Retropie dreamcast bios files update#
I’ve been able to have a Dreamcast game going on for several additional hours before some memory leak decides to confuse the Pi into crashing instead of just 1 or 2 hours, I now am able to get a good 4-6 hours in before a crash!Īdditionally, since the VMUs are no longer in memory while the Dreamcast is running, any saved games are written immediately and correctly to the SD card (instead of potentially being lost if the Pi crashes before the exit script can update your VMU files from the tmpfs). NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO PLACE YOUR BIOS FILES OR LINKS TO THEM IN A NEW LOCATION: /home/pi/.reicast/data/
Better stability, VMUs and emu.cfg and BIOS files now reside in /home/pi/.reicast Reicast new beta branch: free5ty1e/rpi2/vmus-in-home-dir Not sure if what is in place actually works, but it definitely should be brought out to an emu.cfg setting. If you WANT to perform a full / clean build, add a make clean command before the make command.įrameskip: No, I have poked around the code for frameskip and it appears to be somewhat implemented but disabled completely. If this is the only method that works for building Reicast for you, then here are commands to update and build the latest changes (this will also be faster as it will only recompile the changed files, so you will get updates in a matter of seconds instead of 5-10 minutes for a full build.) elf files copy over, your Reicast should be up to date.
If you didn’t see any errors there, and you saw the two. Sudo cp -v *.elf /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/ elf files over top of your existing installation:
Retropie dreamcast bios files install#
If that doesn’t do it for ya, here are some commands to build and install the latest Reicast. Or actually, you might just need to update your RetroPie-Setup repo! Try sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh and select the U Update RetroPie-Setup script option and then restart the Pi, and try building the Dreamcast emulator again. So, you might want to give it a go manually, without the help of the RetroPie-Setup scripts. Tried to compile using your newest script but it doesn’t compile saying that reicast.elf is missing.
