KingPizza Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Dreamcast games start fine, but the second any 3D rendering starts, like an opening cutscene, the game crashes to desktop and I get a video card error, like a driver recovery issue or something. All other emulators work fine, including Saturn and PlayStation. I figure there's probably some kind of API conflict in the settings of Flycast or Retroarch. I wasn't having this issue using an RTX 2080, but I recently upgraded to an RX 6800 XT and now get issues. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know.

Lordmonkus Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I would suggest asking over on the Retroarch forums but right out of the gate the fact that you have an AMD graphics card is not good for emulation because they have very poor GL drivers. One thing I can suggest however is trying the Vulkan or DX video driver in Reatroarch with the Flycast core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPizza Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 After more testing, I've been able to narrow down the issue somewhat. After having no luck changing the video driver API like was suggested, I tried downloading a standalone nightly version of Flycast and set it up as the Dreamcast emulator in Launchbox. Games are working flawlessly now. So this tells me there is something specific with the Libretro version of Flycast that is having issues with my system. Obviously none of this is a Launchbox issue, so I will post this over in the Retroarch forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try playing in native resolution and see if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
