How well do the unofficial retropie images for the pi4 function?

No, I was referring to the Naomi arcade emulator using the lr-reicast core not for Dreamcast roms but for the Naomi arcade Roms.

Yes, that's what I was referring to. There's no lr-reicast, it got renamed to lr-flycast in May last year.

Oh ok I didn’t know that. So there is no longer a standalone reicast core in the experimental packages?

There's a standalone emulator reicast, still present in RetroPie's packages, but that's no a core. core = RetroArch core, a libretro based emulator, like all the lr-.. cores. I'm not sure that Reicast (standalone) supports Naomi though.

Ok I think I understand what your saying. I’m going off a YouTube video of a guy supposedly using reicast for naomi arcade rom emulation. Would it be ok to link that video here?

Does it show if it uses standalone reicast or lr-flycast in the video ?

Naomi support can be hit or miss. Might as well run the dreamcast versions on redream if you have a pi4.

@mitu

He uses a lr-reicast which is what you said was renamed to Lr-flycast yes?

Oddly he has lr-flycast listed separately.

He does plug an unofficial image which is why I was kind of hesitant about linking the video.

@tackett1980 A trash 3rd party group renamed it to lr-reicast for some reason with their images. It doesn't officially exist. There's only reicast and lr-flycast.

@Darksavior

That makes total sense then.
