Reicast - BIOS not found

[geese howard]

Here ‘ s what i did:

Latest retropie build 4.8;
Updated retropie script;
Installed Reicast;
Checked BIOS sha according retropie docs;
Put dc_flash.bin and dc_boot.bin in BIOS/dc folder (home and root folders);
Built game list with chd and cdi games;
Configured reicast inputs.

Flycast works ok, however it needs a pi4 to run smooth (i have a pi3+).

Any tips?? What more can i do??

Can you post a log file from the emulator - get the contents of /dev/shm/runcommand.log and post them here between code tags.

Can you try re-installing reicast ?

I have the same files under BIOS/dc and I can run Dreamcast games fine. Did you check if the checksums are correct for the BIOS files ? I tested the SF III 3rd Strike (.gdi format) and it worked without issues.

@mitu
I ve tried to reinstall, no sucess...always the same message "BIOS not found".
With daytona usa, soul calibur both .chd, the error persists.

dc_boot .bin - e10c53c2f8b90bab96ead2d368858623
dc_flash.bin - 0a93f7940c455905bea6e392dfde92a4

BIOS/dc folder (both home and root folders) with this files.

I dont know what to do...

The checksums seem ok. Is the message from your runcommand.log complete ? When I run a game, I see where the BIOS files is searched and when it's been found:

@mitu said in Reicast - BIOS not found:

ls -l $HOME/.reicast/data

The log is complete....
I ll try to do a nfresh install on another sdcard and try to configure it before any update.

@mitu

flashed retropie image from official site, configured keyboard and wifi, installed reicast and put bios on dc/bios (home folder) and...worked!!

Update image doesn´t works a good choice.
Now i ll do it in my main SD card.

Thanks anyway!
