      Wow thanks, let's do some test :D
      Would you mind sharing with me you lr-reicast core ? Maybe mine is different.

          Yes, see post by BJRetro (some posts above)

          basically you have to edit /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emulators.cfg and add
          < /dev/null
          at the very end of the line inside the last quotation mark in the line that says lr-reicast=

            in /config/dreamcast/emulators.cfg edit and add < /dev/null at the end.
            lr-reicast = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-reicast/reicast_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/retroarch.cfg %ROM% </dev/null"

                @ninuzzu Looks like that fix was for GLES 3 devices. Pi is GlES 2 so that fix is not likely to work.

                  @quicksilver nope, this fix also works on raspberry, i had to do it on mine, however it seems it wasn't needed with earlier version of retroarch (i didn't have the issue with my previous RA from mid-december)

                  @shavecat did you follow all instructions, including bioses ?

                  @ninuzzu i destroyed my sd card last week so i can't send you a copy of my core

                    @barbudreadmon Metal Slug 6 and Wacky Races (lr-reicast) run much better with your oveclock settings. Crazy taxi is now running almost perfect ^^
                    Thanks

                      @ninuzzu On a pi3b+ the bottleneck for dreamcast/N64 is the GPU. Specifically getting the core_freq as high as possible (and be stable!) will give you the best possible results (on your pi).

                      There was some recent discussion in regards to overclocking and stability testing here that may be helpful:

                          If it just stopped working without any action from you, then you have a corrupt file somewhere, or maybe worse (corrupted sd).

                            did you put all the bios in the folder /bios/dc/ ?

                                @shavecat Well, programs don't just "stop working" without a reason, and the reasons can only be :

                                • change of settings
                                • corrupt file
                                • corrupt hardware

                                Sorry but i won't be able to help you if you are telling me none of those happened.

                                            Thanks for the binary, that is exactly what I was asking for.
