      90% chance it's bad disc images... have you ever successfully run them before?

        So the rom files are probably bad? I have not run them before so I would not know for sure.

          Are your bios in the bios/dc folder? They used to be placed directly in the bios folder but are now in bios/dc.

          Edit: Re-reading I'm like 86% sure this is your issue. That error is probably saying you don't have a bios file in the right spot.

            can't say for sure, but viewing the /dev/shm/runcommand.log like mitu said should tell you... definitely something to check for

                You'll have to get the file after the game is run and while RetroPie is running, because /dev/shm is actually a memory mapped folder. Stopping RetroPie would just wipe out its contents (because it's in memory and not on disk), so use SSH to get the file from the RetroPie system.

                EDIT: I assume you've read the Docs for the Reicast emulator and have the proper BIOS files in place.

                  I did a quick google search on the error message and I am getting the same error posted in this previous retropie forum post. Previous Post the number after line 88 is 2185 on mine not 1765 like in the other post.

                    pretty sure he said he can run the bios correctly with the +start reicast script, so it's not that

                      Does Reicast even work on the retropie? What are the original names for the bios and flash files? Is there a best way to copy the files over, I just copied them in Ubuntu?
                      I got ecco the dolphin to work but not sonic

                        if you got ecco to work, then its almost definitely a problem with the sonic files, the bios is fine.
