Dreamcast games will not load - Computer 64 bit

noelburke82

Hi there,

I have recently setup a 64bit Batocera system on my PC.

I have set this up almost exactly the same as my Odroid and Raspberry Pi 3 (which load Dreamcast fine).

When I try to run a Dreamcast game on my 64bit machine, the game goes to loads, the screen goes black and I am back at the Dreamcast screen.

I have all the correct BIOS files loaded into the BIOS folder, so I don't think this is the issue.

I have not upgraded the onboard video yet, so I don't know if this is a related issue (I have a PCI-Express card coming soon).

Note that all other primary systems work fine (Nintendo, Sega)

Any suggestions?

go in menu => system => information.
in opengl line, you need version 3.1 so that it works.

nadenislamarre On my opengl line, there is version 2.1. Is there anything I can do to make it work?

Thanks, it sounds like it is due to the internal graphics card.
Once I have the new card I'll report back

graphical card or drivers for this card.

how does one obtain and install drivers for their graphics cards on batocera?

nadenislamarre

Drivers are already included on batocera.
You can only wait an update that would include an update of your drivers including a better support for your card.

dreamcast should work better in the next release.

nadenislamarre
