Reicast won’t install

[oskeeeddie]

I’m running Retropie x86 On my pc with the latest version of Ubuntu. I’ve updated to the latest version of Retropie and I've updated the Retropie script.
When I navigate to Retropie Setup, I go to manage optional packages, select Reicast, install from binary and I'm met with this message:
"Could not install package(s): python-dev python-pip alsa-oss python-setuptools libevdev-dev".
Also there is no option to add from source.

Ubuntu 20.04 switched to python3 by default, so the dependencies are no longer available. Until this gets fixed in the scriptmodule, you can try lr-flycast for Dreamcast games.

@mitu thank you. I am using flycast but I find certain games don’t function as they should

[mitu]

@oskeeeddie What games in particular ?

[oskeeeddie]

@mitu Sega Rally 2. Sound stutters

@oskeeeddie this is a game that uses WinCE and is extra demanding. Sound stuttering probably means the game is not running at fullspeed. Reicast doesn't support WinCE games last I checked, so flycast is your only option at the moment. Your computer may just not have enough power.

Try switching the alpha sort mode in options to the faster less accurate mode

[oskeeeddie]

@mitu so finally got Reicast to install but games do not load. I have placed the bios files in the dc folder and still nothing

@oskeeeddie i would use flycast as detailed. Did you try the option i mentioned?

A log will be needed to help further.

[oskeeeddie]

@BuZz I did try that option but it did not work

[oskeeeddie]

One game I cannot get to work even with flycast is Hydro Thunder. I get a black screen after the Dreamcast logo.
