            Do the games also show up on the list underneath +Start Reicast?

            BTW: MDK2 works for me in reicast with some minor screen artifacts (I usta have that game for the PSX back-in-the-day)!

                  kk its fixed as far as i can tell following the above video works perfectly, just be sure to transfer the BIOS over wifi, was the main thing i did different and it eventually worked. give us a shout if anyone gets stuck ive looked at alot of stuff regarding this emulator.

                    @backstander hey buddy ty for all your help finally fixed it turned out youve gotta transfer BIOS'S over wifi, i think was the issue... about MDK2 i got it it works, but could i ask u play 5 mins of it for me, like after the skyfall bit u got a training section i think shoot 2 targets jump on 3 platforms open parachute then use the sniper. SNIPER for me wont work the screen has all graphical issues, seen on youtube ETAPRIME had the same issue was wondering if yours did get past this and if so, woudl u mind emialing me the roms location or the rom?? TYVM, honest wont take more than 7 mins

                      Great, glad you got it working! That's how I transfer them. I've never actually used the USB flash drive transfer method.

                      SNIPER for me wont work the screen has all graphical issues, seen on youtube ETAPRIME had the same issue was wondering if yours did get past this

                      I actually have only played it once a couple minutes. Just loaded the game up to see if it would run. I did the skyfall bit but didn't play must past that. I don't even remember seeing the sniper parts.

                      I did, however, play Shenmue last night for about 25 minutes. Experience described in this post:

                        That "Sniper Mode" bug is a known issue for Reicast. Check out their official compatibility list:
                        http://wiki.reicast.com/index.php/Reicast_Compatibility_List?wap2

                        I watched a YouTube video of someone on an Android phone using Reicast and they had the same issue (from 2014):

                        More information here and here (both are also from 2014):
