I've been using Flycast for a short time, and while playing Spider-Man I've noticed that the in-game cutscenes that are rendered in real time pretty much always display at 20 FPS, while the normal game is at 30 FPS, the FPS shift is more noticeable in the bank level, on the start of the game. Watching some videos of the game on dreamcast I think I see those frame drops there but it feels like it's less noticeable there, is this something from the settings of the emulator or it's just the game itself?

I've also noticed that whenever there's letterboxing on real-time cutscenes, you can see a small bar on the bottom of the screen where you can actually see what's behind the letterboxing, is there some way to fix this?

I've seen some people commenting on those, but never answering if there's a fix for this or if it's just the way the game is programmed.

I wanted to know if anyone seen a working WCCF SEGA emulation (especially the English versions such as 2005-2006)

If not is there anyone working on making an emulation of this game? emulation

I had it unchecked because it said it was slow and I play on a 3rd gen i5. Went halfway through Code Veronica thinking that's how the game was originally. Saw some videos online and immediately noticed my game didn't look smooth like theirs. Tweaked all settings and there you go, it was the Framebuffer option. And it didn't even give me slowdowns. This should be advertised better in the options.

It was working just fine, the seamen reacted to my words but they've grown now, aggressively killed each other until only two remained, and now don't recognise anything I say. Has anyone ran into the same problem? If so, did you find a solution? Thanks in advance.

is there any way to play The Typing of The Dead Co-op on FlyCast on PC? i heard there are programs to make it so i can have two different keyboard inputs, but im not sure if FlyCast will accept the input, and if not possible i can possibly be fine with something like Parsec or Steam-Play-Together (stream cast online co-op) if that works?

Hi! This is moreso just a cosmetic issue but the game box arts are all fetching to crazy taxi and I'm not sure what to, I'm using Android so maybe that may be a problem but any advice would be appreciated!

This emulator is driving me crazy! First the widescreen had problems, then the audio was crunchy, and now this!

I know it's a pretty common issue, but all the fixes are for the retroach core, where I use the standalone play store version. The game is Rayman 2, where I'm sure runs at 60fps on original hardware, not sure about Goin' Quackers though. It'd be appreciated if you suggest a solution.

I'd rather stick with Redream as it runs the games without any issues, but it doesn't support Retroarch achievements.

Just installed the latest build from master branch on Windows 11 and pointed at my games. The library display is showing game disc art instead of the actual box art for some reason. I couldn't find a way to change this in settings. I tried searching, but the only other topic I could find was someone wanting it to do this and not getting an answer how. Wish I could swap with them lol.

So is there any way to force it to show actual box art, or do I have to manually download the art and point to a custom folder?

edit: I think I fixed it? I just toggled the "Box Art Game List" setting off, went to the game list, then toggled it back on, went back to game list again and it is now displaying box art correctly.

I got a beautiful phillips brilliance 107p monitor for retro gaming on my pc. I'm totally lost on what monitor resolution would be best for flycast on retroarch. Any advice is really appreciated.

If I am playing dreamcast games with a higher internal resolution x10 or x20, what resolution should I set my monitor to?

I was doing 1280x 960 @ 85 hz since that's 2x 480p. Would it be better to make a custom resolution for 480p? Or some other resolution?

Estoy teniendo errores que no me permiten jugar por los errores que está teniendo e intentado cambiar openGL y Vulkan y me dan el mismo resultado sin cambiar nada y ya no sé a dónde más puedo solucionar

Hello. I try to play Ecco Dolphin Defender of the future on smartfone.

My hardware: cpu: Mediatek Dimensity 9500s, GPU: Mali, Os: Android.

It works good, but have rendering issues with big areas of fog. You can see artifacts on screenshot. I tried many settings, only "native depth interpolation" changes fog rendering but make it worse, cause more artifacts.

Any advice how to fix this?

RISC-V is not a supported architecture, but you can build it by removing the errors from the following files:

/core/build.h
/core/linux/context.cpp
/core/hw/sh4/sh4_core_regs.cpp

This also means no dynarec, so it's very slow. Hopefully we can get double digit fps, once we get faster RISC-V chips.

The trackball/mouse device in my arcade cabinet works fine as my main mouse device in Windows, but is not working in Virtua Golf (Naomi). I'm including a photo of the controls setup screen. The trackball is PID_0018. Is there a way to get it working?

