    I have a new problem. I downloaded reicast because i wanted a dreamcast emulator. When I launch it, it shows me this :

    GAMES..............................................................................................Settings

    ..Join our Discord Server !

    ..Dreamcast BIOS

    I tried to put a game in ROM/Dreamcast but nothing shows. When i try to do something, the rasperry freeze. Is it normal or did i do something wrong ?

      @AlreadyTaken Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      When I launch it, it shows me this : [..]

      This is what looks like when you're launching it without any ROM.

      I tried to put a game in ROM/Dreamcast but nothing shows.

      You'll need to add a supported disk image - as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Dreamcast/. If the filename you added doesn't have the proper extension it will not show up in the list of games.

        @mitu Raspberry Pi 3B+
        Dreamcast / Reicast
        Game I want to try : Hydro Thunder (US)[Re-release][NBS].cdi

        When i launch the game without Reicast, it shows me the normal menu of the dreamcast but i can't play because i need to insert a disk. But When i launch the Emulator it shows me the thing that i told u (and i can't do anything). I watched a lot of video and this problem doesn't show at all

            @AlreadyTaken Do you have the BIOS files for reicast set up ? Alternatively, you could try installing lr-flycast and run the game with it - just change the emulator from the runcommand launch menu.

              @mitu I checked and the BIOS are fine. I made all the things necessary but nothings work, strange. I will try lr-flycast to see if it work

                  @AlreadyTaken said in Reicast:

                  This is what i get when i launch +reicast

                  That's normal - you should be launching the game, not the +Reicast entry, in order to start it.

                    @mitu So if it says "Please insert game disc.", that means that the ROM file is not correct ?

                      I don't remember getting this message with reicast. Does it show when you're launching the game ? Usually, if the ROM/disc image is not correct, you're returned to the game list. Did you try to launch the same game with flycast ?
