      Ubuntu 20.04 switched to python3 by default, so the dependencies are no longer available. Until this gets fixed in the scriptmodule, you can try lr-flycast for Dreamcast games.

              @oskeeeddie this is a game that uses WinCE and is extra demanding. Sound stuttering probably means the game is not running at fullspeed. Reicast doesn't support WinCE games last I checked, so flycast is your only option at the moment. Your computer may just not have enough power.

                Try switching the alpha sort mode in options to the faster less accurate mode

                    @oskeeeddie i would use flycast as detailed. Did you try the option i mentioned?

                    A log will be needed to help further.

                        One game I cannot get to work even with flycast is Hydro Thunder. I get a black screen after the Dreamcast logo.
