Dreamcast and Raspberry Pi3 B (Compiling flycast?)

[Peeteris]

Hello!

I'm using OC Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (OC settings below)

* gpu_mem=400
* kernel=zImage
* arm_freq=1370
* core_freq=520
* gpu_freq=520
* over_voltage=4
* force_turbo=1
* boot_delay=1
* sdram_freq=520
* sdram_schmoo=0x02000020
* over_voltage_sdram_p=4
* over_voltage_sdram_i=3
* over_voltage_sdram_c=3
* dtparam=sd_overclock=100

And using libretro core: lr-flycast. Many Dreamcast games run poorly, even though I remember them playing a fair bit better ~ 3 years ago. I guess at that time I used some sort of standalone emulator (reicast?).

Found info on the net that standalone flycast would be the best solution at the time, but it's not available for Retropie/RaspberryPi. Also found out that there are people who compiled this emulator for the Retropie by themselves.

Question is - how can I get standalone flycast on the Retropie? Should it be compiled and is that a hard/long process (not an everyday linux user) and something else to know before trying that? Or maybe somebody already have compiled it and have shared it?

Thank you!

Normally you'd compile it manually and add it as a separate emulator, but the current version doesn't compile on current RetroPie (Pi3/Pi4). You may wait until the new version of RetroPie (based on the Raspi OS bullseye) is released and the standalone flycast will be installable.
I've started working on a RetroPie module to integrate it, but due to some rendering bugs and the aforementioned incompatibility, I didn't add it to RetroPie proper yet.
