Thanks recorded:)

Testing R6 now, seems great:) I think it fixed memory issues at least for me.
[Shield General] hooby3dfx:
I'm still testing r5.

Just got a 32 gb sd card so I'm loading up all the games!! More updates to come.

Soul Calibur - omg basically perfect

Jet Grind Radio - playable, really glitchy graphics artifacts

Seaman - gets to screen that checks for mic, won't get past that since its not connected. ***MY GOAL IN LIFE IS TO GET THIS TO WORK***

Armada - cant get to boot
[Shield General] hazindu:
Grandia 2 seems to work. I played through the intro and first dungeon with no noticeable flaws.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 works at full speed, but with some graphical glitches in the sprites.

Capcom vs SNK 1&2 work at full speed, but have glitches in the sprites.
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Were these tested with R5 or R6 beta?
[Shield General] hazindu:
R5
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Thanks:)
[Shield General] MRCANNADY:
shenmue still crashes

Shenmue still crashes when you try to leave the dojo at the beginning of the game using the R6 beta. :(

Also NBA 2k does not work
[Shield General] elconejotres:
R6 beta tested with Seventh Cross Evolution still gray garbled polygon graphical glitches suddenly appearing and MK Gold still semi freeze when doing the "compactor" sektor fatality (opponent body explode as ussual then action freeze until the loading screen on tower) same as in R5, thanks for your efforts!!!
[Shield General] hooby3dfx:
Rayman 2 - Everything seems to work and speed is perfect, in the first area a lot of the ground is just big purple polygons though

Project Justice: Rival Schools 2 - Boots fine but drops back to the file menu after playing the intro

Bangai-O - Boots and the 2D graphics seem mostly OK but everything is squished into the left half of the screen

Rayblade - Boots and the 2D graphics seem mostly OK but everything is squished into the left half of the screen
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Alright will record and test Shenmue past dojo:) thanks!

Dead or Alive 2

It is playable via latest official or beta. Snapdragon 800 chipset
[Shield General] Motawa88:
anyone got alone in the dark to work?
[Shield General] rushless:
It does not work on the S4 S600. Crashes to the menu when try to chose a game mode. I have tried different formats

and US, Euro and Japan rom versions. Exact same result so far.
[Shield General] albertofdock:
Dead or Alive 2

Try an hunt down the GDI below

Dead or Alive 2 v1.100 (2000)(Tecmo)(NTSC)(US)[!].gdi
[Shield General] noobmaster:
US version worked for me and I played through story mode just fine. PAL and JP versions all crash after character selection for me. This is with Snapdragon 800 though.
[Shield General] rushless:
Thanks. I will check these out.

Update: I found a US CDI version version that works. Thanks!

Though the Limited Edition has more stuff, this will do fine :)

Be nice though if the same roms that load and work with the PC version did with Reicast sometime in the future :)
[Shield General] ieronymous:
Hello from me too .... Yesterday received my shield and first thing to do was set up dreamcast emu. I am almost only interested in playing berserk (my favorite anime/manga as well) The game plays well no lags or anythings. There is no button for movement of the character even though at settings of emu found the shield controller. I mapped the left analog stick and it plays now, but its too disturbing the overlay buttons on the screen

Another issue i am facing is the widescreen ratio. when i enable it from the settings of emu left and right where there were borders now its only shaking colors. Has anyone else tried the same game or another with widescreen mode on and played correctly?

Thank you in advance
[Shield General] riptor2015:
Hi all, i have tested many homebrews, but all tested games have white screen, are all cdi files??? What you think, all other games are working

anyone got virtua striker to work ?

I tried lastest version (26 april 2014) but could not boot....

other games (crazy taxi ) run fine

some people mentioned that a version works fine with virtua striker, does anyone know which ?

thanx
[Shield General] :
Every time i start a game on reicast, a black screen appears and one second later it returns to the main menu.

I already tried different bios, none seemed to work. I'm running reicast on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10'1.

Does anybody haves a solution for this? Thanks. :)
[Shield General] delt31:
can someone upload a controller config gui that is clear so I don't have to see the buttons all the time on screen?
[Shield General] synplex:
Has anyone gotten this to work on a Shield Tablet?? it keep saying I'M missing bios and flash files even though I have them in the folder its checking both renamed in lowercase.
[Shield General] ugoff:
It does work on Shield tablet. The bios file must be placed in /data in your internal storage. The directory you set that sounds like the bios files should be in is for VMU save files and other miscellaneous things.
[Shield General] synplex:
My files are in the internal storage. Only my Roms are on my sd card. Any other ideas :confused:
[Shield General] synplex:
Finally got it to recognized my bio files (Have to create a dc/data folder). But i am still have a problem where it wont run my SoA game. :crying:

I have both a Skies of Arcdia CDI and a GDI file neither work.

Also is there a way to resume the game after I put the shield tablet to sleep or stand by?

