Dreamcast (Reicast) Compatibility List/Troubleshooting (MAR 12 2014) *ALL DEVICES

Same here, I was going to post just that,

Too bad the widescreen mode doesn't work for soul reaver, I wonder if we could somehow port the patch from the pc version to the dreamcast one

 

[rushless]

I wonder if the tablet issues are Kitkat related? No external card writes for third party apps. Reicast works great on my Shield 1, S4 and Note 2014, but all are still on 4.3 (card writes work and no need to root).

Looks like its still beign worked on.
Any working version for Lollipop? Just got a Half-Life CDI and i want to run it.

Hey everyone, I figured I would give my two cents here.

I'm running the reicast-20141122_881.apk build from the dev site on a NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet which has Lollipop installed. My device is rooted - not that it should matter.

I originally had a hell of a time trying to get the device to see my BIOS files. I had a folder on my SD card which had both the "data" folder and my ROMS in it. At first, my tablet wasn't seeing the bios files because I had forgotten to make a "data" folder within the directory I had the program pointed to. After creating the data folder, reicast would see my bios files, but would crash when opening.

Taking advice from someone else in the thread, I instead moved my bios files back onto the internal memory. I basically dropped this extracted file (http://www.loveroms.com/extras/files/bios/dreamcast_bios.zip) into the root of internal storage. It creates the dc/data/ folder for you.

After that, I went back into reicast and set the default directory for the BIOS to that, then set my game directory back to the SD card, and I'm all good in the hood. Hope this helps anyone else!

Anyone having issues with the current builds browsing to /storage/sdcard1 on the Shield Tablet? The last few versions I've tried are crashing when I try to access it.

Been a long time not using this emulator. As per today, is it savestate implemented yet?

 

[breizgoth]

It's great, but it would be perfect with a cheat code menu ?

 

[ivoricardo]

Did this emulator died?

Edit:

Just noticed there are still beta releasings awsome!
Why is the playstore version so outdated?

Cheers!

Still in active development. They main focus is on speed and compatibility. Features such as cheat, savestate etc they just leave it open to others to implement. So far, nobody taking the challenge.

Is the Reicast app compatible with the galaxy s6

Hi,*


I can't seem to get this emulator working on my samsung galaxy s6, I recently just updated my device but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the errors, I followed all the necessary steps like create a "reicast" folder inside create data then placed both dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin inside the data folder then opened the reicast app, highlighted path storage/emulated/0/dc/data then I highlighted SELECT CURRENT FOLDER but all I get is the picture I attached to this email. I created both a "reicast" and "dc" but the same message I attached to this email pops up ever and ever. Help!!!


Best Regards,

Try to copy the *.bin files in every subfolder under the "dc" folder. EVERY.SINGLE.SUB-FOLDER!!

Shenmue on Reicast

Hi,

Does anyone know where to get Shenmue 2 and know how to install it on to reicast? Thanks

 

[KAGE-008]

House of the Dead 2 is playable on latest beta builds at least. Tested on Galaxy S III mini VE (Battery Saving option on), with Unstable Optimizations enabled.

Hey folks, i've recently installed the latest reicast for Android on my Philips PFS 8209 TV with Android 4.2.2. I only managed to get into the dreamcast menu... But there is no dreamcast animation (the bouncing Ball become the dreamcast Logo) just the logo. And i cant get the games to load. The same configuration works on my HTC One M7 5.0.2. Any suggestions whats wrong? I think that the not correctly working bootup animation is a sign that something is not working properly. Would be amazing to simply Play dreamcast games on my TV with the 360 controller (which seems to work as it should... At the menu at least )

 

[titeuf007]

does it the end of reicast? there are no news update on the playstore..
do you know when a new release will be available?
