TathanLIVE Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Hey folks! I have been running my Launchbox/Bigbox with Retroarch and internal cores with no issues for months, but after upgrading my GPU, problems came. I upgraded from a GTX 1060 to R6800. Didn't changed any setting, but all those games are now broken, no way to make them work with Flycast/Reicast. I also get the next messages "Failed to load content" "Please upgrade to MAME romsets or expect issues" Any advice? Many thanks! SOLVED: Issue was that my Bios were downloaded but in a wrong place. Don't know why they worked well before or how they managed to move, but now it's running well! Edited May 25, 2021 by TathanLIVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TathanLIVE Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hey @zugswang, Sadly, I've already tried both options... getting the same results. I also restarted all my settings/shaders/... but none of those solutions changed the results... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sounds like the reicast core changed the files it accepts and yours are no longer supported, and you need to use the MAME roms instead. Im sure its all documented on there wiki, like all the needed files and bios's always are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TathanLIVE Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Well, first of all thank you very much for your answers. I have done a backup of my MAME files, and reimported a small fullset (70gb) including KoFXI and so on in Launchbox. When my import will be over, I'll try to run them once again, and if they don't work I'll try with @neil9000 file... hoping that it will work... Thank you very much for your help!

Well, thanks, I just reimported a whole arcade set in my Launchbox which is now making duplicate entries (KoFXI in arcade + KoFXI in "Sega Atomiswave" folder)... By the way, I tried to run my zip manually with Flycast and then Reicast, but nothing changed... Keeps crashing. When I run it through MAME directly, it works, but with a lot of issues which is normal. Why doesn't it happen when I run it through Retroarch + Flycast?. Now that I tried to do it in a cleaner way, Retroarch opens well, but gets stucked and unresponsive before loading the game (using bin+lst), when I try to do the same with the mame zips, they just don't work. (NB: Know any fast way to sort those games or should I do it one by one? Sorry for being so dumb. I had made a lot of things in my Hyperspin times, but I haven't got so much time to entertain anymore. ^^) Edited May 25, 2021 by TathanLIVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even less problems while running them manually through Retroarch... Once again, thank you very much for your answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TathanLIVE Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Weeeell, there's now quite a difference between zip files and bin. When I run it through bin, I get an error message, but through zip, it instantly crashes before letting me do anything, and Retroarch autocloses.

In RA, load flycast core, then go to information then core information and make sure you have all bios files required. The only ones that are missing are the optional ones. So I presume it isn't related... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TathanLIVE Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Yeah. Just saw the issue (i think). I do have the files but they aren't recognized as the "good" files. Gonna reinstall them asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 The Naomi bios are only marked as optional as its really a Dreamcast core and you dont need Naomi bios for Dreamcast games, hence the "Optional" part of that. If you want to actually run Naomi then they are "Essential" not "Optional". Same with Atomiswave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TathanLIVE Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Problem came back after trying to use Vulkan again. I wiped all my retroarch folder, wiped my amd drivers, but nothing works. Game just runs fine when using GL... and crashes when using Vulkan. Quite weird because my /vulkaninfo looks good. And even my retroarch settings seem to work normally : Quote [INFO] === Build ======================================= [INFO] CPU Model Name: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor [INFO] Capacit├®s: MMX MMXEXT SSE SSE2 SSE3 SSSE3 SSE4 SSE4.2 AES AVX AVX2 [INFO] Built: Jun 16 2021 [INFO] Version: 1.9.5 [INFO] Git: 10f0073 [INFO] ================================================= [INFO] [Input]: Found input driver: "dinput".

TathanLIVE Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Going back to AMD solved the issue. Case (sadly) closed then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
