UnnUndrgrnd4114 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Having issues with Redream playing extracted files. Before the most recent updates, I had all my Dreamcast games in 7zip and Launchbox was able to extract them with Redream as the emulator flawlessly. Now, only Reicast through Retroarch lets me do this. I prefer Redream, so I was hoping there's a fix or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

UnnUndrgrnd4114 Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) It's been working alright with the files already extracted. I like saving space though, so I've been trying to use the 7zip files which worked until recently Edited December 12, 2021 by UnnUndrgrnd4114 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodmango Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I tried to open games through redream from launch box and it didn't work for me. It is opening the emulator itself not the games. Is there something I should do to make it work . I am using android 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnnUndrgrnd4114 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Did you use zip/7zip or extracted files? If zip/7zip, how'd you get it to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redream won't read a game that is on zip or 7z extensions. You must extract it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got it to work before, I would link the 7zip files with Redream on Launchbox. It showed empty (like normal) after Launchbox extracted (supposedly) the games temporarily for individual plays. From there, I pressed the menu (3 bars) button on my phone which showed the multiple windows open, then I clicked back on the Redream window and it played the game fine. With whatever update happened in Launchbox in the past year, this trick no longer works. I just want it to work again so I don't have to use Reicast through Retroarch because that crashes a lot of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodmango Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Why not converter your games to (.CHD) extension. It is like zip but all Dreamcast emulators can read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnnUndrgrnd4114 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'll give it a try. Thank you for the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnnUndrgrnd4114 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Any suggestions on a converter for Android? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodmango Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) I think you can't converter to CHD on android . Try downloading your CHD games directly from the internet. Edited December 13, 2021 by Goodmango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
