      @quicksilver btw I did test with your binary, but it won't launch the game. In the runcommand log, I get..

        @rejesterd what version of raspbian is your pi 3 on? Or you using an old image?

            @rejesterd do you have any more info about the crash? I've not heard of a crash from this game in ages, but would love to see the stdout after it crashes if you can snag it. To note, I pushed a fix a few nights ago that addresses a silly shader compilation error (literally, a typo) that'd been hanging around for a few weeks and effected some games with fog.

              Then a binary compiled for the 3b model won't work, since it uses the legacy video drivers.

                I’m on the way home from work I can try to get the information you need if someone can walk me through how to obtain it.

                  @tackett1980 he's referring to the crashing behavior on redream not reicast.

                    Well, I gotta quit for the time being (I'm so sick of this game now lol), but here is what I've learned.

                    It consistently crashes in reicast every time when you reach the second stage (and in rare instances, it will crash even before then). The runcommand.log shows:

                    Parameters: 
                    Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh alsa "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/Marvel vs. Capcom 2.chd" 640 480
                    ALSA: underrun occurred
                    ALSA: underrun occurred
                    /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh: line 35:  7380 Trace/breakpoint trap   "$rootdir/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast" "${params[@]}"
                    

                    Note that if I run the game in reicast with sound disabled, the underrun messages go away, but the crash still occurs and the last line in the log is the same. So I don't think it's related to audio. I added these details to issue #1684.

                    In redream, the crash is not as consistent as you advance through stages (I made it to stage 3 many times and the game never crashed). However, I am able to get redream to crash pretty consistently right away if I just rapidly press B to select my characters and the game mode (turbo or normal). Doing that rapidly causes a crash before match 1 begins. So I reported that to inolen as issue #967. Hopefully he can fix it for redream. Not sure how much attention it will get from the reicast folks, as it's an old issue.. seems like they thought it was fixed back in July, but apparently not (or this is just a new crash profile).

                    Cheers.

                        My pi3 has an older version of reicast and I was able to make it to the 2nd stage without crashing. You might be able to take my reicast binary and swap it out on your pi.

                        https://mega.nz/#!9ZBBjSCZ!DEetDT-HYLEdByt5o2xYcv5uW3kb8HiiuO7yApzgX6U

                        Place it in:

                        /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/
                        

                        I would recommend backing up your reicast binary first before replacing.

                        I replaced my binary with yours, however yours is different.

                        On mine if I push start reicast, it sends me to a black screen that I can enter options for reicast itself or boot to the Dreamcast bios.

                        Yours does not give me that option. When I push start reicast it goes directly into the Dreamcast bios menu.

                        Why?

                            Oh ok, how do I get it off of what I assume is in interpreter mode? It’s super slow.

                              @tackett1980 Im not sure why its running slow, could be some incompatibilities with your current settings IDK. Its not slow for me.

                                In ~/.reicast/emu.cfg, you need to make sure Dynarec.Enabled = yes. If it's set to 'no', that means it's in interpreter mode.

                                  @tackett1980 Can you post the contents of your emu.cfg?

                                        @tackett1980 Try /home/pi/.reicast, it's a hidden folder.
