            Do you mean that there is no Dreamcast menu, or that the game doesn't load?

            Si

                OK @ituriel

                Have you installed Reicast from the RetroPie Setup? I don't think it is installed by default in version 4.

                dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin must be in /user/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
                The game's .cdi file has to be in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast

                Once you have the cdi in the folder and restart EmulationStation, the Dreamcast menu should now appear, but be warned Reicast is fiddly and has a number of issues including an issue where it slows over time.

                I tried using it for a few weeks, but ultimately it wasn't worth the effort, but this early last year when I was using RetroPie 3.8.
