RetroArch Dreamcast Core Setup Guide - How To Play Sega Dreamcast Games With RetroArch

In this quick guide, I walk through the steps to configure RetroArch to play Dreamcast games using the FlyCast Dreamcast core. This guide covers downloading and installing the FlyCast core and shows you where to place the Dreamcast BIOS files. However, it is not mandatory as Flycast has a built-in BIOS that offers a good level of compatibility.

Check out the written guide on our website:

Things you'll need before you start:
1. PS2 Game Disc Image
2. A Controller (Not absolutely required, but certainly recommended, as it's quite awkward to play Dreamcast games using a keyboard!)

I can't seem to find this core in iOS. or Gamecube. Maybe its an Apple thing?

[josephfrye]

hmm i need a bios the Usa canada bios european austrilian bios and of course the japanese bios to work this thing. on retroarch but I got the steam version btw.

[lucazarts]

Thank you, sir! This video is super straight forward and super useful. Would you say one could have a solid gaming experience with this setup on a laptop running windows with a i7-8565U processor + Nvidia GPU with 4GB DDR5?

[Tugennov]

Thanks. How do you emulate multi-disk games like Shenmue? Cheers.

I'm having an issue with one specific game Jedi power battles. Running retroarch on series x. All my other DC games run perfectly but with Jedi Power battles, the game starts to boot up and then retroarch crashes and im kicked back to the series x dashboard...I've tried getting a new rom file, using chd, and nothing seems to work. any ideas on whats going on?

How can I get the flycast core for Retroarch, with Chrome and nothing else?

[DevaPein]

my retro arch does not have anything like download core. mine is the one on steam and it does not have this. all i want to do is play hydro thunder on dreamcast bruh
(literally found it right after but it is literally a different menu all together honestly) i admit was rather confusing for me. im not exactly computer smart, i admit

[AraynKnawmd]

The game on Retroarch keeps freezing I am playing sonic adventure one

[Casey_and_Cars]

I can never get my Xbox One controller to work with Dreamcast or Saturn.

[jsjago]

All my Dreamcast games are all lagging in Flycast..why?

[KnightMMG]

Retroarch don't like Dreamcast at all, it's the only system I've had an issue with so far.

[josuedejesus]
