@Rameshsalvi Please don't open multiple topics for the same question. I've merged the topics into a single one.

@MaximStroud Have you tried adding the bios files and boot it that way ? Can you provide the log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) taken after starting the game ? What other games have you tried running ?

thank you so much! didn't knwo that only certain versions of MAME are supported in retropie :)

@kwjamesblond said in Reicast not running games.:

@gomisensei
Does Reicast even work on the retropie? What are the original names for the bios and flash files? Is there a best way to copy the files over, I just copied them in Ubuntu?
I got ecco the dolphin to work but not sonic

if you got ecco to work, then its almost definitely a problem with the sonic files, the bios is fine.

I m sorry to say ,but you need to go through a fresh install of retropie. this happened with me and i tried all different kind of ways but at the end i had to take the trouble.
All the best.

@help-me-please can your pocket juice supply a regulated 5V at 2.5A? That worries me.

My problem is fixed, just had to connect to wifi, get things fixed and i'm done! Thanks for da help!

@cash513 The image is to stretched to recognize the program that gives you this error. However, it seems the file is an .img file and this is the file that you can use with Win32DiskImager.
Start Win32DiskImager, choose your sd card partition and then browse to the folder where this file is stored and choose this file to be written to the sd card.

That’s handy to know, when I moved my lad’s system from a zero to a pi3, I had issues with saves. Thanks

I downloaded it.

@theimmortal Please don't spam the forum just because you didn't get a reply within 5 minutes. Plus you should maybe provide some of the information requested as to your set up and the emulator you are using.
Edit: Don't bother, no one is going to help you with that attitude.

@mitu Thanks for the help. Sorry for the bad move of asking for support on another image. Take care.

Try to run these commands separately:

sudo apt-get remove --purge lxde*

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get autoremove

reboot

@jmanricecakes Hello. How do you fixed your drivers going where?

@y0da oh. You should also be able to find the option inside the "other settings" menu, isn't that the case?

You can select a different theme that doesn't use overlays as predominantly. What theme are you using?

@xtoddh which emulator? Try both the supergrafx and pce emulators. I agree with @jonnykesh it is most likely bad roms.

@eliteanorak Good luck!
