Every time I play dreamcast, displays the setting screen time/date

@jonsim this works perfect on my setup. Thanks for doing this!
-
WOAW excellent :D
Do you think there are some other fix for games you can add to improve this emulator on PI ?
Thanks -
@jonsim Hi jonsim. I updated reicast via retropie's setup manager, then copied your new reicast executable into the correct place, plus made sure it was executable. However, it won't work for me and runcommand.log provides the following error:
/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh: line 88: 2239 Segmentation fault aoss "$rootdir/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast" "${params[@]}" > /dev/nullI then reinstalled reicast via the setup manager to check that there is no problem with my "stock" setup. That worked. So your executable doesn't seem to work for me.
I see you've got your changes on github now. Could I ask please what the commands are to install your version of reicast from the github repository? Thanks.
And if it is Christmas Day in your neck of the woods, Happy Christmas!

@spud11 What platform are you running on? Raspberry Pi 3?
Assuming you have development tools installed:
git clone https://github.com/jonsimantov/reicast-emulator.git
cd reicast-emulator/shell/linux
(now you need to edit the Makefile to uncomment the NO_VIRTUAL_CFG=1 line)
make platform=rpi2 -

@jonsim this worked like a charm for me (I used Filezilla instead of the USB Raspbian method, renamed the old file, dragged in the one you made, and made sure to change the file permissions of the new file to 777).
Thanks!

@jonsim Great thanks for this work :)
-
@jonsim Worked perfectly for me, drag and drop it in directory with ftp client and changed permissions manualy. Thanks a lot!
-
@jonsim There are some comments attached to your pull request about cleaning up indentions.
-
@jonsim Please cleanup the request so it can be merged.
-
@jonsim Has this been merged yet? If it is/when it is do I have to compile reicast from source to get it or will it be in the binary obtained from the retropie script?
-
@madmodder123 It has not been merged yet. Still needs some things to happen before it will be merged.

While this may be obvious to those with Linux experience, a simple wget from the command line will allow the download and copy of the @jonsim updated reicast files rather than downloading to a USB stick etc.
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin
sudo wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/dh1umn50tqgxrg1/reicast?dl=0
sudo mv reicast reicast_old #if you want to be safe and backup your old reicast file
sudo cp reicast?dl=0 reicast
sudo chmod 755 reicastP.S. thanks @jonsim it works perfectly.

sudo cp reicast?dl=0 reicast
sudo chmod 755 reicast@timekills this doesn't work on raspberry pi3, with a completely updated retropie, and freshly installed reicast. Tested today. Selecting a game just goes back to the main menu. Yes, I made sure file permissions were correct.
-
This should do it. The old one had dl=0 which makes it download the html page.
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin sudo mv reicast reicast_old #if you want to be safe and backup your old reicast file sudo rm reicast #delete the old one if you didn't back it up with the step above sudo wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/dh1umn50tqgxrg1/reicast?dl=1 sudo chmod 755 reicast -
@madmodder123 Might just be the way I typed the command, but when I did it, it downloaded a file called "reicast?dl=1".
mving the file to just be named reicast seems to work though, and it works just fine. -
Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to do it though Filezilla instead of using USB. I recently got mine setup at a local convention (I did installed the games btw). I'm still new to it and for some reasons i keep getting permission denied whenever i did stuff. Like trying to rename the old reicast file.
Honestly, I do want to know how to fix this so i can play Dreamcast games. If anyone knows, then explain how to get it working.

@jonathanknight You cannot do it via USB, since the transfer method doesn't work for arbitrary files. You can copy the file(s) directly to
/home/pi, then use the command line (see the commands above) to copy/move then to the right location. -
@mitu Okay, i did that. but now i facing a new problem! Reicast will not start up and I am left wondering what I did wrong. Seriously guys, what did i do wrong!
