      Ok... I used a DualShock 4 and works awesome.

      It's ok, but the idea is use the cabinet controls. At least I can confirm that all the configuration it's ok.

      Maybe the thing is located in the IPAC imput/event things.

      :-)

        It's really strange.
        I think issue is on reicast code source.

        I found this, but they don't give solution :
        http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5275

        and this :

        put IPAC 2 on gamepad position...
        Can you try this?

          There is only 8 gamepad inputs, not enough for the Joystick and the Player 2.

          I'm ok with the gamepads. The best option is the cabinet controls, but I'll continue looking for that in the future.

          Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate your help.

            @dmanthing I was having the exact same problem as you, but I just double checked and all my file sizes appear to have copied fully. I cannot access the system manager either. Any other possible fixes?

              Are the games you have tried listed in the dreamcast compatibily list?

                I'm having the same issue. Was working before I updated reicast. Tried to uninstall and reinstall. Getting close to the same error as you in runcommand after trying to run system manager. I tried having keyboard plugged in as well as controller connected like you said and still not working for me.

                terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
                what(): basic_string::_S_construct null not valid

                  I know this is an old thread, just thought I'd use it instead of creating a new one. I'm having the same issues and need help.

                  I'm running RetroPie 4.1 on a RaspberryPi 3. When I try to load a Dreamcast Rom it just goes right back to the rom list. They are all compatible games, I've checked the list. I've tried multiple BIOS files. They are in the correct folder on the retropie.

                  I'm also not seeing the "system manager" selection in the Rom list. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. I've watched many tutorials on how to download or re download Reicast. But all those tutorials were on older versions of RetroPie.
                  So I'm not sure how to redownload it on 4.1.
                  Any help would be great. Just need games to play and I can't get past rom menu.

                    Looks like with an update to reicast j got it fixed.

                    The roms now play, however most games are moving in fast motion. The game play seems to be on 2X or 3X speed. I'll need to figure this out.

                        @hyell Hi, I am new with retropie/raspberry and I am having trouble with dreamcast too. I did what you wrote above, in addition updated from binary, from source, tried to change the controls several times (always changing the position of buttons), checked the BIOS (they are ok!), roms are in the correct/supported format...but it is not working.. "+Star Reicast" is there in the list of roms, followed by the rom, however when I start it , there is a time/date screen, I move/change the date and time, then I click "select" (green button) and it goes back to roms list. Please, do you have some idea to solve this? can you give me some light? [Raspberry Pi 3 model B Retropie 4.2v.]

                          I managed to get working via:


                          To get past the date/time screen, i needed my controller configured in Reicast.
