      Hi i am running RetroPie 4.2 everything is up to date and all so i thought i would try out some Dreamcast games since i got my new case with a tiny fan (cause i wanted to overclock) and also i am using a Pi 3 but after checking if Reicast was installed i started to load up some games to the system and yes i have the proper bios set up as well in my Pi but when i would do a reboot so everything would be loaded up the emulator doesn't show up in the list which i want to know if someone might have encountered this before and would give me some advice on what i should do.

      P.S. my Pi is overclocked to 1.3 GHz just in case someone wanted to ask what i have it at now.

        I'm pretty sure the bios wouldn't affect the listing of games within emulationstation. Let's get rid of the usual suspect first, what extensions are you using for your roms ? (reicast only supports .cdi or .gdi, NO .zip archive)

          @aryetis I know the extensions and i only convert my games to CDI format (because even though i don't own a Dreamcast anymore i still own about 30 games)

            @ecks Did you test those files with some other emulators (eg: nullDC for pc) just to check their validity ?
