or resource busy

    What could I have done wrong? My asound.conf file is as follows:

    pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm {
    @func getenv
    vars [ ALSAPCM ]
    # Device name can be found using the command 'aplay -L'
    default "hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0"
    }
    }

    I still can't get sound out of Chrome and EmulationStation what am I doing wrong?

    Hi,

    I want to start Emulationstation from the main menu. Mainly I want to use FS-UAE. I have all needed files (kick13.rom, kick30.rom, yojoe.fs-uae) copied to the prefered folders in /storage/roms.

    Now, if I choose "Emulators" and Emulationstation starts, I get this message:

    Code
    WE CAN'T FIND ANY SYSTEMS!
CHECK THAT YOUR PATHS ARE CORRECT IN THE SYSTEMS
CONFIGURATION FILE, AND YOUR GAME DIRECTORY HAS AT LEAST ONE GAME WITH THE CORRECT EXTENSION


...

    What I doing wrong? Is there a HowTo to configure this?

    Thanks for your reply. Now I can start games. But get only one disk added to the floppy list. What to do, if a game have more than one disk?

    FS-UAE also runs a bit slow. I must figure out how to make it faster. Maybe with JIT?

    Name them disk1.adf disk2.adf etc and put them in a zip. JIT is only for OS level stuff, won't make games faster. Try "video_format = rgb565" in /storage/.config/fs-uae/Configurations/Default.fs-uae. Still not fast enough, try accuracy=0.

    Had tried these settings in Default config. Makes not a big difference.

    Will try this with a zip archive, thanks.

    Ok. The zip thing was a very good hint :)

    Work's perfect now...

    Next step: Controller

    In FS-UAE the controller is recognized, but only the analog sticks of my PS3 controller from Hama. How I setup controllers for FS-UAE?

    Emulationstation same thing but here the controller is completelly unrecognized. The same: how to setup my controller?

    In RetroArch the controller is recognized fully. Trsted with picodrive for Sega Genesis.

    I just updated to the latest release LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.95.1 but started having funny issues with my keyboard and DS4 controller within retroarch, couldn't select on either and ds4 seamed buggy. Tried with my 8bitdo controller and it was fine.

    Went back to down to LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0-devel-20170108 and it's fine now?.

    Try setting "keep audio device alive" to off in system audio settings.

    Thank you! That worked however now no audio in chrome, what else can I try?

    I even tried this

    LibreElec:~ # aplay -l

    You're on your own regarding controller configuration. There isn't a universal tool to configure all the apps, you'll need to dig into each respective documentation. FS-UAE can be configured through the Launcher (not included in this build), Emulationstation can be configured through the menus.

    Probably simplest to just don't use pulse.

    http://Youtube.com/tv doesn't work without pulseaudio. Hard to say if that goes for other sites, as I don't know why it needs pulseaudio in the first place. So far I haven't found a way to work around it. I really hate pulseaudio, since it was introduced to Linux it has caused me a lot of grief.

    It's weird that I can open terminal with ctrl+alt+F3 on Acer Notebook. But on Zotac mini pc it opens just black screen, no terminal access.

    It's no big deal anyway. Just curious if this is only me or it is a bug or something else. (I can always use a Chrome app to get terminal access.) :)
