      Hi all
      i try install reicast with the retropie setup script on Ubuntu 18.04

      but i got the following error:

      could not successfully build reicats - dreamcast emulator reicast
      (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/shell/linux/reicast.elf not found).
      

      the log file say:

      Could not successfully build reicast - Dreamcast emulator Reicast (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/reicast/shell/linux/reicast.elf not found).
      

      i try to instal manually in that way:

      cd /home
      sudo wget http://retrorangepi.download/reicast
      

      then move to flycast folder

      sudo mv /home/reicast /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/
      

      give it execute permission:

      sudo chmod +x /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast
      

      but reicast respektively flycast are not woking, it freezes by the dreamcast logo.

        The reicast upstream project has re-organized the repository and the scriptmodule cannot install it from source, since the paths have changed. An update is pending that will fix it.
        Copying a program for a different type of CPU (OrangPI has an ARM CPU) will not make it work an an PC - like the one you have.
        When you run lr-flycast, use the Runcommand launch menu to toggle verbose logging, then launch your game. After you get a crash/error/stall, post the /dev/shm/runcommand.log on pastebin.com, maybe we can spot the error.

            @noise You didn't turn on verbose mode - the log is not so detailed.
            I remember something similar with installations using the Intel GPU driver - playing with DRI settings in Xorg you might have some success:

              these links are all with nvdia i have intel graphics.

              lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "VGA"
              
              00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 591c (rev 02)
              	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 2015
              	Kernel driver in use: i915
              

              here is another log:
              don't know why the first was not in verbose, my fault

              by searching i found this repo:
              https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers

              But not shure to install it, because all others emu's are working fine except pcsx2 but this is another construction place and do a new thread for this...

              Edit:
              here a few more info
              if i start the reicast start script

              #!/bin/bash
              /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh
              

              so first i saw permission error...

              Parameters: 
              Executing: bash "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/+Start Reicast.sh"
              /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/+Start Reicast.sh: line 2: /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh: Permission denied
              

              so i make it executable because user rights are ok..

              sudo chmod +x /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh
              

              after making it executable, the log is :

              Parameters: 
              Executing: bash "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/+Start Reicast.sh"
              /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh: line 87: /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

                after yesterday's retropie script update
                i have reicast & flycast reinstalled and everything runs fine.

                Except naomi/atomiswave
                Emulutationstation needs always after a update to reconfigure the Dreamcast System:

                sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
                <system>
                    <name>dreamcast</name>
                    <fullname>Dreamcast</fullname>
                    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast</path>
                    <extension>.cdi .chd .gdi .sh .zip .lst .CDI .CHD .GDI .SH .ZIP .LST</extension>
                    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ dreamcast %ROM%</command>
                    <platform>dreamcast</platform>
                    <theme>dreamcast</theme>
                  </system>

                  One error i have, but for me is not urgent to resolve yet.
                  i think is a dev thing

                  enter to xmb retroarch menu, then resume...
                  this freezing the retroarch menu, also with rgui
