Working Dreamcast games

@hermit
thanks ,
but still not :\
i give up... -
Yes yes yes yes yes...
I'm able to play House Of The Dead 2 - Sega Naomi Arcade using Lightgun on Raspberry Pi thanks to this thread.
I've also managed to get Confidential Mission and Maze Of Kings both on Naomi Arcade working well too.
I wasn't able to the get the existing Lightgun support in lr-Reicast to work but was able to interface directly with the Sinden Lightgun. Hopefully we can get the existing support functioning across all the games in lr-Reicast, if not I'll make my hack more generic so anyone with a Lightgun device can play the Sega Naomi Lightgun games till the full support is working.
House Of The Dead 2 is quite glitchy on graphics and sound but still playable. The Dreamcast version also works and has less glitchy graphics but I couldn't get the Lightgun to work. It does work OK with a controller if you want to play without a Lightgun. Confidential Mission and Maze Of Kings both work quite well.
Atomiswave lightgun games like Ranger Mission, Sports Shooting USA and Extreme Hunting work too but I haven't yet been able to get the Lightgun controls to work.

@MrLightgun that's pretty neat! I see what you mean with the graphics being a bit glitchy. Dynamite cop has the same flickering triangles. Not sure if this is a short coming of the pi or the emulation.
-
@quicksilver yeah a good amount of Dreamcast games do that (cannon spike runs really nice except there are so many of those black triangles interfering it becomes unplayable). I think it is the emulation and that for more powerful devices they developed a rendering fix but pi is not powerful enough to handle the fix. Great to hear about your progress with the sinden lightgun @MrLightgun !
-
If anyone is clever enough to get Virtua Cop 2 Dreamcast working on the Pi I will be forever grateful!
I've tried both the Japanese version and the USA Sega Smash Pack version and they both crash straight after the Sega splash screens. I've tried a few random graphics settings in the hope it might work but no joy yet.

Ah that's a shame, I hoped it was just an early defect with the Raspberry Pi support, not an a known issue. However the Dreamcast version doesn't have them so just need to get the Lightgun working with that at some point. Thank you, the project is getting there slowly.

@hermit

i give up...here we are a little going offtopic
try to open a new topic and enter all your lr-reicast settings ;)- /config/dreamcast/emulators.cfg
- /config/dreamcast/retroarch.cfg
- /configs/all/retroarch.cfg
- /configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg
-etc...
another interesting test could be to create a new system dedicated to lr-reicast
;) -
@hermit
will give it a try ,
once my new pi will arrive ;) -
Pi3B+,Retroarch 1.7.6. Bios in
/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/dc. Tried both a dc gdi game and naomi .zip game. Here's my error. Boots me back:
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-reicast/reicast_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/retroarch.cfg"/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/fotns.zip" </dev/null --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1007: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch: No such file or directory -
@Darksavior check if these files looks okay_
/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emulators.cfg
/opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-reicast/reicast_libretro.so
/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/retroarch.cfg
ls -lwill list directory owns/perms
I can turn my pie on and get a better reference going, i just turned it off. I have lr-reicast installed but I haven't tried naomi so I'm kind of interested. Im really sleepyy though. -
@Efriim Oh crap. It was a failed update I stopped. Ok, reinstalled retroarch. My other games work. Still no dice on dreamcast.
Creating dir: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/Ikaruga//dc/data mkdir(/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/Ikaruga//dc/data) error: No such file or directory. -
@Darksavior
reicast and lr-reicast are working for me, I don't know anything about NAOMI but I added .zip extensions to es_systems<dreamcast>. I know that MAME arcade rom sets are name specific and remain zipped, They are also MAME*machine specific, so one package may not work for a different emulator. Maybe once I figure out how to run them myself first... -
@Efriim It's a bios location issue. I've read up and there's a few posts about it but no real fix. No dreamcast or naomi games work.
-
Sorry I wasnt at all more help, I built lr-reicast less than a week ago from this thread, I didn't have any problems but regular reicast outperforms it in everyway other than hwc reset and controller niceness. Again sorry, I got to go to bed, before I understand naomi.
-
@Darksavior You seem to have reset your
systemRetroArch folder, so if your BIOS files are inbios/dc, they're not picked up and RA tries to uses the ROM folder path assystem. Backup yourretroarch.cfgfile frm/opt/retropie/configs/alland then move the.distfile over. -
@mitu Great, that worked. Thanks.
-
Oh I see it now, I guess I skipped that one for being interested in just getting naomi files to work.
-
Hokuto No Ken Atomiswave running at an asstastic 24fps. Held my hopes high for this one. Also tried Capcom vs snk 1 Naomi at the same fps. Yea, I won't be running this emulator on my pi.
-
the following Atomiswave/Naomi games run pretty well in lr-reicast :-
Animal Basket
Knights of Valour : The Seven Spirits
Jambo Safari
Monkey Ball
Powerstone 2
Puyo Puyo DA
Radigy NOA
Samba De Amigo
Shakatto Tamborine
Slash Out
Spikers Battle
The Maze of Kings -
@Stuart2773 I also found guilty gear x 1.5 very good.
