[SOLVED] Redream redream.cfg does not exist

Cesarpuig

Hi.

I have retropie 4.4.18 installed, from an image here:

https://files.retropie.org.uk/images/weekly/

In a 4 Gb Raspberry Pi 4. Powered from an ATX source.

I have the problem that redream does not create or install the file redream.cfg,
there is a symbolic link, in the path /opt/retropie/emulators/redream.

This is the log that I create when I start a game:

I appreciate any kind of help.

A greeting and Thanks forward.

Remove the link (rm /opt/retropie/emulators/redream/redream.cfg), then reinstall the redream package. Check if the options file is saved/read correctly this time.

@mitu Hi.

Yes, the problem has been resolved.

Thank you very much again.

mitu

Good, let us know if you find any issues with the module. Given it's new and 'experimental' for RetroPie, any feedback is appreciated.

Nm I'll make a new thread. I just noticed the part on the bottom is a crash of some sort.

morph166955

I've tried the uninstall/reinstall 3 separate times now. I manually deleted both the configs/dreamcast/redream and emulators/redream folder as well. It never saves my configs on exit from the emulator.

morph166955

@morph166955 Ignore - Found the issue. For some reason dc_bios.bin and dc_flash.bin were 644 and would open properly. If set to 777 this works. I believe the problem is specific to flash.bin. I'm not sure why these need higher privileges.

@morph166955 I am having the same issue where my hotkey (Select) + start is not exiting me from Redream. I am pretty new at all this... can you walk me through how you changed from 644 to 777 so I can see if that works for me as well?

@tiffanitza said in [SOLVED] Redream redream.cfg does not exist:

Select) + start is not exiting me from Redream

Redream is not a retroarch emulator so this combo will not work. You'll need to enter the redream menu and map a key to exit or just exit through the redream menu (I do the second option because I don't like just one key being used for exit)

tiffanitza

@quicksilver thanks I saw that... but I am having issues now with mapping from the redream menu. It will work once, but the key(s) that I mapped for exiting the emulator won't save. I saw in another thread that is an issue for others as well.

@tiffanitza I had that issue before, what I did was after mapping my controller I went back to the redream main menu and hit exit to return to ES once there re-launch Redream It should save

joesnow81

@tiffanitza I had exactly the same issue. I could edit the controller config in redream and assign a button to exit the emulator but it only worked once. When I went back into redream the button was set back to none. I ran the command chmod 777 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/dc/dc_boot.bin and chmod 777 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/dc/dc_flash.bin

Now when the button is set and I exit redream it is saved. Works every time now and even after reboots and power downs.
