Sega Dreamcast/Naomi (Reicast) Emulation for Atomiswave

[Lamaman1971]

Hi Folks,

I want to use Retroarch in place of DeMul for Atomiswave Emulation and read that I can use the Naomi core to do just that. Ive loaded the core and have a ROM in .bin format (along with the associated .lst) to try it out. I have put the naomi_boot.bin file into the system/dc folder per instructions.

When I load the .bin and associated core Retroarch tells me it “failed to load content”.

Any ideas? Some help would be much appreciated as I am struggling to know where to troubleshoot with such an ambiguous error message.

Cheers

I haven’t done it, but the info in these threads should be useful:

Reicast Core Atomiswave .lst File Help

The lst file is pretty simple. Just a text file with the following info: Game Title "filename.bin", 0x0000000, 0x8000000 Change “Game Title” to whatever you want for the title, I actually dont think it matters what you put here for retroarch Change filename.bin to the name of the bin or binary dat file Change 0x8000000 to the hex converted size of filename.bin Example: filename.bin is 251658240 bytes in size = 0xF000000 Example 2: filename2.bin is 134217728 bytes in size = 0x800000…

Can't Figure out .lst Files for Reicast + Not Loading Reicast

So the Main Naomi Game I want to play is Vitrual NBA but I don’t quite Understand This: The last value of the .lst file specifies the size of the .dat/.bin file in hexademical value. Here is an example of the .lst file used for Toy Fighter – Toy Fighter “Toy Fighter.dat”, 0x0000000, 0x05800000 I am terrible at Maths so I have no idea how to *The last value of the .lst file specifies the size of the .dat/.bin file in hexademical value. May I please get some Help? I tried looking at the .lst…

Yeah - I looked through mush of these and Im happy my .LST file is in good shape. My issue is that Im at a loss as to what else Retroarch is looking for…

So it turned out to be something to do with my installation - not sure what exactly as I keep it up to date. I re-downloaded Retroarch and re-installed and - hey presto - it started working without any problems.

When I load the .bin

Don’t load the .bin, load the .lst

no support for Sega Dreamcast console in retroarch when it will be?

[BarbuDreadMon]

@Rico57 Imho, maybe you should avoid being both bossy and wrong in your first post.

There is support. Use the flycast core. Update your retroarch installation/core info files and cores
