        No, you shouldn't - this will break the other systems that are working right now.

        Please provide the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and also a detailed (verbose) log from running a dreamcast game, as mentioned in that topic.

                Verbose log (if relevant):

                This is not a verbose log, just a normal log file. Make sure you toggle verbose logging in the runcommand launch menu when starting the game.

                    from the runcommand menu select "L" Launch with verbose logging

                    then using WINScp or PuTTy ... ssh into RetroPie and then log file is in

                    /dev/shm/run/runcommand.log

                    output will look something like this ... (i'm running Guilty Gear Isuka using lr-flycast)

                        I slept on it

                        There was nothing I could do , I tried a lot of things I think I completely ruined the whole RetroArch.cfg

                        I just decided to start from scratch with a fresh new start

                        I will be tweaking and orginizing my Pi all day

                        If I come across any issues I will post in the forums

                        Than you both for all the help

                        Appreciate it
