Hi Escalade,

I have try your reicast bin.

Do you think it's possible to change default bios directory to the bios general directory instead of /storage/.local/share/reicast/data/ (i did not found if there is a possibility to change it in emu.cfg) ?
So I put dc bios in /storage/.local/share/reicast/data/

I add this entry in es_systems.cfg :

<system>
                <name>dreamcast</name>
                <fullname>Dreamcast</fullname>
                <path>/storage/roms/dreamcast</path>
                <extension>.cdi .gdi</extension>
                <command>/storage/reicast.rpi2.bin %ROM%</command>
                <platform>dreamcast</platform>
        </system>

I also add (try to) my xbox360 controller mapping :
evdev_mapping_1 = <path to mapping file>.cfg

but it seems to be rewritten at each start of the emulator so I do a chattr +i on emu.cfg so controller OK.

Marvel vs capcom 2 start but is not playable the sound is crackling and fps is low (to compare reicast in retropie allow to play mvc2 just some 2D glitch to note).

I'll check If there are specifics parameters used in the retropie reicast config as I haven't change anything in this run.

See you.

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

DoC JoNeS

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

There's already reicast libretro core, that's what the reicast folder in roms is for

Blackhazard

Yes, it should be ready. Planning to get the i5 myself.

Hi escalade,

For reicast I was talking about the raspberry image and not the libretro core as it seems not available for arm actually. That's why I was reffering on retropie in which they put reicast emulator to allow dreamcast play (I have tested marvel vs capcom 2 which work well enough on rpi3 in retropie).

Again, nice work I'm really happy with your build

See you.

Hi,

escalade, I put back console option it works now so I really don't understand what was wrong... nevertheless it works, thank you for your help
New question : is it possible to add reicast emulator (like in retropie) ?

See you.

Thanks for the explanation for the tar, I actually don't try it as after checking md5 checksum of multiple files there isn't any difference with the .img
Also I remove from cmdline.txt console=ttyAMA0,115200 and it now start

So no more problem, I just don't understand why this option was blocking the startup.

See you

Sounds strange, have you tried a different SD card? Upgrading from a different build? My build machine did run out of space when compressing the RPi2 .img so I compressed it manually. The image should be fine though, but if it wasn't the .tar should work.

Can someone else confirm?

Only have one sd but it works well with the libreelec alpha 7.90.0.10. I only do fresh install with dd using the .img (like I do with raspbian, retropie and so on ).

I download the tar, but I don't know yet what to do with it. I'll look and try.

Hi escalade,

I just download the 20170105 img for rpi2 which I put with the following command on my microsd for a rpi3 :

sudo dd if=LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0-devel-20170105.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M
sudo sync

and I'm stuck on boot, I just have the LibreElec splashscreen that show up and then nothing except a black screen.

Any idea to help me ?

See you.
