@SingingCoyote13 said in Is it possible to read Dreamcast/Ps2/Gamecube discs into an emulator directly via the DVD drive on Retropie/PC or need they all be dumped to a .cue/.bin/.chd/.cdi etc, and how do i dump these discs anyway ?: i was wondering if dreamcast ps2 and gamecube discs need to be dumped to a file for use with retropie pc version, or if they can be read via the dvd/br drives in pcs directly in some of the emulators ? As far as I know, pcsx2 can read the DVD drive directly, for reicast/dolphin, you'll need a disc image if they need to be dumped,. i believe dreamcast discs have a different layout than normal cds, can those be dumped with a regular dvd drive ? Or is it so that if someone wants to play these in an emulator he/she has to download official dumps of these discs ? with what program and drive do i need to dump any of dreamcast/ps2/gamecube discs anyway ? Look around for instructions on how to backup your discs, there are no 'official dumps' provided by the vendor/publisher (though they're plenty 'unofficial' ones). Here are some pointers: Wii/Gamecube - https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/ripping-games/ Dreamcast - http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=GD-Rom_Dumping_Guide

I don't think the SD card capacity has any role in this, more likely the emulator versions are different on the systems you're testing. Reicast seems to have issues in the latest versions with controller inputs - configurations that worked before are not working at all right now.

@hooperre Shame thanks :)

got it fixed - [input] MouseSensitivity = 100 VirtualGamepadVibration = 20 device1 = 0 device1.1 = 1 device1.2 = 1 device2 = 0 device2.1 = 1 device2.2 = 1 device3 = 0 device3.1 = 1 device3.2 = 1 device4 = 0 device4.1 = 1 device4.2 = 1 maple_/dev/input/event5 = 0 maple_/dev/input/event6 = 1 maple_/dev/input/event7 = 2 maple_/dev/input/event8 = 3 THE only thing now left to fix the lr-flycast... still after like five min' after the logo dreamcast and the sega logo , im getting a black screen looks stuck ( i can quit or go to retrorach okay ).... any help ? :) thanks

yes, it seems to me that mitu is right. That is not enabled for ARM devices

@quicksilver hey pal. Thanks for the advice! That did the trick. :) Cheers!

@sirhenrythe5th the pi4 with a arm cortex a73 and * TWO * videocoreIV GPUs. Comes with either 2gb or 4gb internal ram. Not really, I was trying to make a joke, not funny... Record of Lodoss war, no longer crashes. It is a big hunk of lag art once you get top-side, there are a lot more enemies and polygons. Still playable, (I OC'd for this one) Jet Grind Radio, with the option to turn off shadows in the GUI can get decent performance, but I imagine there are still those levels that run like butt. TimeStalkers, The analog deadzone seems to have been fixed with the latest update, as well as the connection being able sync into play, which is great, I might find some time for this one.

@ilkayefe said in Dreamcast reicast not starting: @Efriim Hi, I have good news, its worked. I have entered to settings.Thank you so much for your helps. Hi Ilkayefe, I have the same issues with the same joystick, please could you tell me how you solved the problem? Thank you

In this case, I don't know why it's not working. It's possible that I've added something else besides the step I enumerated in my previous post, but I don't think so.

Just in case anyone stumbles across this in the future, I never did get that to work correctly. I ended up wiping my card clean and starting over. This time it all works right, as far as I know, I did everything the same.

One hour ago I removed and then reinstalled from source and the same :(

@kientructayho source install is bugged for reicast currently. Best to use the binary version until it's fixed.

@RetroDuck Re-read the forum rules - there's no download links to ROMs or other copyrighted material.

@Drax98 when you set it up you have to set up a,b,x and y like a Super Nintendo controller not an xbox controller x and y are reversed and a and b are reversed. Set those up correctly and you wont have issues.
