Dreamcast mvc2 crashing at stage 2
-
Ok sir I made it up to the very end where you are asking me to run these two lines.
It says not such file or directory, however.
My reicast.sh is not in the reicast root directory, it is in reicast/bin/reicast.sh
Ok I ran the cat on it from the bin directory, but the output is enormous and I’m not sure how to get it from the pi to here on the forums unless I take a picture of it or something.
edit:
Ok I think I'm following what your doing here. I had to google what the cat command did but here it is.#!/usr/bin/env bash # This file is part of The RetroPie Project # # The RetroPie Project is the legal property of its developers, whose names are # too numerous to list here.

@tackett1980 Sorry about that.. yes, the reicast.sh in the reicast bin folder is what we want. To complete your journey toward the dark side, do the following:
cd ~/ sed 's/\/bin\/reicast\"/\/bin\/reicast_49046ae\"/g' /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh > ~/reicast_49046ae.sh chmod +x reicast_49046ae.sh sudo cp reicast_49046ae.sh /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/ sudo cp /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emulators.cfg ~/emulators.cfg.old sed '/reicast/ i reicast-for-mvc2 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh omx %ROM%"' emulators.cfg.old > emulators.cfg sudo cp emulators.cfg /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/That's it. So now launch mvc2, and press a button on your controller as it's launching. This will take you to the menu where you can select a specific emulator for this ROM. Select 'reicast-for-mvc2'.
Also, note that if you install/update any dreamcast emulators via retropie_setup going forward, these custom settings will be overwritten. So maybe keep some copies of reicast_49046ae.sh and emulators.cfg in your home directory.
-
Alright friend. I thank you for all this hard work with me.
I did this, and it does come up in the select emulators, but it won’t boot. Just crashes back to the emulation station rom select screen.
I probably screwed something up somewhere
-
hm.
cat /dev/shm/runcommand.logTake a look at the log. Then launch the game with your default reicast emulator (reicast-audio-omx, and we can compare the logs.
-
OK,
here is the runcommand with the default reicast.

@tackett1980 - Probably worth taking a look at the modified files..
cat /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast_49046ae.sh cat /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emulators.cfg..just to make sure they look right. Also..
ls -al /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/..would confirm that the new binary is there, and it's not 0 bytes in size.

Ok this is the issue, the reicast_49046ae.sh is 0 bytes.
LOL what did i do wrong?
-
Maybe the reicast.elf wasn't built..
ls -al ~/reicast-emulator/reicast/linux/If you don't see it there (or it's also 0 bytes in size), then try the build again (i.e. the steps up to, and including, 'make -j4'). When it finishes, scroll up in the terminal window and look for ERROR or WARN messages.

ok I will run it again. The elf file is indeed there and it is about 50mb.

Yeah, 50MB is in the ballpark.. as long as it's not zero. Mine is about 60MB, for reference.
When the new build finishes, try these steps to copy it to the reicast bin folder instead:
cd ~/reicast-emulator/reicast/linux/ cp reicast.elf reicast_49046ae chmod +x reicast_49046ae sudo mv reicast_49046ae /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/ ls -al /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/After you run that last 'ls -al' command, the output should look like this:
$ ls -al /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/ total 120972 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 26 09:43 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 25 14:34 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 61917760 Feb 25 15:37 reicast -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 61918028 Feb 25 16:59 reicast_49046ae -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1263 Feb 26 09:43 reicast_49046ae.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10956 Feb 25 14:34 reicast-joyconfig -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1247 Feb 25 14:34 reicast.shThe 'reicast' and 'reicast_49046ae' files should have the same permissions (-rwxr-xr-x), and be approximately the same size.
I'll check up on this tomorrow. Welcome to the wild west.

Thanks for all your help, I am also going to hit the sack for the night.
I have two questions:
1: would this be easier to accomplish some of this in winscp when possible rather than doing it all with terminal commands?
2: would it also be easier to just uninstall the reicast entirely and build this one as the soul emulator? If I cant get the game working I will likely just delete the entire thing anyway so it doesn't really matter. I have no other dreamcast games Im interested in.
Again, I cant thank you enough for your help. You deserve like a fruit basket or something. If this forum had a rep feature or something Id be repping you into oblivion at this point.
-
No prob. Thanks for reporting it, because I've leared a lot. This game has issues in all 3 dc emulators. I still need to write up a report for the flycast folks to review.
-
Oh yeah, if you have winscp, you can just copy the emulators.cfg and reicast_49046ae.sh to your windows machine, edit the files there in Notepad++ (or whatever text editor you use), and then scp them back to the pi. I'm listing the terminal commands for my own benefit, as I'll likely refer back to these steps at some point.
-
I doubt your existing reicast installation is causing the issue you're having now. It just seems like you have different permissions than me, which didn't allow you to copy the reicast.elf to a new name (or to a location that's owned by the root user). So maybe just try the new steps I mentioned in my previous post.
-
-
Ok I will give this all another shot when I get home.
-
Ok, I think I’m just to stupid to do this correctly.
My permissions look the same, all the files are there and nothing is zero bytes anymore except now when I boot up to select emulators there are like 3 “reicast for mvc2” emulators to choose from and all 3 of them load no information according to the run command log.
I think I may just give up and uninstall the Dreamcast emulator all together.
Edit:
Hell with it, the original reicast won’t load either just crashes back to emulation station. -
@tackett1980 - hm.. the 3 mvc2 emulator options is wrong, for sure. Based on what you posted before, I think your files need to look like this:

Probably not you.. more likely a typo by me from earlier.
-
Also, if it still doesn't work after matching your .sh and .cfg files to the ones I just posted, maybe just try running the command right from the terminal on the pi:
/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast_49046ae.sh oss "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (USA).gdi"..and see what you get.
-
@tackett1980 - Gah.. another typo in my previous post.. please look at my latest output for reicast_49046ae.sh. That should be correct. The last 5 lines is really all you need to look at.
-
Ok I’ll Go back and give it a shot. I actually deleted everything already but that’s Ok might make it better to just start from scratch again.
-
@tackett1980 Hope it'll be worth the effort this time, as the hard part is typically getting the .elf to build (and you were able to do that). Just seems like a config issue now.
-
Roger that. Do I need to reinstall the standard reicast or just start manually building again like we were?
