Hello everyone. I am having some strange issues with Ikaruga for the Dreamcast on the ODROID-XU4.

The game starts totally normal but after the beginning of Chapter 1 (about 40 seconds after starting to play) the ship will freeze but the game will continue to run but you can not move anymore. You also are invincible and no bullets or ships can hit or damage you and the game just will continue to run like that.

This issue happens about 9 out of 10 times.

At first I thought I had a broken a broken ROM so I tried a different one. That also did not work so I ripped the game myself with httpd-ack. Same issue. So it is not a game/image issue but an emulator issue.

Unfortunately I did not see anyone having the same problem.

All other emulators work without any issues. It just affects Ikaruga on the Dreamcast.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I am running the most recent version of recalbox on an ODROID-XU4 and I am using a PS3 Controller.

@shadowfrenchy

I tested your old recalbox image with my Sega CD images - it works! So it is not an issue with my hardware or my images.

I have no idea why but it works. Since you confirmed the same issue with the new recalbox image I guess something broke on the latest release.

Thanks again to you for helping me finding the issue.

ありがとうございました！

PS: I hope the C2 gets more love in the future, too

@shadowfrenchy

Yes, it was your stick. I saw some other Games. PSP did work, Sega CD had the same error. I am pretty sure it was booting from USB because the language was french

I made another test and tried the retroOS "batocera". Sega CD did work there. How frustrating...

Maybe there where different Odroid C2 Hardware revisions?

@shadowfrenchy

Thanks for your link and guess what: Sega CD also does not work with your image. So I am totally at a loss now. Do you have any idea what could be the reason?

@shadowfrenchy

Thank you. Please give me some time, I will take a look at it as soon as possible.

I will give you feedback then

@shadowfrenchy

I already sent you my E-Mail like an hour ago

@shadowfrenchy

Sounds great. Do I just flash it on to my SD Card and boot from it?

@shadowfrenchy

Hey there,

my guess is that the newest release has an issue with those systems.

Is there a link to an older version of recalbox for the Odroid C2?

@shadowfrenchy

I did some more testing. I still have a few Raspberrys here so I ran some tests with a Raspberry Pi 3 - everything works with the recalbox version for Raspberry. So it is not an Image or BIOS issue but definitely an Odroid C2 version issue.

I can also confirm, that the latest Odroid C2 version has no 32x folder.

So I guess I have to wait until or if the next Odroid C2 version gets a fix for those issues.

Its unfortunate that the Odroid C2 does not get the same support as the Raspberry (in general). It is even more powerful then the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ making it a great small retrosystem

@shadowfrenchy

Hey there,

thank you for contacting me

I do not have a folder named "sega32x" - maybe 32x support got removed in the latest recalbox release for the C2?

Is there a way to obtain an older version of recalbox? The website only shows the newest release.

Maybe an older version will work with Sega CD better so I would try that first. Can anybody give me a link for the 18.03.16 Odroid C2 version?

It still puzzles me because the images I made do work with a different system, so I do not think the images are the issue.

@shadowfrenchy

Hey there - thank you for your reply

I made another backup from my Sega CD games using the .cue / .bin format. Unfortunately it still doesn't work.

I tried two games: Time Gal and Sonic CD - both do not work. Only difference now: the screen stays black. I have to end the emulator to return to the Menu (with Hotkey+Start).

These games work with a different retroOS (RetroPi) so I do not know what I am doing wrong here.

The BIOS is OK too - the MD5 matches and it shows up as valid on the Manager Website.

I agree - the PSP emulation works very good.

I do not know how to test 32x games because there is no 32x folder for the games.

Thanks again

I checked the logs and found this - I don't know if it's helpful, tho - the last lines after I tried to start a Sega CD ISO:

Is anybody here who runs an Odroid C2 without those issues with PSX and Sega CD Games?

Thank you for your assistance.

I am using an Odroid C2 Hardware with a good power supply.

I also can rule out an issue with the ISOs as well - I created them myself and they are working on a different retroOS (like RetroPi) without any issues (both PSX and Sega CD ISOs).

I also have the matching BIOS files for the Sega CD and the PSX . They are placed in the correct directory and I also checked the MD5 hash.

Hello there,

I have two issues. The first one is a stuttering issue with PSX Games.

PSX Games are choppy and are stuttering - making playing PSX Games impossible.

The second issue is a Sega CD iso issue - loading a iso File will result in a black screen and then returning to the Game selection Menu.

I already tried a different TV and those Games and isos run on a different retro system (like RetroPi) without issues. Also PSP Emulation works great, so I guess I can rule out an hardware issue.

Can somebody help me or point me into the right direction?

Thanks in advance for your help

Edit: I am using recalbox 18.03.30