Once my shield tablet sleeps the game closes and goes back to the Reicast game browser window, losing all progress. :(
[Shield General] ugoff:
Mine does the same after sleep. It must be the way the emulator is programmed currently. As far as SoA goes, I don't have it and I've never tried it. Make sure the region of the copy you have is on the supported list, and maybe try the most recent build or reicast.
[Shield General] synplex:
[MENTION=705908]ugoff[/MENTION] - yes I have the latest beta installed and if that's the way the emulator works, where every time your device goes to sleep it closes out the game, that really makes the point of having mobile emulation kind of pointless. I thought it was a bug.
[Shield General] YokoMotive:
GDI to CHD

Does anyone have a working link for the GDI to CHD converter? I can't find it anywhere....
[Shield General] Kollagen:
Same here, I was going to post just that,
[Shield General] YaPeL:
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 :confused:
[Shield General] 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).
[Shield General] Matsilagi:
Looks like its still beign worked on.

Any working version for Lollipop? Just got a Half-Life CDI and i want to run it.
[Shield General] Horvaticus:
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!
[Shield General] ugoff:
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.
[Shield General] cyclonmaster:
Been a long time not using this emulator. As per today, is it savestate implemented yet?
[Shield General] breizgoth:
It's great, but it would be perfect with a cheat code menu ?
[Shield General] ivoricardo:
Did this emulator died? :(

Edit:

Just noticed there are still beta releasings :o awsome!

Why is the playstore version so outdated?

Cheers!

(This just made my day)
[Shield General] cyclonmaster:
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.
[Shield General] omniastrider:
I tried a couple of beta of Reicast, but it's always force close... :( I wonder why...
[Shield General] ratisme36:
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,

Ratisme36
[Shield General] Prior22:
How's the compatibility for the various NBA 2k and NFL 2k games?
[Shield General] omniastrider:

Shenmue on Reicast

Hi,

Does anyone know where to get Shenmue 2 and know how to install it on to reicast? Thanks
[Shield General] 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.
[Shield General] BanBoo:
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 ;))
[Shield General] 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?
[Shield General] phyrexiancurw:
Go to their official websight you can get the latest expetimental builds. I got a build from the official facebook page that fixed android 5.0 issues

[Shield General] MRCANNADY:
The funny thing is that the R6 version seems to crash faster then the R5 apk when leaving the dogo. There is a workaround that someone posted on another site to get out of the dojo without the crash, but it makes the game run slowlyyyyy.
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Alright will look into it:) I posted a spreadsheet in the main thread, feel free to add games or alter the list:)
[Shield General] angelhp:

Added more games

Crazy Taxi 1 and 2 both work without glitches. No graphical anomalies, perfect run. Updated compatibility list.
[Shield General] beamquaker:
Hi this is my first post. Silent scope boots but the scope had graphical glitches so u cant shoot anyone. Dino crisis works fine but a few fmv glitches. mvc 2 I cant get a 2nd fight to work it just crashes. Hellgate works but has some glitches. Fire pro wrestling d works really well and only has glitches in 8 man match. Only problem is on the on screen d pad. If u dont have diagonal you cant leave or enter the ring. Do u have diagonal on the d pad when using hardware like moga. R6 beta on all of them

[Shield General] adladl:
I've tested the following games with r5 version of reicast in a jxd s7800b, so far, all of them work perfectly (first 10-15 min of gameplay)

Blue Stinger (Works Perfectly)

Head Hunter (Works Perfectly)

Resident Evil Code Veronica (Works Perfectly)

Resident Evil 3 (Works Perfectly)

Sonic 1 (Works Perfectly)

Zombie Revenge (Works Perfectly)
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Alright, so I added a couple of new things. Feel free to offer suggestions.

I'm also starting to add new devices.
[Shield General] elconejotres:
Some more tests using Nshield and JXDS7300b with latest beta:

Project Justice - almost perfect but after one or two matches will restart the emu

Phantasy star online V1 and V2 - almost perfect in some places very heavy FPS drops playable tough

Space channel 5 - some graphical glichtes but playable so far

Space channel 5 part 2 (original and translated) - very heavy FPS drops playable tough

Zombie Revenge - Perfect so far just some minor on screen semi garbled graphics on fmv's

The king of fighters evo and dream match 99 - unplayable screen stretched to the left and 3d stages give error giving chars almost no space to move on the stage (seems to happen with all playmore DC games so far)

Dead or Alive 2 - almost perfect fps drops so much sometimes even in quad core

Street fighter III Double Impact - game starts, after you select any game screen goes black but game continues sound can be heard

Silver - it does not even boot and restart the emu

Illbleed - Playable but heavy graphical glitches similar to Seventh Cross Evo

Man I can't wait the devs nail the glitches this is the most amazing app I've seen so far on android willing to help as much as it's needed :)

Hello. Been looking into XDA for some time and thought I coulf finally contribute at least a little bit :) I'm sorry if I chose the wrong topic, it says however "all devices" :). Unreal Tournament works but plays at around half the speed it normally does, also has minor audio distortions in the main menu. Plus has some graphic bugs ( some walls missing textures or looking like c-throughs). Tried it on version r5 on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, JB 4.1 if that is of any meaning :) Also sorry but I don't have any idea how to edit the spreadsheet using the tablet x)

Archos Gamepad 2 Compatibility

Hi all,

So happy I found this place. I have added the Archos Gampad 2 to the spreadsheet along with some games and compatibility reports (all R5). I have also included screenshots where I remembered. I really cant wait to see how far this emulator goes as they are doing some amazing work.

