@Ecks The problem existed for a limited timeframe and it was an external factor at stake - not in RetroPie. The fact that you didn't experience it means you didn't run the installation at that particular time.

@g0nz0uk said in What seems to be the go to Pi4 Dreamcast emulator atm?: For some reason I don't get the download option for redream. What version of RetroPie are you using ? EDIT: seems like there's an issue with redream installation at the moment - see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26461.

Thanks for the input everyone. I've got a handful of working games and I'm happy with that for now. I have far more on my Linux tower RetroPie build that is more fit for this kind of thing.

Oh, forgot it is a stand-alone, that is true. I will try to register the analog pad to the d-pad using the script then. Thanks!

@mitu I did a lot of reading around in those docs, but since I didn't require a user/pass for access I didn't know how much of that I should cut out of the line so I browsed forums until I found an example of someone doing what I was trying to. Duly noted, though. Just another thing added to all the stuff I've learned about this stuff in the last couple months. After fixing that, Daphne works as well for me. I knew it was going to be some little minute detail. Thanks again, you're a lifesaver.

@Simrose My issue was solved by inolen and updated redream binary made available. Thanks Sim

@barbudreadmon said in Lr-flycast - Grandia 2 (Dreamcast) - Missing sound effects during combat: @zasx i recommend writing a report at https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues @Darksavior flycast is still slower than redream on pi4 after removing its workaround for mesa drivers ? I reported it and it's fixed (updated from source). Thanks!

@mitu thanks for your help I’ll look in to it . I’ll let you know how I get on .

@shavecat Please mind your language.

What game(s) have you tried? It could be a corrupted ROM, so try a few different games or try to find another copy of the game. Have you tried to remove the redream package and re-install from the latest binary? Also have you tried using the lr-flycast or Reicast emulators to run the game instead? Both can be found within the optional packages menu. When launching the ROM, hit a button to choose which emulator to use(once you have installed them). All three emulators run well on my RPI4 4Gb at stock speeds. Only other thing is to think your pi is throttling, have you any heatsinks/cooling? Are you using a case?

@mitu no problem, I’m working around it with the other emulator for now. I’ve not tested what it’s like but I’m sure I can hold on! Thanks!

@mitu gasp, that did it! Thank you very much, I had a hunch it was either memory card or video related and was trying to see if I could reinitialize the cards from within redream, but you can't. Oh well, thanks for helping me fix it!

@mitu Thanks that did solve it, was able to save emulator settings. Just uninstalled and then update retropie setup script =D

@inolen Yeah I though it would "just work" when I plugged it up but it wasn't. If I had thought to go to Redream website to see the keyboard mapping, that would saved myself a lot of time. All other emulators just worked (minus Daphne). Once I saw that mapping, I figured it out. It should have just used the mapping from emulationstation but whatever, it works now.

@roslof Did that, but nothing changed. I have no idea where else to look. Talk about frustrating.

@barbudreadmon thanks.

@anth87 said in Reicast not loading roms: my controllers dont work but will search forum Use the Configuration/Tools menu in RetroPie setup script, then go to the reicast entry and start the controller configuration script from there.

@quicksilver The stable build works fine but it has the menu bug. It's definitely something the dev changed.

I will guess that you must be using the latest retropie, and since the way reicast now handles joysticks, the reicast-joyconfig method commonly found on youtube that everyone is trying, no longer works. The docs need updating, but here is where I found the solution for my similar problem after first installing retropie on my pi3b+: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/24544/reicast-mapping-controllers-2020-version-stuck I think that thread should be stickied until the documentation is updated. Note that the bottom line for me was the reicast autoconfig (which uses es joypads) chose the wrong device id#'s in emu.cfg. The reicast-joyconfig did what it was supposed to for my 4 controllers, and created working evdev device files in reicast/mappings/. So all I had to do was change the bottom[input] part so the "players" lined up with the right "device id's". In my case I had keyboard=0, mouse=1, joyou dual arcade=2, joyou dual arcade=3, and xbox one s=4. I initially -1'd the keyboard and mouse, and had 3 players configured, but that didn't work at first (+start reicast wouldn't respond). I went back to emu.cfg and -1'd my player 3 (the second half of the joyou), and reicast responded fine showing both player controls... and games also worked 2 player. I haven't gone back and tested re-enabling player 3, but I wonder if having the dual arcade device may not work out with that. So bottom line, if you ran the joystick config script, you probably already know which device id #'s need a player # to go with them in emu.config [input] section (the rest get -1'd out). More than likely the proper working evdev files are already in your mappings folder, so after getting your 0 and 1 behind the proper = sign in emu.config you should be good to go.
