OK...now I have it:
Only if the X-Box controller is set to P1 in the system, the games start....regal which USB encoders are then for P2 and P3 at the start...STRANGE !!! X-Input and D-Input issue ?

I would like to mention in addition:

If I use the Single USB Encoder from EG-Starts at P2...and in addition the Twin USB Encoder from SJ@JX at P1, then the Roms run...
Is this related to the addressing and that Sega Model 3 may not be able to handle two of the same USB encoders ?

Topic: SEGA MODEL 3 on PC setup...and the cause (I'm really going crazy !!!):

First I tried to get the Sega Model 3 roms to run on a Mini PC with an i5 4590T. This all failed even after weeks (real romset meanwhile at the start) !!!
My thought then was: Only with a new, better mini pc they will run. So i bought a mini pc with an i5 6500T.
AND: They run...until I finally found the problem now.

I think: IT'S THE DRAGONRISE USB CONTROLLER from an EG-Starts Set !

If I have both connected (P1 and P2), the games do not start (error message cause of missingf BIOS etc.).
If only one is connected (P1) and the other (P2) is disconnected from the USB port of the computer, the games start perfectly...even on the computer that I had previously in the system.

Then I tried using to control the games with an X-Box One controller and that works fine too.

Then I tested a TWIN-USB (SJ@JX 2 Player LED Arcade USB Encoder) encoder (both sticks and buttons connected on a single board). Same thing here too: If only one stick and buttons are connected on the board, then the roms run, if both sticks are connected, the games do not start).

What the hell is the reason for that

For a solution I would be superthankful...on gladly with instruction, if I must change a config or something similar.

@RustyMG By the way: If you mean Sir Spikeout...does not work, too ;-(

@Pipouic Yes of course...i am using the model 3 emu of recalbox. What other emulator could i use?
Roms are placed in .../roms/model3

@RustyMG Rusty...i thank you a lot !!! Your hint is worth diamonds !!!

Hi there,
It's been my turn for weeks now and I just can't get the Sega Model 3 Roms to run.
No matter which ROM you get the following error message:

I have a mini pc setup with an i5-4590T and 8GB ram. OpenGL 2.1 support is therefore given (this Intel goes up to OpenGL 4.3).

The PC is connected via DPI to the HDMI input of the monitor, but that shouldn't matter.

I made my own romset with CLRMAMEPRO based on mameset 0.235. Scanning the set in clrmamepro didn't show any errors. Still, no rom works.

I also got a ROM from a friend to test, which should run 100% because it runs on his mini-PC and his Recalboxsetup.

I am now slowly despairing and wondering what else could be the problem.

Can someone please help with this and tell me which config file I could change or where the error could come from in general?

Hiho,

does anybody know how to connect an old CRT Monitor (in my case a Commodore 1084S-P1) to my Mini PC via VGA or Displayport ? I have a 15 Pin VGA (PC OUT) to 9-PIN VGA (Monitor IN) Cable but i only get this:

Do I still need any digital to analog converter or do I have to adjust the resolution in Recalbox.config or what can i do ?

Thank you for your help !!!

Yes of yourse

I can't tell you why the controllers behave like that either. I did some research on this but didn't find anything really useful. I'm thinking about switching to a different USB encoder anyway (2 player board). But for now I'm happy and it works...both on the RPI4 and on my new Mini PC. As I said, thank you very much for your great help !

Yes perfect... THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
I think all the searching was worth it because there will certainly be some players who use these controllers and now you know what can go wrong when booting

P.S.: Maybe it would be cool to have a setting within the Recalbox that would allow you to enable or disable the ability to skip the video