[Shield General] cyclonmaster:

[Shield General] L1qu1d:
fixed:)
[Shield General] ricardo85x:
For me. San Francisco Rush 2049 does not works.

It crash after the Dreamcast Logo.

But in the spreadsheet it was marked as working.

I tried with GDI and CHD format and with NTSC AND PAL version.
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Hopefully we can get more people that confirmed it working to speak out, otherwise it will become not working:)

Record of Lodoss War crash fix

In ROLW, the game crashes after an enemy is struck. If you open emu.cfg as a text and set Dynarec to "0" instead of "1" it will not crash anymore.

With Dynarec off the game will be SLOW but still playable. After you have killed a handfull of monsters and collected their items you can save your game and then exit reicast, set Dynarec back to "1" and reload that save. The game should not crash anymore and be at full speed. However, there are other points in the game when it will crash again, so make sure you are saving a lot and also make sure to save in an alternating slot each time because there is also a chance that it will crash WHILE SAVING. Then your save file will become corrupted. This all happened to me within ten minutes of play time or so. If you do all this then the game will run perfectly. I also heard that Dynarec effects other games as well like Shenmue.

I am still playing Grandia 2 with no problems 99 percent perfect

Soul Calibur runs great with pixel problems only in backgrounds

Blue Stinger is running fine but havent played that long

And Record of Lodoss war is perfect when using above fix

Tested on Nvidia Shield on newest firmware with reicast r5 (revision 6 seems to have more issues sometimes with ROLW)
[Shield General] ricardo85x:
Hahahaha.

I am playing this game too and having this same problem. I am always saving in 2 slots.

This game is so good, but this problem is very annoying
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
This is so that you can get the memory card in the first slot working:). yes it will erase everything on that memory card, but for me, it wasn't usable until I formatted it anyway:)
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Hey I created a Xperia Z spreadsheet and set it up, if you test anymore games paste them there:) thanks for the effort you put in:) I wasn't sure if the games above what you posted were yours or someone elses:) PM if you have questions or u want me to make changes:)

I cannot get sf rush 2049 to boot either on r5 and r6 but Maken X is working perfectly on r6 with minor background abnormalitys
[Shield General] diniscampos:
Sorry but your information is not correct.;)

It will not destroy memory card data. It will create (format) a "virtual card" inside your memory card (dc_flash.bin). No data will be lost.

I just tryied and it worked like a charm. I'm playing Sonic2 with save option working !!!!:good:
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
I think we were misunderstanding each other. I was speaking only about the virtual memory card from the dreamcast bios, not your physical memory card from your device. So no personal data off your device gets deleted, your only deleting the virtual memory card from the dreamcast memory card:)
[Shield General] diniscampos:
Thanks for your answer.

Ricardo already told me that "dc_flash.bin" is where reicast saves virtual memory card form dreamcast games.
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Yes it is. So keeping the bios means u keep ur save files when updating. So yes ur basically formating the virtual dreamcast virtual memory within the bios:) glad you got it sorted out!
[Shield General] diniscampos:
...and in my case is working. I'm playing and using save slots too.:good:
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Yup:)
[Shield General] HobsonA:
I had the issue then I tried a different BIOS and it started to work correctly and perfectly. The problem may also lay with your copy of the game... if you can't get it to work I can setup a torrent with the Bios and Rom and PM you the link when I get home tomorrow/Friday

[Shield General] ricardo85x:
The game San Francisco Rush 2049 Does work perfectly on CDI images only.

We should put in the google docs the format of the game(CDI or GDI or CHD) and also the Region

Games like Skies of Arcadia does not work on CDI.
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Done:)
[Shield General] rag66628:
Hello, added a spreadsheet part for PowerVr with some games tested. I hope I managed to do everything OK :) If not please say where I should make corrections and I will make them as soon as possible :)

Is there any way to get widescreen working on the Nvidia Shield? this is the close i can get.
[Shield General] Q8-V08:
To convert a DiscJuggler .cdi to a compressed .chd, first mount the .cdi on a virtual drive then dump the virtual drive to a .bin / .cue, take the newly created .bin & .cue and use chdman to compress it into a .chd, v4 of chdman as v5 isn't compatible with reicast yet.

chdman -createcd cd.cue cd.chd

You can possibly do the same with sd iso's, i'm not sure of it's format are they just mode1 iso's with no cdda support?
[Shield General] uoykcuf86:
Edited the Spreadsheet for Nvidia Shield, Resident Evil 3, and Dead or Alive 2 Master Collection.
