You should probably send a pull request for it to the RetroPie fork.

Done. https://github.com/RetroPie/reicast-emulator/pull/6

@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.

Hex

@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?

HurricaneFan

@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 reicast

P.S. thanks @jonsim it works perfectly.

@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.

JonathanKnight

@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!

ango

...ist working now. Issue was fixed. You have to reboot your RasPi.

Pi-Mania

For me this worked but, i too got a file called reicast?dl=1 that i had to
sudo mv reicast\dl=1 reicast
then
sudo chmod 755 reicast

Maybe >sudo wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/dh1umn50tqgxrg1/reicast is enough?

Thanks to all.

I tryied this fix but if I do that it give me the same issue of not startinting the rom just goes right back to the menu screen. Any help will be awesome, newbie here. I have read for three days without any luck for this issue.
