@mitu - Thanks a lot for the reply. I was pretty concerned this was a config setting I had stepped on somewhere. Sounds like it is just something I will have to deal with for now and maybe a future Flycast or Retropie build will address it.

Thanks for this @inolen!

This morning I tried:

-Sega Rally - Ran great
-Kiss Psycho Cirus - Ran around in the first room but seemed to be fine!
-Puzzle Bobble 4 - Playable but with a bit of slow down (it seems so simple too...)
-Super Runabout - Seemed to be full speed but with intermittent stutter.

@g30ff Thanks. The latter was it. Much appreciated!

However: i had no fun with DC on a Pi3(B).
A Pi4 should be highly recommended for this system.
Code Veronica is no CE Game and will work great. On a Pi4 :)

@pbc You have either to ask the creator of your image, or do a fresh install of the offical retropie-image.
We dont support 3rd party-images here.

Is it going any great?

@greenhawk84 Sorry currently my pc has broken down so i backed up Retropie and installed Raspbean so i could continue to work from the home office, so all i got left for gaming momentarily is my RPI0 which i turned into a Sega mini :-(

@g30ff
That’s worked perfectly. Many thanks.

@rva-818x-laystar The only game i found running better than its DC counterpart is Marvel VS Capcom 2
the rest either runs the same or worse in the case of Dead Or Alive 2

@iandaemon
I just found out someone posted an Alimentation Schematic/PCIB plan for it online for a USB version of it, but nobody bothered to make one yet for some reason:

@mitu Thank you...
it works like a charm!!

And I was just planning on doing a Dreamcast only image! Keeping tabs on this one for sure!

@mitu really?

would it have killed you to say the same thing that youve said to this guy?

Not supporting 3rd party images isn't just about software licencing issues - although that's reason enough.

We can't know if they've changed anything from the standard image and any suggestions may unwittingly break things we don't know about.

Imagine someone had suggested a fix to your problem that overwrote a custom change in the 3rd party image and it had stopped the whole system working.

try mupen64plus-gliden64. it should be the best performance and compatibility in general, but be warned that it's quite normal for n64 to exhibit poor performance on pi4, but several games can perform pretty well.

I tried uncommenting and changing the hdmi_group and hdmi_mode options in the config.txt, but no audio improvement.....just poor video!

from what to what? i suggest a 1080p60 mode in your config.txt (please provide copies of all configs you edit.). any further lowering of resolution you need to do can be done via the runcommand, although personally i leave everything at 1080p.

please also provide /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg

@steffenbrauner

Almost . But the Pi400 remains stable and stays cool enough.

@sirhenrythe5th Ill Uninstall ReDream and try Flycast and see if the same thing happens

@awe3

And make sure you are not trying to play a Dreamcast WINCE game ... because they won't work in any Dreamcast Emulator in the Raspberry Pi.

@luckyluca said in Pi400 slow stuttery dremcast redream emulationI:

Regarding overclocking, do you know what the default gpu clock is for the pi400/pi4?

I think the default gpu_freq is set to 500 (Pi4), I assume is the same for Pi 400.
