I am looking for an older lr-flycast core for RPi3 B+ , if anyone has it, please share it. Thanks.

@chaoseffect said in lr-flycast new GitHub repository source for setup script?:

I have ports 1 and 2 set to "keyboard" in the RetroArch menu, and I think that's it for keyboard settings. The keyboard works fine for me for player 1, and I was just curious if this update would bring a core option for keyboard indices so that a separate keyboard could be used for player 2.

I think that's the RetroPad -> Emulator core part settings, i.e. the core expects a Keyboard type input from Port 1 (2), the Device -> RetroPad mapping is done by RetroArch.
Usually 1 keyboard can be used for 2 players (as explained here), but I'm not sure 2 keyboards can be used independently (via dev index, how gamepads are handled). This depends on the input driver used, I know some of them don't support it (like Windows winraw). RetroPie should use the udev driver, so it might be supported, but I don't have 2 keyboards right now to test.

@whereismax123 If i recall correctly you have to shoot at the bottom of the screen, which is a bit problematic, cause you cant aim too far down and not 1 pixel higher.
It would have been so much better if you could bind a button to shoot offscreen.

@romhackfanatic Yeah bangai-o stuttering is usually a lack of bios. You just need to download the dc bios, create a dc folder in retropie's bios folder, and then put dc_boot and dc_flash inside it.

@emulatre71

From the RetroPie Docs for the lr-flycast :

Accepted File Extensions: .cdi .chd .gdi for Dreamcast ROMs, .zip for Naomi/Atomiswave games.

Check also the hash of your bios file, it must be the same with the one in the RetroPie Docs.

@donmonii Did you fix the problem? I recently encounter the same problem.

@bluestang I am curious to know what exactly is using Vulkan right now on Pi4?

@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 :-(

@greenhawk84 yes.

Add the line lr-flycast = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-flycast/flycast_libretro.so </dev/null --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"

to your /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/emulators.cfg.

Move the rom to the roms/arcade folder.

Restart Emulationstation, click the game name in the arcade list, pull up the runcommand menu, select emulator for ROM, lr-flycast should be in the list, select it, and launch.

I assume you have or know how to set/activate runcommand. if not, go to config menu of emulationstation, select "run command configuration" and make sure "launch menu" is enabled.

Just an update on this, even after installing the new Flycast, I still get what I can describe as "screen tearing" or glitching when motion is happening. This isn't consistent, so maybe it's related to framerate drops?

I am using a Pi4 8GB without any mods, just stock settings for performance.

@mitu

Turns out I'm a complete dope.

I figured out what I've been doing.

I thought I had been setting the rendering resolution of the game.

What I had actually been setting was the Pi video output resolution over HDMI to the monitor.

So in the end I now have my games running properly. They are being rendered at 640x480 in the emulator as they should, and I'm outputting dreamcast games at 720p to get a bit more performance. Every other system I left at the default output of 1080p.

@kounabi22
They did the correction in flycast and not lr-flycast for now. I don’t think you need to change your rom or states.

Look for updates

New edit:
Done, they fixed it in the last lr-flycast update in RetropPie ! Yeah!

@noxx2 said in Dreamcast Controller not working (flycast):

unfortunately cannot learn the controller on the site

Don't understand what that means.

in wich file are the controller setting stored?

RetroArch input configurations are stored in \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch-joypads, each controller has one .cfg file named after the controller.

Thank you Mitu

i will try that now

@barbudreadmon

Hi barbudreadmon

Also thank you to you for explaining that Virtual Cop for Dreamcast needs a more beefy system

Really appreciate it

Updated RetroPie-Setup to 4.6.9 and flycast is finally working !

Thank you very much for your help ! :)

Submitted a PR: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/11388 .

Should address https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues/562 and related issues in the X11 version of RetroArch for multiple lightguns.

Closing this now.

@ReadyPlayaWon

Thank you for your advice ReadyPlayawon

I actually do already have the Dreamcast version loaded in my Pi , I just wanted to try the Naomi version due to I have never played the arcade version and sometimes there are little things here and there they may have changed or become different

Just something about the Arcade version games I enjoy better , possibly because the infinite amount of credits by coins possible , or the service menus to change the lives , difficulty and such .. I don't know for sure ... Call me weird I guess

I do enjoy your input and advice , Thank you for that

Maby this version on Flycast is a bit wonky and needs more configuration within the core itself by the developers
