        @inolen Thanks for the update! I've had a quick go this morning and the crash is gone, for reference I played as far as:-

        Virtua Cop I played to the first boss on beginner
        Resident Evil 2 I played to the first save in the police station
        Armada played about 5 minutes shooting things.

        I see what you mean about Armada, it has little pauses when you blow up an opposing ship but it still plays very nicely otherwise

          @quicksilver if that's the case, @AdamBeGood try rebinding the trigger in the UI.

          I've tried a rebind now, still no joy although it did work once bizarrely! As in one acceleration worked. Input displays as +axis5 now rather than just axis5. I'm using an Elite Controller, I haven't noticed it not working with any other games but I'll try another XBox controller that I have somewhere to try that.

            @adambegood can you try rebinding the trigger (in the redream menu) to one of the face buttons temporarily just to see if it really is the trigger causing the issue?

              I've tried using RB as Right Trigger and that is absolutely fine. I would say that the trigger would work without problem for one of the face buttons but I can try that, sure.

              Edit: Right Trigger is fine as A, it seems to be the analog nature of accelerating that causes the issue. This isn't a big issue anyway, I can cope with using RB for this game as Accelerate. It's not as nice but that is okay.

                @adambegood binding it to +axis5 instead of just axis5 I thought would have done the trick.

                  Hmmm weird. Don't worry about it, it is very strange. The game is perfectly playable with RB as Accelerate

                    @adambegood How does redream handle swapping disks for RE2? I recall PSX emulators having issues with this specific game as you needed to load the cleared save from the other disc in order to start scenario B.

                        Damn, even Half Life runs. Seems to run well. Sadly the one analog controls are absolutely horrendous but I do believe this might be the only way currently to play the Decay campaign on the Pi?

                          My understanding was that the game should save at the end of the first Disk and then you should be okay when you re-start with the second disk, in a general Dreamcast sense. I am not sure about Resi 2 specifically.

                            @zering You don't disc swap with RE2. It saves to the VMU at the end of disc 1 and then loads that save when you load disc 2.

                              @inolen Brilliant, thanks. I've beaten the PSX version countless times but never the Dreamcast one. I'm thinking of doing Leon A / Claire B for a change...

                                  Does the decay campaign work with the dreamcast version? I thought that it was a ps2 exclusive. On a side note you can run xash3d (engine that runs half-life) on the pi with very good performance and does support modern dual analog controls. Plus you can run a number of expansions and mods for it.

                                    @quicksilver You're right, I got confused. Decay was for PS2.
                                    I tried several times to get xash3d working, to no avail sadly.

                                      Thanks for this @inolen!

                                      This morning I tried:

                                      -Sega Rally - Ran great
                                      -Kiss Psycho Cirus - Ran around in the first room but seemed to be fine!
                                      -Puzzle Bobble 4 - Playable but with a bit of slow down (it seems so simple too...)
                                      -Super Runabout - Seemed to be full speed but with intermittent stutter.
