      What version of retropie are you using and where did you get your image? PSX should come pre-installed.
      What type of files are you using for Dreamcast? Have you got the BIOS files indicated in the documentation?
      Lastly, you should use flycast or redream, not reicast.

          @BlueFox964 You need to provide more accurate and thorough information if you want help. I need to know the file types for your roms and file names for your bios.
          If you did get your image from the RetroPie website then PSX should be installed.

            I have downloaded Flycast, but now the emulator does not even show up in the main screen, and so my games don't show up either.

                @Zering The file Types for my Psx roms are .7z, and the bio name for Psx is SCPH.1001.BIN, and my Dreamcast roms are .7z and the Bios are dc_boot.bin

                  @BlueFox964 You need to unzip your files.
                  I'm pretty sure you're missing bios for Dreamcast. Please check the documentation.
                  You will also need to check the documentation to make sure your unzipped files are correct.

                  Dreamcast : link

                  PSX : link

                      @BlueFox964 lr-psx-rearmed. There is only one on the Pi 4.
                      Your files will in all likelihood be .bin and .cue.
                      There are other options but at this point I would recommend you focus on getting that kind of file.
                      As for the rest, it's all in the documentation. I'm on my mobile and I can't really remember off the top of my head. I think Dreamcast has its own bios folder.

                        Concerning DREAMCAST: if you unzip your files and those are CDIs: better watch out for GDIs.
                        CDIs are ripped and modified to fit on a CDR and therefore 2nd choice.

                          @Zering Can you give me a link to a dc_flash.bin download, because I cant seem to find one just by searching it.

                            @BlueFox964 We can't do that, that's against the rules of this forum.
