Reicast and lr-flycast go to Dreamcast BIOS when Games Are Launched

[Unboundclassic]

An odd one... Both Reicast and Flycast go strait to the Dreamcst BIOS when I try and launch a game. The emulators seems to work as they both go to BIOS, and the sound and controls work as well. And obviously the BIOS are present and work. But the games don't launch.

I've used the same roms before so they should be fine.

RetroPie 4.6.1 on a Pi 3 A+

@Unboundclassic what format are your ROMs?

[Unboundclassic]

@quicksilver That's a good point....
Both "should" be supported BUT I was using .cdi's. I just tried some .gdi's and it's working better. Some games still go to the BIOS for some reason, but many will start up. Reicast is still for sure the better of the two as far as performance/Emuation goes on a Pi 3.

@Unboundclassic Cdi is not recommended. The emulators even tell you that. Use gdi or chd.

If its a game that used WinCE then its not going to work no matter what emulator you use in the raspberry pi. See here for a list of those games: https://segaretro.org/Windows_CE

Thanks for the input everyone. I've got a handful of working games and I'm happy with that for now. I have far more on my Linux tower RetroPie build that is more fit for this kind of thing.
