Flycast Naomi difficulty

Recommended Posts

I followed the tutorial to setup Atomiswave and Naomi with Reicast, but substituted Flycast. Atomiswave works well, but not all Naomi games work. Specifically, when I try to run 18 Wheeler. When I click on the game I get a brief spinning wheel, but the game does not load. I feel as if it is a problem with not having a necessary BIOS or not the correct ROM. The ROM is a zip file. I renamed the BIOS as recommended in the video.  Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Which video tutorial, some  are outdated?

Did you get your naomi.zip and 18wheeler rom from a current MAME set?

Are you using 18wheelr.zip or 18wheelru.zip? I have both zips but point LB to 18wheelru.zip and works fine.

Can't remember 100%, will check when I get home, but you might have to set the cabinet type in the game service menu as well to run properly.

Thank you for your help. I watched the ETA Prime video from a couple years ago. He explains how to setup with Reicast, but I substituted Flycast because Retroarch changed the emulator. I am not sure which MAME set my files are from, but they don’t have .lst or .bin files. I have it setup with 18wheelr.zip. I will try 18wheelru.zip. How do I setup the cabinet type?  Is it in Retroarch?  Thanks again!

Hopefully it's from a recent MAME set.

The cabinet type is a setting in the game itself, not within Retroarch. In Retroarch, in the controls section, you can set buttons up to the Service and Test buttons. Once the game starts, you use those to get into the game's settings mode and set various option.

Thanks for your help and time. I used the 0.218 rom set with the roms and chd files. I also put all the BIOS files listed in the Retroarch website in the dc folder. All games I have tested now work. Nice to have a forum here with helpful people. 
Stay safe!
