Redream on x86_64

Crush

I'm trying to upgrade my pi4 to a Optiplex, but i notice with WinCE games on the dreamcast using lr-flycast does not perform optimal, i tried to install redream from the Retropie setup script but apparently it is not available on x86 systems trough that.
If i install redream on my system how would i add it as one of the emulator choices in retropie when launching a game?

Update your setup script:

@sleve_mcdichael ok that actually changed the package flags in the error message, but the problem persists.

Sorry but package 'redream' is not available for your system (x86)
Package flags: noinstclean !all gles31 aarch64 x86_64
Your x86 flags: x86 64bit gl x11

Huh. It says x86 and 64bit but not x86_64. I might have wrote the flags wrong. I don't have one to test on, so when I wrote the change, I had to ask someone else to test it.

Initially I just wrote it with the x86 flag and asked the person to test. It worked. Then later, I confirmed the file was indeed a 64-bit executable, so I changed the flags to x86_64 and submitted the PR without further testing...probably that was not right.

@mitu or @buzz or someone who knows -- what should the flags be, here? Is noinstclean !all gles31 aarch64 64bit what it needs, then, or something else?

Crush

@sleve_mcdichael ah ok I see, ironically last time I set up a system I could also not install redream and they had to fix something also in the setup script. :-p

If you need any more info on my current system to help with this issue please let me know.

@Crush if you're comfortable testing, you could download:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/s1eve-mcdichae1/RetroPie-Setup/fix-redream-patch/scriptmodules/emulators/redream.sh

...and place it over your existing:

~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/redream.sh

(Or you can just edit your existing redream.sh manually, changing the rp_module_flags= line to use 64bit instead of x86_64.)

@sleve_mcdichael sorry I didn't notice the incorrect flags when I merged. Will check/fix later today.

@Crush you could also use standalone flycast, which will be faster than lr-flycast (and maybe than redream but it was only confirmed on pi4), there is a test install script available from https://github.com/cmitu/RetroPie-Setup/blob/flycast-standalone/scriptmodules/emulators/flycast.sh

Crush

@sleve_mcdichael would it still help you if i test that now that @BuZz will fix the tags?
@barbudreadmon thanks that may come in handy when i start setting up naomi2

Buzz will probably take care of it but it might get you up and running sooner if you don't want to wait for the fix to push through. I think 64bit is probably is the right flag to use here; looking at the other modules it's only used a couple of times, but it is used outside this particular module, while x86_64 is not (not as a module_flag, anyway. Its use for other things like as a platform identifier in this same module is still fine, I think.)
