@mitu That worked thank you!

@mitu Yeah, I figured it shouldn't have any effect on audio output. The only audio settings I've changed are in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf, where 2 is the number of my audio device:

defaults.ctl.card = 2 defaults.pcm.card = 2

@abj OK, solved. Upon reinstalling I got a message to copy the es_systems.gfg from the etc/ folder to opt/configs/all/emulationstation/

Thanks for your help! Be well!

A quick additional update:

I just changed the default emulator to lr-flycast in the launch menu, and tried a different game that wasn't loading, and it ran.... without disabling the game-specific override...

Tried another and that worked too. All with the correct bezels setup in that override.

Very strange, but up and running.

Thanks again.

@mitu thank you very much once again!
I updated RA yesterday, but will do again.
Strange that this .info-file gets corrupt sometimes and by far more often it has to be ok (Ratio Games load: Games do not = 8:2).

Thank you sir!

FYI: RetroArch has been updated once more to 1.13.0 (visible in changelog, not on the homepage)

Tinkered the whole weekend without any success.
I can activate crosshair when i choose "show lightgun options" in Retroarch but whatever i select (White, Red, .. ) it does not show up.
Also i can bind the controls to whatever, does not move an inch.

With Dreamcast Games it does work, but not with Naomi, i guess it is not possible and thats it.
Waiting for furher updates;)

@sirhenrythe5th Yes, that's what I have. Just won't play under lr-flycast
@sleve_mcdichael Redream plays it with no problems! Thanks.

@mitu I will try that, thank you !!!!

Aha! I see it was failing to find the BIOS - I didn't consider that because literally every other game has worked perfectly. dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin were both in there, but they were the wrong files. Have now replaced them and everything's peachy. Cheers for the tip :)

@heaven76 said in Very slow loading times on lr-flycast:

After that i tried using the quirks workaround as suggested by @mitu

What filesystem are you using on your SSD? ext4 or NTFS?
NTFS is no good.

@g30ff Thanks, I sorted it.

I was doing everything right with the m3u file but I forgot that when I update the emulator config file in Attract Mode to include m3u via the network I need to reset the whole system for the changes to update. Bit of a "d'oh" moment really. When it was previously loading only one disc it will have been picking up the .chd files themselves as they were similar in name.

@mitu said in Dreamcast/Naomi/Atomiswave no longer working.:

There are a few - glaring - errors in your configurations:

there is no /opt/openarena folder in a RetroPie installation, so your emulators.cfg files are wrong. You copied that from your previous installation, it's not compatible to the RetroPie installation, no wonder they don't work. Reicast doesn't support Naomi/Atomiswave ROMs and there is no lr-reicast in RetroPie (it's the former name for lr-flycast).

If you have created custom folder for Naomi/Atomiswave ROMs, then you should install lr-flycast and then copy the emulators.cfg, from the dreamcast system to your new system configuration. Make sure you have a corresponding retroarch.cfg in each config folder, containing

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/<FOLDER>/" #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

Gotcha. That's essentially what I did, since I have my ROMs on a USB drive, I just copied those cfg files. I didnt realize the dingus that had created that previous installation changed the directory structure (yet another plus to abandoning it).

Well I'm on the right path now (get it?) to fix it. Thanks for the help, yet again.

@BuZz

I tried to remove it but it causes retroarch to crash. Here's the log: https://pastebin.com/dFx4K74J

Let me know if you need me to do more testing !

Thanks for your time.

@mitu have tried source and binary packages. Will raise with libretro.

@obsolete said in Naomi Error 01:

Create a folder with the title of the game.
Put the rom inside.
Create a folder within the folder with the same name as the rom.
Put the CHD in the folder.

Working as a charm. Found out same solution after searching a few hours ^^

@andykt76 great tutorial thank you for doing this. I followed your steps for the PS1 lightgun setup and now I’m stuck on the guncon calibration screen in time crisis. I can’t seem to get it to move past this step, any suggestions or did I take misstep?

Thanks!
