Flycast - NAOMI games, some work some don't

indecks · 3 Apr 2020, 20:57

I've gotten a few Naomi games working like Capcom vs SNK 1, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, your average Dreamcast games, and Atomiswave games. Those all work great. But even following this tutorial to get Capcom Vs SNK 2 working (oh my god imnot advertising another image its a tutorial video on a GAME) it does. not. work.

I've got the same files with the same sizes/names. I've got the BIOS files where they need to be. I'm using the offical RetroPie image for Pi 4 (yes I know its unsupported but this is not a RetroPie issue) and I'm using Flycast as my emulator. I've got everything in the right place. I am using the zip and chd files.

I restart Emulation Station every time I make a change. And this just isn't working. What is it that I'm possibly doing wrong!??

I know the ROMs are solid because they work 100% with DEmul.

@indecks Please remove the link to 3rd party images promotion videos.

Please provide a detailed/debug log from running the game - you can find it in /dev/shm/runcommand.log after you've started the game.

For the record, using the correct ROM and the normal naomi.zip BIOS I've been successfully running the game with lr-flycast. One thing to note - the game includes a CHD file, which you have to copy next to the ROM, in a cvs2 folder:

pi@pie4:~/roms/dreamcast $ find | grep cvs2
./cvs2.zip
./cvs2
./cvs2/gdl-0008.chd
./cvs2.state
./cvs2.zip.nvmem

This has been solved. I started over from scratch and resinstalled Flycast, and all of my ROMs worked.

I know that it is not a roms site but that is why I put my email if you can tell me where to get that roms please

@dylan4312 Again, this is not a ROM site and the rules of the forum specifically say Don't ask for ROMs. Whether you want the ROMs delivered by email or not, that's irrelevant.

@mitu ok apologies sorry

@mitu I do as you said and games works fine. The problem is that in emulationstation I see a row with the game name and a row with the folder. Is there a way to hide that folder?

Only if you remove the .chd extension from the dreamcast system, so EmulationStation doesn't consider .chd files ROMs.

I'll give it a try asap.

Thanks.
