Dreamcast pulling my hair out.

Hi,

please give us more details about your game files for Dreamcast.
Which Hardware?
have you "first" use the search function in the Forum?

EDIT:
For neogeo:
I hope you know that the neogeo.zip BIOS must be placed in the neogeo rom folder and NOT in the bios folder.

[coldmantis]

@abunille thanks for the response, yes I have use search/google/reddit/discord. I still have this issue, the games files are "name of game", space, "(region)" then it ends with .cdi.

As for neogeo bios I must of tried at least 6-8 of them, I put them in the neogeo folder which didn't work, then I also copied them into mame, FB and bios folders. It does the same just loads to black screen and back to game list. Due note that I cannot find the Correct Checksum number that matches the wiki for the neogeo bios, the DC however matches both the bios regular and region free.

Opps forgot my hardware I don't recall the hardware since I'm not home I believe it's a Lenovo T440 i7 for sure 8gb of ram, and maybe intel HD 4400 graphics. Recalbox and roms are located on 2.5" 500GB Hardrive connected with a sata to usb adapter (active not passive).

@coldmantis you need the correct bios depending on the required romset version, so don‘t worry about the md5 checksum shown on the wiki for arcade systems.

@paradadf

ok that makes sense we are talking about neogeo right? not about dreamcast roms. It's been a long time since I play emulators, I recall there was like a program where you can load your rom directory and it checks a dat file or something, It's been so long that I don't recall the name of the program or where to start? any advise?

@coldmantis read the wiki, look for the word „arcade“

Check hashes (BIOS region free):

• dc_boot.bin > d552d8b577faa079e580659cd3517f86
• dc_flash.bin > 74e3f69c2bb92bc1fc5d9a53dcf6ffe2

Put those 2 files in the BIOS folder (/share/bios),move your games files (*.cdi or *.gdi) to the Dreamcast folder (/share/roms/dreamcast) and everything should work without problems

Proof:

(Power Stone.gdi + extra files)

(Marvel vs. Capcom 2.cdi)

@coldmantis

Can you listen the music in main menu in mvsc2?

[Quemandoacromo]

@jorgemagana Yes,I can listen to the music in the screen of selection mode

[jorgemagana]

@quemandoacromo thanks, I can not, I do not know what I am doing wrong.

Do not ask for copyrighted content!!!

I have found some downloads but they are not working with Recalbox

Probably because they are not the exact MD5s
