Dreamcast mvc2 crashing at stage 2

Ignore my last post that build was an install from binary.

here is the actual build log you are looking for that functions:

@tackett1980 I've asked about this on the reicast discord server, since rpi3 seems to have trouble with the newer jit-related features (which, not surprisingly, were added to address this very issue with crashing). But again, I don't see any technical reason why it shouldn't be able to build on rpi3, so hopefully we'll get it working with a little guidance from the developers. I'll let you know what I find out.

Sure thing. I appreciate it sir, thanks for all the help to this point.

@tackett1980 I just realized I forgot to ask for the output when you run..

md5sum ~/RetroPie/BIOS/dc/dc_*

? Just want to be sure we're working with the same bios files.

What bugs me is that you were able to build the reicast.elf before manually (using my original steps). But it wasn't launching the game, and was instead crashing back to emulationstation. So I'm wondering if it would have worked if you were using different bios files at the time.

Hey, ok I took a pic of the output let me know if you can’t read it or something:

@tackett1980 Yeah, your dc_flash.bin is different than mine, and you don't have dc_nvmem.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ md5sum ~/RetroPie/BIOS/dc/dc_*
e10c53c2f8b90bab96ead2d368858623  /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/dc/dc_boot.bin
73a35e6844a89cda035943f03ad7306b  /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/dc/dc_flash.bin
ec6f52b681b2220d0c363abec77af8f2  /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/dc/dc_nvmem.bin

Due to forum rules, I can't share a link to these, but I would bet if you search Google a bit, you'll be able to find them. If you can get the same bios files installed, I think that previous reicast.elf you built will work.

@rejesterd

On the pi3 the dc_nvmem is required to be in a different path. It is in the directory we talked about previously with the shortcuts to the other bios files. I have the file it’s just in the other directory.

I’ll google around and see if I can find the files. I’m going to be moving to a pc build soon so all of this will be moot, but I would like to get this thread closed up with an answer for future users who stumble on it.

@tackett1980 Cool.. you know, I'm just gonna say the difference in bios files might be a wild goose chase.. so only search for mine if you're really bored :P Hopefully the reicast folks will address the build issue with the stable branch on rpi3.
