Reicast Core Crashing on Launch

Libretro Cores
#1

Hello All,

I’m experiencing a crash whenever I try to load a Naomi rom in the Reicast core. My log file is contained in the Google Docs link below (comments are enabled). Would anyone be able to help me identify the cause of the crash? The rom file I’m using is a zip file from a Mame romset that works perfectly in Demul. Thanks!

My setup:

Retroarch 1.7.6 (Last stable) Core: Reicast 0.1 b3e5f0c OS: Windows 10 x64 CPU: Intel i5 6600K GPU: Nvidia GTX 970

missing file => wrong romset

FYI, reicast is in sync with latest mame naomi/atomiswave romsets.

Thanks @BarbuDreadMon. Is Reicast currently compatible with split mame romsets?

#4

Split is what i’m using, but it should be compatible with merged/non-merged too.

Ok I tested a couple other Naomi roms, all from the latest split mame romset and the hangup seems to be the following section of the log:

Is this also an issue of having the wrong romset?

That’s normal log, i have it too.

Here’s a link to the full log:

I’m not sure what those messages mean, but they seem to be the source of your issue. Maybe @flyinghead will know.

These errors are protection faults accessing (invalid) address 0x68 but that doesn’t help much.

I had a problem similar to yours. If anything, after i updated to Reicast 0.1 8c38fce, everything got solved

#11

Forgive me if this is something you already checked, but do you have the naomi.zip file?

#12

Yes, naomi.zip is stored in \RetroArch\system\dc.
