      any way you can send me your retroarch.cfg ? (so i can copy and paste )

      this is all there is ... but there are a bunch on mappings in the /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings folder (image below)

      # Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

          No, you shouldn't - this will break the other systems that are working right now.

          Please provide the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and also a detailed (verbose) log from running a dreamcast game, as mentioned in that topic.

                good advise to back up the sd every week or so ;)

                will keep that in mind

                  Verbose log (if relevant):

                  This is not a verbose log, just a normal log file. Make sure you toggle verbose logging in the runcommand launch menu when starting the game.

                      from the runcommand menu select "L" Launch with verbose logging

                      then using WINScp or PuTTy ... ssh into RetroPie and then log file is in

                      /dev/shm/run/runcommand.log

                      output will look something like this ... (i'm running Guilty Gear Isuka using lr-flycast)

                          I slept on it

                          There was nothing I could do , I tried a lot of things I think I completely ruined the whole RetroArch.cfg

                          I just decided to start from scratch with a fresh new start

                          I will be tweaking and orginizing my Pi all day

                          If I come across any issues I will post in the forums

                          Than you both for all the help

                          Appreciate it