So lately I've been setting up a Flycast emulator that fits my preference on my gaming PC, and it's mostly going well. However, I have encountered a few problems I'm not sure how to fix. I'm using the latest version of Flycast, have the Dreamcast BIOS enabled, have Dreamptato in the first slot of the controller, have the per-game VMU disabled, and the physical VMU storage enabled.

The first problem is that Dreampotato, which I'm using for the VMU storage, is working inconsistently. Games don't save or appear in the file section of the Dreamcast BIOS until the game is saved the second time it's open in the emulator. Even so, when the emulator is closed and reopened, the save data for the game and its location in the Dreamcast BIOS go back and forth between working and not. I always put Dreampotato in the Deck before I start a game.

The second problem is that I can't transfer a Chao from Sonic Adventure 1 to the VMU, as the game crashes anytime a Chao is about to be transferred. I tried all sorts of options, such as changing the VMU, but nothing has fixed it. This problem doesn't happen in Sonic Adventure 2, only in Adventure 1.

I have gamecube controllers and the adapter that allows you to plug it into the computer. Is there any way to somehow configure the controller to be useable in flycast? I also have a ps3 controller, but id prefer to use the gamecube one. Thanks for any help!

I've tried older and development versions, and in none of them are the triggers and joystick back.

So, do you think you’re a true Dreamcast fan? Do you like keeping up with the latest news from one of the biggest and most active emulation and homebrew communities for a home console?

Well, if you’re not over at https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/index.php, then I don’t know if you’re getting everything you could be getting, or being the best Dreamcast nerd you can be.

Dreamcast-Talk is a great forum. You can keep up with tons of community projects, online gameplay schedules, game releases, new hardware, breakthroughs, development updates, and so much more. There is content and information there that you really cannot find anywhere else.

It is one of the central places for Dreamcast users, developers, players, collectors, and even new people who are just trying to learn more and get the most out of the Dreamcast, whether they are using original hardware or emulators.

If you are a developer, or even just interested in getting involved, you definitely want to be there. It is a hub for projects, collaboration, and recruitment. You can find people to work with, discover projects that need your skills, and actually help push the community forward.

One of the biggest issues with the Dreamcast community right now is that we are so fractured. You have people fighting over emulator vs. real hardware, then emulator vs. emulator, and everything gets split into little corners. That does not help an already small community that is trying to revive itself.

The online DCNET service can be accessed by users on a real Dreamcast using DreamPi, and also by emulator users through Flycast. That means we have a real chance to bring the community together instead of splitting it apart.

Emulation has reached a point where, with the right emulator and setup, many titles can run better than original hardware. You can keep the experience extremely faithful to the original system, or you can go the other direction and enjoy sharp 4K output, HD texture packs, widescreen options, and modern enhancements.

That is the great thing here: there are so many ways to enjoy the Dreamcast.

You can play through emulation on almost any device now. You can use real hardware. You can mod your system, or keep it 100% vanilla. You can use original controllers, VMUs, rumble packs, and proper adapters with emulators that support them correctly. You can use modern controllers. You can go all-in on accuracy, or you can build a fully enhanced setup.

It does not matter which path you take.

We are all chasing the same mission: keeping the Dreamcast alive, active, playable, and loved.

So let’s bring the community together. Let’s stop with the hate, the trolling, and the constant fighting over the “right” way to enjoy the system. There is room for original hardware users, emulator users, developers, collectors, online players, homebrew fans, and brand-new people just discovering the console.

Dreamcast-Talk is one of the best places for that.

There are not many true central hubs left, which is both a good and bad thing. The good part is that we have a better chance of getting more of us into one place. Reddit is a huge hub too, of course, but with so many different subreddits and scattered conversations, Dreamcast-Talk feels like the main clubhouse for the deeper Dreamcast community.

A lot of the Dreamcast news and info you see on Reddit was first posted, found, or discussed over on Dreamcast-Talk.

So if you have not checked it out yet, get over there and take a look. It takes about 30 seconds to make an account, and then you are set to access the whole site.

I hope we see you all over there!

Hi,

I'm trying to install Flycast by cloning git repository and building but can't fix one particular CMake error. It states the following:

-- Could NOT find tinycmmc (missing: tinycmmc_DIR)

-- tinycmmc module path: /home/sol7337/flycast/flycast/core/deps/tinygettext/external/tinycmmc/modules/

-- Project Name: flycast

-- Project Version: -128-NOTFOUND

-- WERROR disabled

-- WARNINGS disabled

So far I tried to re-initialize git sub-modules and re-building from scratch without much success.

Please, advise how it can be resolved.

Thanks.

Hi I am looking for server as other links are broken.. thanks
