Reicast PSO not saving serial [SOLVED!]

@stoo
yep, worked and i kept my original char. -
@stoo
not sure if i need a new thread, but do you have any suggestions on how I can improve the performance of REICAST? It is pretty choppy when trying to play. Thanks! -
@endersenigma overclocking will help somewhat. Although even with overclocking a lot of games will be out of the reach of the pi 3. Also it seems that the version of reicast that retropie is using is somewhat out of date so there may be some compatibility issues there as well. (Don't quote me on that last part, someone who knows more about it might be able to weigh in).

I have toyed with some overclock and have the game running better than before. There are some minor overlay issues that are manageable. The bigger issue I have is the choppy-ness (sure, ill make it a word) at seemingly random times during gameplay. it seems like framerates drop down to single digits, though I do not know how to show FPS on the Reicast. -
@endersenigma unfortunately some games are going to slow down especially when there is a lot of activity on the screen. With my overclock I can play crazy taxi for a bit without issue. But once I get to the first hill with a lot of cars it really slows down. Dreamcast emulation is really out of the reach of the pi 3 but it can handle some games ok with minimal slow down. Don't expect most games to run well. If you find some secret to making dynmite cop run well you let me know though ;)

I dropped the framebuffer res down to 320 X 240 and got a much better performance out of it. -
Can you play pso online with reicast? I know it's not really OT but I think it's not worth making another thread about a simple question ;)

@xvo
I have not tried, the original pso servers went down a looooong time ago. If you find a 3rd party server that works on retropie let me know. :) -
@endersenigma
I will give it a try, sylvarant and schtserv are still up ;) -
@xvo Reicast doesn't have BBA emulation support. Demul on Windows is the only DC emulator that can play online, as far as I know.
There are premade disc images for Sylverant called PSO DC Ives Pack 2.0. They're all bugfixed, online and offline capable and ready to go. Not linking them here, obviously.
I'm sure there are other private servers out there too.
