      I installed RetroPie a couple of days ago on a Pi2 but came across a problem when I wanted to try out the Dreamcast emulator. Every time I try to start Dreamcast (System Manager or a game (Power Stone 1 & 2)) the system returns to the Emulation Station menu with no error messages. I'm currently only using a keyboard.

      I assumed it was a BIOS problem, but after trying 4 different BIOS files I still can't start up Dreamcast.

      Has anyone had similar problems and could help?

        Hello,

        When you launch reicast, reicast.sh don't count keyboard as a controller for the emulator. You must use a gamepad or found a way to use keyboard.

          Oh okay, thanks for the help. I guess I'll just have to wait till my controllers come in mail and try again.
