Dreamcast configuration setup

Postby zulu » Thu Nov 22, 2018 8:54 am

Hi guys,
I have tried to config the Dreamcast on RetroX and when I load the game it is just a black screen.

When I use Reicast it is working fine.

Maybe it's a bios configuration issue? I checked the documentation and can't find which directory to put the bios files in.

When I go to config and bios manager, there is no Dreamcast on the list.

Device: Nvidia shield tv
Firmware: Latest oreo

**
I have read a post back in 2017, it says no bios files needed for Dreamcast.
**

If anyone has gotten this to run, please help ty.

Must be a compatability issue with oreo. It is not loading either.

Hi Franco, maybe you can try to integrate the Reicast core of retroarch to run DC games... And I think you must implement Naomi and Atomiswave, both runs pretty good with the same core under ra. I've been making some comprobations and all my games runs now much better than they did in Reicast, for example ready 2 rumble 2 didn't worked in Reicast caused for a shadows problem and now runs super smooth in retroarch. All Naomi and aw ROMs I tried are completely playable, well... In resume... I really think you must give a look, there are a lot of important ROMs of those systems and the DC emulation couldn't be better in a shield TV.
