Wow, this is very impressive! Between this and the GameCube emulation support, I really may have to get a Series X one day to do this. Also, excellent work on the comprehensive tutorial man!
@@ArchadesGames I get this error "configuration override loaded" everytime i try to load a dreamcast ROM (I tried .gdi .chd .cdi ) I followed the guide for multidisc games as well, I use flycast core of course. I tried on both external usb and internal ssd. The other cores work well. I am on retroarch 1.10.3. I put all the bios required for naomi and DC in the system folder DC folder. Can you help me? It has got to do with the config folder? Your playlist is the best! thank you
@@ArchadesGames yes but it wasnt loading, now it loads but hotkeys button do not work on flycast. shall i cancel the entire config folder and re-do everything?
Most if not all of my DC .cdi files don't appear to recognize after I do a directory scan. Now I know why I can't play 90% of my DC library. Thanks for videos, AG 👍🏿
I had an issue with this core where all the graphics were glitched out and only certain elements were rendering onscreen while everything else was flashing white. It turned out that the Flycast emulator doesn't play nice with retroarch shaders. I had a sharp bilinear shader saved as a global preset which was causing the issue. Turned it off for Flycast and now, everything loads fine.
Thanks for the vid. Always love and follow your content. Any chance of helping us with Naomi, I’m trying to figure it out but I can’t get it to run. I am choosing the flycast core and I’m trying both zipped and unzipped, showing cue under the extension section and nothing. Please help. Thanks in advance
Thanks for all of these videos! One question, is there any way to get a microphone working in Flycast for games like Seaman or AFO? I see there's a way to set a controller slot to a microphone but can't get my headset mic to be recognized.
I found that RA didn't recognize my .gdi file at all. despite the bin and cue files all being present, it wouldn't run despite the game being recognized and getting the correct thumbnail art.
The speed and performance uodate is welcome but Sad that the XBRZ filter option is gone. All the 2D games...especially fighters are pixelated and the filters don't work the Flycast core.
Loving these guides. Anyone have issues applying shaders to Flycast? Tried a handful of simple shaders and keep getting rendering issues with most of the screen blacking out. This occurs with both retail and dev versions of 1.10 on my Series X.
Had also white logo's, white sceneries and a lot of other bugs with several CRT shaders. Now, the shaders are completely disabled and everything is fine. Since you can set the emulation on a higher resolution, the shaders are not really necessary anymore.
I love the emulator, but the only game I have issues with is Metropolis Street Racer. Thats only on the Retroarch side. The standalone Flycast emulator it works fine, but with frame drops.
Great tutorial and i am interested in using the texture packs. But my emulation disk is a HDD. I have a fast SSD as extra storage as Xbox data disk but windows cant read that disk anymore. Could i transfer the DC games with texture pack to the internal disk?
So, I was using the Retail version of Retroarch on my Series X. That recently got blocked by Microsoft, so I had to go back to Dev Mode. No big deal. I re-installed Retroarch then I re-set up all my directories, bios,states, etc..... Everything works like it used to, except the Dreamcast Emulator. Now, for some reason, a handful of titles kick back out of Retroarch after they begin to start up. Metropolis Street Racer, Jedi Power Battles, Test Drive Lemans, and Star Wars Pod Racing. Anyone else experience this with these particular games? Any ideas? I've tried different versions of the games, I tried Composite, VGA, and RGB settings, and I triple-checked all my bios files. Everything else for all systems are a go except these handful of Dreamcast titles.
@@ArchadesGames Yeah, I saw that video and I set it up. I just prefer it all on Retroarch. And with only a small handful of games doing this, I thought there might have been something in the settings I was missing for some games now from the last time I downloaded Xbox Retroarch. Thanks again for your tutorials.
I'm currently stuck in the middle of Flycast on Retroarch no longer working with games it previously had no problems with (Test Drive LeMans, Star Wars Jedi Power Battles, Hydro Thunder, Metropolis Street Racer) and using the stand alone Flycast that doesn't allow for save files to be on USB (and risk losing them on a Flycast future update). I've got all the games working on the Flycast that's not in Retroarch, but the VMU settings are terrible there in comparison to Retroarch.
I have a question : what about naomi or atomiswave roms ?? I think Flycast can run those games ??? Do you have some advise for the arcade games ? Where do we need to place them : inside our Dreamcast folder ?
For some reason, my Dreamcast emulator will only play one game even if I try to boot other Games that I have in my playlist (e.g. if I try to open Crazy Taxi or any other game, it keeps opening up Capcom vs SNK instead) Is there a reason this is occurring?
