      Hi, does anyone know how to get this combo working? I have searched and found a thread with info on changing the sound to ALSA, I tried this as the Hifiberry is routed through the ALSA mixer but after changing the config the result was no sound and emulation was too fast. Can anyone help? Thanks.

        I have sorted it, anyone else with the same problem needs to do the following:

        sudo nano /boot/config.txt
        And scroll down to the bottom. If you see a line that says: dtparam=audio=on

        Disable it by putting a # in front.
        Then add:
        dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
        on the next line. Save the file.

        Next create /etc/asound.conf with the following content:

        pcm.!default {
        type hw card 0
        }
        ctl.!default {
        type hw card 0
        }

        Then go to: /home/pi/.reicast/emulators.cfg and change it to this:

        reicast-audio-alsa = "CON:/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh alsa %ROM%"
        default = "reicast-audio-alsa"
        reicast-audio-oss = "CON:/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh oss %ROM%"

        Save and reboot and enjoy!

        Also has anyone managed to get reicast to change to 16:9 aspect ratios? maybe i'll start a new topic for this.
