Reicast Issues

Brandin

Recently I started trying to set up recast and the noms work and run fine, but whenever I try to run the "Start Reicast" rom to set up my digital memory the screen goes black. Im using a rpi3 and my retropie version is 4.4.2. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

@Brandin Can you provide the log file - /dev/shm/runcommand.log - after running this ? Also, please add more information about your system as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Brandin

Also what information do you need?

You need to use SSH to browse the files on your Raspberry Pi and get that file. The file is created after the launch of the emulator, just browse to /dev/shm and get the file, then upload it to pastebin.com

Also what information do you need?

The information requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, the best you can.

This is what the file said, Idk how to use pastbin but this is all the information I could find.

Parameters:
Executing: bash "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/+Start Reicast.sh"
OMX: creating 3 buffers
OMX: audio output to 'hdmi'
OMX: underrun occurred
(It repeated "OMX: underrun occurred"about ten times but I deleted it other wise its flagged as spam)

Looks like you have a handheld setup. What's the resolution of the display ? Does it work when connected via HDMI ?

Brandin

This post is deleted!

Brandin

@mitu Im not too sure about the resolution, although I think it is 320x240.
I haven't tried it with an hdmi yet.

mitu

I suggest trying to do the setup over HDMI if you can. If I remember correctly, when you first run Start Reicast it asks you for the controller configuration, before the emulator is started, did you get over that step ?

Brandin

@mitu ok I'll get an hdmi cable, as for it asking me to config controls it never did. However prior to trying to run start reicast I set up the controll config in setup retropie settings.

@mitu It was just an issue with size! after using the cdmi it worked! Thank you so much!
