Suggestions on fix!. Supply useful information here relevant to your environment:. Numerous factors contribute to things not working, this is good starting info for finding a fix for your problem. Check here for checksums of known-good Dreamcast BIOS files, compare with your BIOS files.

The Dreamcast game compatibility list is linked on the wiki here:. Trying more than one game will help pin the blame on individual ROMs vs. Your BIOS vs. Reicast itself not working. Check /tmp/runncommand.log after you try to run Reicast. It should contain information relevant to what failed. I also have valid bios files in valid directory and valid roms.

All reicast dows is takes me back to rom list. PS tried some games from compatibile list and always the same result. The funny thing is that reicast worked before last RetroPie update. Edit: SystemManager runs fine And in my /tmp/runncommand.log i have something like ' line 76. (didnt memorize all) EDIT2: it is this line 'aoss '$rootdir/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast' $params -config config:image='$ROM' /dev/null' EDIT3: Complete reading of runncommand.log /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh: line 76: 2358 Trace/breakpoint trap aoss '$rootdir/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast' $params -config config:image='$ROM' /dev/null. Just my two cents.

Today I updated to 3.8.1 and Reicast died. None of the roms will load any more and System Manager will not launch either. I have recopied over my bios files that were working and tried alternatives. My runcommand.log states the following: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logicerror' what: basicstring::Sconstruct null not valid /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh: line 76: 4550 Aborted aoss '$rootdir/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast' $params -config config:image='$ROM' /dev/null I have also tried completely removing reicast and reinstalling with no success.

Any help would be appreciated. Hi Seeing as I am using the latest (I have double checked and confirmed that what is on my system is the same as the one you linked to), could you perhaps help me understand what it is this error is exactly telling me?

Especially since the same error is thrown up for roms that previously worked and the System Manager. UPDATE: So it would seem that this issue is only affecting certain roms. For example, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat Gold and Crazy Taxi 2 no longer work but Marvel Vs Capcom 2 and Dead or Alive seem unaffected.

Is there some sort of deeper log I can check out?? I'm desperate. I have an Attract mode installation in a Pi3, and Reicast don't let me pass the date&hour screen. I changed the ' file for avoid the autoconfig , and now reicast don't work (return automatically to the menu). So I decide to make an new installation with RetroPie clean install (without Attract mode) in another microSD. But now the Dreamcast emulator don't run even in the new installation.

Clean install case. Clean install.

Set controllers (IPAC 2). I just copy the BIOS files. Run Systemmanager. The emulator goes back to menu screen. Attract mode case.

I save the original original file from the clean copy. I overwrite the file. I run Dreamcast emulator and it doesn't work.

I use Sftp for copy the files to the Pi. I supose had good BIOS files because I saw the date & time screen before.

What can I do? Hello, It can be the same issue of pablo. In attract mode case.

When you say 'it doesn't work', what do you mean? You can pass the date/hour screen?. when you can't pass date/hour screen, can you move the cursor?

I can be a controller issue. Maybe it's not config to work with reicast. Can you check on the config directory of reicast if you go the good configuration file for your controller?

(/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mapping). Your controller is on: /dev/input/ and have a name starting with 'js'? Hi 1- Doesn't work = emulator don't run. Since I changed the file, the emulator don't start. I selected a game or Systemmanager, and then return to main screen.

This is now my priority. I can't go to the date/hour screen!

2 - I can't move the cursor.

Pi 2 is required. Audio is choppy and not great, and degrades the longer the emulator is in use. Restarting the emulator (and ultimately the Pi) may become a good idea after a couple hours of gameplay.

There is a memory leak somewhere in the Reicast code. Low screen resolution are recommended to get best performance. Performance suffers if HD resolutions are used.
