Quote from bite_your_idols

I don't follow dreamcast cores development but as I say some weeks ago these cores are WIP so I think that can be difficult to get them working in a RPi

Thank you very much! I hadnt seen your previous answers.

We’ll see in the near future if it works.

Regards,

Hi,

I have installed Gamestarter in my raspberry pi 3, and I can emulate roms from genesis, snes, PSX, N64... However, I have trouble emulating Dreamcast roms.

I placed BIOS files here...

Code

LibreELEC:~ # cd emulators/bios/dc/
LibreELEC:~/emulators/bios/dc # ls -l
total 4352
-rwxr--r--    1 root     root       2097152 Feb 20  2009 boot.bin
-rwxr--r--    1 root     root       2097152 Feb 20  2009 dc_boot.bin
-rwxr--r--    1 root     root        131072 Feb 20  2009 dc_flash.bin
-rwxr--r--    1 root     root        131072 Feb 20  2009 flash.bin

And Reicast and Redream cores recognize bios files.

When starting a rom, retroarch is closed, and I am in LibreElec.

This is the log using Redream...

Could you please help me? I get the same thing with other roms (Shenmue, Sonic Adventure...)

And thank very much for your LibreELEC Addon. You are doing a great job!
