Make sure your DC has good horizontal/flat space behind it to use their devices.

Absolutely, they're good but fiddly, lack of rear horizontal space led to me just going DCDigital

. I don’t have a DreamPi, but loading up deathmatch in 1 player tournament mode works fine for me…

Is there a Discord for the site?

I understand, thank you very much.

If you flash the image, there's no need to go with out-of-box install. With the flashed image, it's pretty much plug-and-play.

Hi. I am starting to set up my online using the DreamPi method, and I wanted to know if I have to fully set up the RaspberryPi I'm using with the official OS before writing the DreamPi image, or if there's no need for the OS and I only write the image.

If no one beats me to it, I'll try and check that one on my gdemu later

VMU Pro preorders are up on 8BitMods now. Got mine in. Though I still need to figure out how to properly use my VM2 lol

Turning off blue retro seems to fix the hang up. Overall I'm thinking of ditching blueretro for usb4maple with Bluetooth dongle

I found that the blueretro will hang boot ups with dreamshell. It's odd because it's not all the time. But when it does hang it it can cause read errors off the SD card or on ide it won't load dreamshell. If I'm in retro dream and try to go to ds it can hang with just a black screen

Well I'm convinced that blueretro, usb4maple, and SD card mods are not compatible with one another

Lol I dont think thats me, is there another peanut running around?

peanut are you the dreamcastlive dude?!

Pick up a usb sd card reader/writer to write the dreampi image to an sd card. They are pretty cheap and found everywhere.

Anyone know the trick for blue retro and dreamshell vmu formatting? Doesn't seem to be doing the trick

LVI finally coming in tomorrow!!! my only problem is idk how to flash dreampi to my rpi without an sd card slot on my pc.... gonna try to tediously do it on the rpi itself

darn.. not having any luck getting this to be recognized

I will give it a shot and use 5v rail instead of the 3.3v for the breakout board

reading speed is twice as fast

For power, it's better to use a 5V to 3.3V DC-DC converter for the SD card, during Dreamcast and NAOMI systems place the highest load on the 3.3V rail.

ah a very important note on that 3.3v line

Which sucks cause now I don't have the fancy spring loaded card

Sweet, I pinpointed my issue to the SD card breakout board. I used an SD adapter and no more issues

no it will be in the next version, but the new driver is not for the SD-serial adapter

Or is the new driver already in 4.0.1?

Would love to test it out. I have some 32gb oni SD cards I will test. It's odd as it seems like the SD card works for a bit then it warms up and drops the SD card reader. I don't have the bottom heat shield on so I don't know if that is the root cause

Ian Micheal wrote: ↑Tue May 13, 2025 11:40 am Well may not of seen the news but sd card speed on dreamshell has doubled or more with the new driver

I heard about this but couldn't find information

I tested the DreamShell boot with this mod today and the boot speed just amazed me, despite the fact that I participated in writing this driver and did a lot of tests, I didn't imagine that it would work so fast in the operating system

This is a completely new mod that does not connect to the serial port, but is soldered to the motherboard to an unused SCI port.

I have a stack of Lexar and Panasonic cards that can't be recognized. They are decades old and ultra cheap. From an era when 16MB cards were fresh.

I 2nd this, Oni cards are fantastic.

Oni walmart cheap cards work perfect never had a problem use fullsize card

That is great, but the cheap SD adapters are still picky. I read on SWAT forums a while back that it's class 6 or bust. Class 10 to be certain. Off brand SD just don't play nicely.

Well may not of seen the news but sd card speed on dreamshell has doubled or more with the new driver

Every serial sd adapteris a fickle POS. They require the best of the best SD cards, bar none. I wish it weren't so.

Yeah Naomi is the arcade version similar to dreamcast hardware, If I'm not mistaken it has 8MB of audio RAM, 16 MB of VRAM, 32 MB of Main RAM

Oh, thx man!

Naomi is the arcade board that's similar to Dreamcast hardware

also what's a sega naomi? i recently just heard about it

whoa, technology stuff

All builds are subject to random failures. You can close the prompt and start over and it will begin where it left off. This may happen multiple times before completion.

@al73r Have you checked the logs or tried a clean rebuild? Sometimes clearing the cache can help too. Oddly enough, I'm troubleshooting a similar hang in a completely different space—working on some furniture ecommerce rendering where a stuck build caused all 3D assets to hang. Tech gremlins don’t discriminate

0 [main] make 42440 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to make.exe.stackdump

miami is building now but it suddenly stopped on this line

welp got it workin!

wonder why its doing that

hmm that is pointing at the wrong location for the repack that was created

hmm getting this error now

Assertion failed: removedTexture, file ../src/tools/texconv.cpp, line 366
make: *** [repack-data/liberty/models/menu.txd] Error 3

readme is totally different in beta

yeah I see tha tnow!

You can find beta build instructions on the main gitlab page.

There's a completely different structure between alpha and beta. You can't rename the ELF, you need to copy the repository anew and build from scratch. If you have an old folder structure, the naming will be off. And the executable will not dupe the conversion programs properly.

the img is in that folder yet the tool can't find it hmmm

well what is going on here make: *** No rule to make target `../../liberty/models/gta3.img', needed by `repack-data/unpacked'. Stop

the best of them, tougher than leather

here i come, rougher than the rest of them

had to install the offline version, rename the liberty.elf to dca3.elf, and run source /usr/opt/toolchains/dc/kos/environ.sh

hmm my kallistios is not instlaling in dreamsdk :-/

grr

Snes4all is more optimized than dreams es. I will post both in my post. Will have a breakdown for SSD/SD/hd users and gemu

There are no SNES emu with full speed across the board, only specialized images with optimized settings for specific romsets. I don't recall them off hand but I know I've seen them.

well I got mame fully working but the rom set is meh... almost don't want to include it in the post - i do have a full mame romset I could update it with but i'm not sure its worth the effort viewtopic.php?t=13356

need to get a mame iso release and we are looking golden for a big write up

aww yeah neo geo locked in

I do wish dreamsnes ran a bit smoother.. needs a bit more optimization .. anyone know of a snes emulator that runs full speed?

aww yeah I have a release of dreamsnes098 with a full rom set incoming!

woo fixed the IMR xmas release on ssd!!
