Ri3 - Reicast (Dreamcast) Emulator Not Playing !

proaudiosoft

@Hydro
run in terminal :
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin
Here is a script called 'reicast-joyconfig'
run it :
./reicast-joyconfig

Choose your joystick.
Now you can map your buttons.
When all is done it outputs the text for making a file in '/home/pi/.reicast/mappings' .
It outputs something like this (numbers are in decimals not hexadecimal such as in other contoller.cfg's(0x13b)):
[emulator]
mapping_name = Your Gamepad
btn_escape = 316

[dreamcast]
.......etc

make a file in '/home/pi/.reicast/mappings' called controller_Your Gamepad.cfg and paste the text in this file. (tip, highlighting the text in putty copies it to clipboard)

When you are done, we can create you a emu.cfg file pointing to the new map file...

@Hydro You need to use putty or console, and go to the location I specified above. Quit emulation station within retropie, and you will be at the console
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin

Please wait patiently for an answer - bumping posts will not help, and will just get your post downvoted.

The folder does exist - in your screenshot it even tells you it "Is a directory". However, as you didn't use cd, it didn't change to that folder (you told the system to try and execute the directory hence the error)

What's the fix ?

As I said, you need to use "cd" to switch to a folder. You should read some shell tutorials for linux. eg http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php

there is no /home/pi/.reicast/mappings folder when i run winscp !

BuZz

I meant in the terminal - in your screenshot you did not use cd /home/pi/.reicast/mappings you first did cd to another path , then on a separate line you did /home/pi/.reicast/mappings which is not the same thing.

The folder should be there on winscp - but make sure you have it set to show hidden files/folders (starting with a dot)

Just a note from my own experience, i updated the reicast to the retropie-setup 4.0 beta 2 version and all my pal games stopped working. However all the ntsc ones work fine including the ntsc version of marvel vs capcom 2. I would download an ntsc version just so you have both to test against it. Again this may not be a problem for anyone else but just my problem. I also havent spent any time figuring out why though.

Track 3 is the full game. You need to move all those files.
