      Just another tip. Press F4 and type...

      cd RetroPie-Setup
      sudo ./retropie_packages.sh reicastinput
      

      Configure your controller from this menu and try again.

        So this is a controller config issue you think? Even though the controllers are working for the other systems? An issue with the controller config for reicast alone would cause it to not even launch at all? What about using a keyboard? Does that not count? I've tried with keyboard plugged and and no go. Or do I need to try with another gamepad?

          "Could be". I just do some investigations on this topic.

            I'm not sure where to remove >> /dev/null from, I've assumed the script /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh

            in which case, there is no more output being given than was previously to the runcommand.log which follows: -

            pi@retropie:/dev/shm $ cat runcommand.log
            terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
            what(): basic_string::_S_construct null not valid
            /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh: line 76: 21330 Aborted aoss "$rootdir/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast" $params -config config:image="$ROM"

              Open /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh and edit line 69 and line 71. If there is no more output the input parameters or ini files are certainly wrong.

              So there are different things which can be tested:
              -run ./retropie_packages.sh reicastinput as described above to create a new controller config file
              -delete /opt/retropie/dreamcast/emu.cfg

                ./retropie_packages.sh reicastinput

                running ./retropie_packages.sh reicastinput has fixed it for me, or it's launching at least.

                E: Seems fine now, How peculiar.

                    also getting error on cd RetroPie-Setup
                    sudo ./retropie_packages.sh reicastinput

                    undefined

                      Worked for me as well. Settings controls through the supplied setup script worked for some odd reason. Games launch now. Only problem is when setting controls it asked for D pad 1 left and then up and then Dpad 2 left and up. Then asked for joystick left and up. It never asked for right and down for anything? Although Dpad seems to work fine, the joystick does not, only the up and down.

                        Your RetroPie-Setup script is not up to date and there are some controllers which crash reicast-joyconfig.py. It seems to be you have one of these special controllers.
