Problems with Flycast - Windows 10

RetroArch General
#1

Hey guys, Recently looked at RetroArch after years away from it. Really like the new look. I am wanting to run both DC and Naomi / Atomiswave games on my Windows box (I5 3470 / 8gb Ram / GT1030). So far I am just trying to get DC games to run - specifically Virtua Tennis. At the moment, I have done no changes to the settings, and added Bios files. The games starts up goes through and allows me to choose a player, then just crashes out. I have the last part of the log added. Any ideas?? This happens to other games too. thanks in advance…

I also have crashes with latest Flycast and Atomiswave games. Previously fully working DC games suddenly produce messed graphics under GL, but work fine with Vulkan.

#3

There was an issue with per-triangle mode in both Vulkan and GL. Switch to per-strip or per-pixel and check if it still happens. This has been fixed now so updating the flycast core should help.

#4

Downloded latest Flycast. With GL the Atomiswave games and the majority of DC games now seem to work fine.

But some like Crazy Taxi or Ecco the Dolphin still display some textures black even if i switch to per-strip or per-pixel.

#5

Also SoulCalibur has black floor/ground

#6

Disable mip-mapping fix the black ground problem

#7

There has been changes in mipmapping recently but I can’t reproduce the issue with any game I tested.

Are you using per-triangle or per-pixel? GL or Vulkan? What version of the flycast core are you running?

#8

Version: 0.1963d874, on Windows 7 with OpenGL, RetroArch: 1.85
