      I've recently installed redream and have tried both gdi in subdfolders and cdi files but when launching a game I get a black screen and it takes me back to the menu.

      Strangely I can access the redream ui when launching some games and I can see the roms there with box art but the same thing happens when I try and launch from the ui.

      I've tried reicast and I'm getting the same issue. I thought it may be the roms at first but I've tried multiple roms from different sources with the same issue.

      Here's a log which is showing a couple of errors. Could be a renderer issue or bios issue maybe?

        Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, especially what RetroPie version used.
        Redream doesn't need a BIOS to work, though looking at your log I don't think outputting in 4k is viable for any emulator in RetroPie.

          Hi, given the line bios_boot failed to copy bootfile I believe the rom you're using is corrupt. It's failing to find the 1ST_READ.BIN on the disc.
