                @Hydro You need to run this from the command line.
                ln -sv fileThatDoesNotExist ~/RetroPie/roms/dreamcast/systemManager.cdi
                Then restart emulation station.
                You will then have the systemManager option in your dreamcast menu.
                Launch it. Erase and recreate your current VMUs...should show two.
                After that you should be able to save your games.

                    @Hydro Ah ok already there eh?
                    If its not launching then that means the bios are not in place.
                    You need to download dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin
                    They need to be put in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
                    or through windows file explorer \\RETROPIE\BIOS\
                    You should then be able to launch the system manager.
