Reicast issues

HSlicker

I'm not able to get reicast to play any games. I can "start reicast" to get to the clock and memory card settings just fine. If I try to play a game the screen just goes black for a moment and goes back to the list of games.

Pi Model or other hardware: B+
Power Supply used: CanaKit 5V 2.5A
RetroPie Version Used: 4.2.1

@HSlicker You need the BIOS files installed. Read the docs ffs!

HSlicker

The bios files are installed and md5 verified. I have tried a couple different versions but the result is the same.

AlexMurphy

@HSlicker What version of RetroPie are you running?

HSlicker

Retropie version 4.2.1 as started in the original post. I have dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS.

I have tried with both of these combinations:

dc_boot.bin = e10c53c2f8b90bab96ead2d368858623
dc_flash.bin = 0a93f7940c455905bea6e392dfde92a4

dc_boot.bin = d552d8b577faa079e580659cd3517f86
dc_flash.bin = 74e3f69c2bb92bc1fc5d9a53dcf6ffe2

I verified the md5 according to this link https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Dreamcast

I was under the impression because I could access the clock and memory card settings and such that bios was installed correctly.

AlexMurphy

@HSlicker Are the md5 sums correct?

HSlicker

@AlexMurphy Yes

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/BIOS $ openssl md5 dc_flash.bin 
MD5(dc_flash.bin)= 74e3f69c2bb92bc1fc5d9a53dcf6ffe2
pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/BIOS $ openssl md5 dc_boot.bin 
MD5(dc_boot.bin)= d552d8b577faa079e580659cd3517f86

AlexMurphy

@HSlicker Well then, it should work!

HSlicker

@AlexMurphy

The errors as stated in original post from runcommand.log have something to do with "OMX: underrun occurred" and an error on line 88 of reicast.sh.

AlexMurphy

@HSlicker and what is in that line 88?

HSlicker

@AlexMurphy

From file /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh

Lines 86-88

else
    "$rootdir/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast" "${params[@]}" >/dev/null
fi

@HSlicker Without getting all up on your bee-snez... I would say you have gone rogue at some point. Somebody has done something as a root user. I recommend re-setting the permissions via the setup script. If you need help let me know.

Well, I can see why AlexMurphy got banned. Rude and unhelpful in the extreme.

I'm having the same issue.

@trumad i think at this point it would be a good idea to just start a new thread (filling out the info requested in the sticky), and just put a reference link to this [dead] thread.

going into a bit more detail on your setup, what you're tried, etc. can also be helpful when troubleshooting something like this.

best of luck.