How do you deal with frame pacing in 30fps games? I have to manually change VSync Swap Interval from 1 to 2 (effectively reducing the refresh rate to 30Hz) but that's not an optimal solution. E.g. certain parts of Sonic Adventure 1 are 60fps (menus, Twinkle Circuit) which means they run in half the speed in 30Hz. Or how about Spider-man - regular gameplay is 30fps but CGI cutscenes require 60Hz to run at full speed (for some reason). If I don't use VSynch Swap Interval 2 in 30fps games, the bad frame pacing makes them very stuttery despite stable 30fps.
Hey man, can you help me with Retro Arch? When I play dreamcast 2D fighting games (like CVS2, CVS1Pro, MVC2) in 4K there are graphical glitches with the sprites and animations. Any fixes for this?. The only fix I can do, is to change the output to 960p, but I wanna play the games in 4K.
Updated my bios files, but for some reason I can't load a single game on the flycast core. No matter the file type whenever I load a game it quickly returns to the menu and says "failed to load content"
For some reason, i have to manually set the core options for every game. I've been trying to save at content directory and even do the override, but the override is saying nothing is there. Clearly I am doing something wrong but Idk what it is. Any help from anyone would be appreciated, thank you!
Idk what I did wrong, but my internal resolution won’t change. Like I tried all the resolutions, restarted and all but my screen for the Dreamcast stayed the same resolution. Any advice on what I should do?
I have a question regarding "track[number].bin" files, what am I supposed to do with them in case of having a multidisc game, and each disc has the same files with the same names?
Hi i updated my retroarch retail mode to the latest one. Now keyboard support does not work. Is it the same for you? Even retroarch doesnt see the keyboard but xbox home dashboard recognizes the keyboard
Thanks for the great guide. In retail mode, not able to load DC games in .7z format even though the Playlist properly detected. Just get an error. Works fine if I extract and load the cue. Is that normal?
So I’ve encountered a problem, I was playing MVC 2 arcade mode and it always crashes on me, it’ll restart the game a few matches in or just exit retroarch all together… anyone know how I can fix this? I’m running the games off of a Sandisk usb 3.1 thumb drive
Is there a wiki for what dreamcast games work or dont on retroarch? I've tried looking for one and can't find it and I've been having random problems with games like Evil Dead and Dynamite cop where they dont run great and I have even gotten different files to see if that was the problem and still no luck :(
It was probably working fine back when this was posted but as of February, I'm getting a SH4 error while trying to boot Flycast core in RetroArch retail. I don't have access to the directory so I can't really change the .ini file as it seems it's a vulkan error. Any help?
Can somebody help with this. When I want to swap discs for Skies of Arcadia, I dont get the dreamcast menu in the background. Also the disc wont swap. I converted every disc to chd and made the m3u file. But the disc swap doesnt work. Is the bios that I got not functional (No DC menu) or do my chd files dont work?
Does anyone have a tip on how to get the memory cars working for saving. The files are saving on Flycast but for some reason it will not save on retroarch. Memory cards are showing up in the selection and it's saying saving however when I go to load up the game again there is no save file
I've got pretty much everything working great except for the 2k sports series. Every NFL, NBA and NHL 2k game (2k-2k2) have multiple video and/or audio issues. Has anyone else been able to adjust the settings to fix these? Everything I've tried seems to make no difference.
@@andresgomez8691 I found the setting that mentioned shadows. Disabling that does clear up all the gameplay stuttering, but it doesn't change the graphical glitches everywhere on the field.
Dead or alive 2 is SO underrated. These 22 year old visuals could be early Switch graphics. And the gameplay is better than Tekken has ever been! Even now the breast physics give it a bad rap, as if breast bouncing hasn’t shown up in countless games for 30 years.
@@ArchadesGames shoot. I made a folder for dreamcast on my usb. Moved the .gdi and .bin files for the game inside that folder. Tried to load up the .gdi file to run and it tells me it failed to load. Not sure what I missed. I believe you stated there is no need for bios using flycast.
@@ArchadesGames i did. theyre not working at all. i using the same retroarch build youre using, except my game roms are on a USB drive. dreamcast, saturn, and 3do chds crash ("could not open or read file"). however, N64 roms work perfectly so i know the usb drive is working properly
@@ArchadesGames oh i figured out the problem. i cant load chds from usb flash. had to store them on the internal drive. how are you loading chds from external in retail mode?
