Reicast: BIOS asking me to set the time

Hi

I’m new to Reicast and I want to know something because I want to fix an issue.

On Reicast, opened via Retroarch, I am wanting to play a game called AirForce Delta.

I am thinking of playing through the entire game but there is a problem.

When I load up my game after saving it for later, the game says there is no loadable file. I look to save the game and the first memory card is blank. No free data number available, like this:

From what I assume, this is due to the Dreamcast’s BIOS clock. Everytime I launch Reicast, I have to set this clock and I want to know how to prevent this from happening. The only possible fix I found is to set the clock 5 minutes before your actual time and restart, but this doesn’t seem to work for me.

Is there any other way to fix this issue? Any response is appreciated. Thanks.

Probably just the way it is for now. Reicast is a pre-alpha 0.1. The developers of Reicast seem more focused on mobile than Windows… unfortunately. I’m guessing the core in RetroArch is based on the windows version.
