        Standalone reicast is skipping frame, you should do the same for lr-reicast, also, you didn't mention your OC settings.

        @shavecat said in lr-reicast dreamcast not working right:

        reicast_div_matching = "enabled"

        This option might be fine with "auto".

                    @shavecat if you are already not happy with standalone reicast you will likely not be happy with lr-reicast so you should stop trying; it is not worth more effort. There are other reasons to choose lr-reicast like fixing controller issues, access to GUI options but it’s not like you will see drastically better performance than standalone if that is what you were looking for.

                          @ryanjenson90 what similar issue are you experiencing? That lr-recaist doesn't run as well as standalone reicast? That's just how it is because "lr" cores have more overhead than standalone cores. In another words they require more system resources to run.

                            @shavecat FWIW, as seen in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19741/goodbye-fbalpha-welcome-fbneo/103 , bad power supply can also be a source of hard-to-diagnose stuttering/slowdowns.
