      Since Flycast plays Atomiswave and Naomi hardware, which are arcade boards, is this configurable as an Arcade category core? For example, I would place Metal Slug 6 arcade with the rest of the bunch instead of Dreamcast.

        @greenhawk84 yes.

        1. Add the line
        lr-flycast = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-flycast/flycast_libretro.so </dev/null --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
        

        to your /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/emulators.cfg.

        1. Move the rom to the roms/arcade folder.

        2. Restart Emulationstation, click the game name in the arcade list, pull up the runcommand menu, select emulator for ROM, lr-flycast should be in the list, select it, and launch.

        I assume you have or know how to set/activate runcommand. if not, go to config menu of emulationstation, select "run command configuration" and make sure "launch menu" is enabled.
