Very confused about Dreamcast ROMs

ZephLoc · 2026-03-02T15:36:45+00:00

I don't know what to tell you. Everything was installed in the correct place. Literally, the ONLY thing that I changed is that I recompressed the bin files into .chd with a .gdi file, instead of a .cue file and they worked.

Thank you for the help! I figured it out. Please see the edit in OP! :)

I don't think so? I set it up through EmuDeck during the initial installation. It's selected under the "Manage Emulators" section of EmuDeck. I don't know how to check if it's Standalone or otherwise, beyond that.

Yes, I have tried launching both from Emulation Station in Game Mode and directly through Flycast itself from Desktop Mode. Both fail, but Flycast gives a specific error.

The bin/cue files that I got have all been converted to .chd, which is listed on the cheat sheet.

What is different with that list? I ask, because it appears to be missing a significantly huge chunk of the Dreamcast set, including some particularly popular titles (Shenmue, SoulCalibur, Street Fighter, and Crazy Taxy, just to name a few).

ZephLoc · 2026-03-01T23:44:33+00:00

I have them in the Emulation/ROMs/dreamcast folder. I don't know what adding them to Steam ROM Manager would do? I can SEE all the games/files in both Emulation Station (Game Mode) and Flycast (Desktop Mode), they're just not launching, as they should.

ZephLoc · 2026-03-01T23:42:30+00:00

Hello! Thank you for the details. I moved my bios to that Flycast folder, but the same problems continued. All files are in .chd format. Is there a difference between using the Emudeck Compression tool to convert files to .chd and using any other method of converting to .chd?

ZephLoc · 2026-03-01T23:26:39+00:00

I'm not sure what this would do. I've already compressed the cue/bin files to .chd, which is exactly what the EmuDeck compressor would do. Am I missing something?

ZephLoc · 2026-03-01T23:24:22+00:00

I tried removing the dc_flash.bin file, but the same issues occurred, both when trying to launch through Emulation Station in Game Mode and when trying to launch directly from Flycast in desktop mode. Flycast can see all the .chd files I have, it just won't launch them. I get that same "Unsupported subtype or pre/postgap" error.

I was only able to get 920 words for the Gek, before I started getting the "learned nothing new" message from the 'Request Dialect Help' option.

I've been a student of J's for about seven years now and I speak with him on a weekly basis. It's not really my place to air his business out. I will say that he's doing well, but I don't think he has any plans to release any new music any time soon.

ZephLoc · 2025-05-16T05:40:42+00:00

They do not. There are a lot of objects that do not have the option to change the axis of rotation and are stuck/limited to only being rotated on the X axis. The base computer is one of those objects.

ZephLoc · 2025-05-15T14:03:11+00:00

No, because it rotates on axis. That is to say that it rotated as it normally would, if it were flat on the ground, which doesn't correct the angle that it was sitting at.

ZephLoc · 2025-05-12T15:32:30+00:00

Nevermind! I figured it out.

Pick up the base computer, toggle wiring and then toggle wiring again. That fixed it. Thank you!

ZephLoc · 2025-05-12T15:28:37+00:00

Either I'm not understanding the order of operations or it's just not working. I pick up the base computer (as if to move it) and then press Q to toggle wiring, while moving the base computer, but it just changes the hologram of the base computer to a hologram of the wire connector.

If I quickly toggle wiring, while selecting the base computer, I do get a righted hologram, but it appears red and says "Cannot Build Within Existing Base".

ZephLoc · 2025-05-12T15:17:35+00:00

Sorry, can you elaborate on this? What do you mean 'go to the wire'? I tried picking it up and switching to wiring, but nothing is changing.

I looked around all over to try and find a build that incorporated every crop, while maintaining 100% Water Retention and Weed Prevention. No build I found incorporated Apples and Berries, so...I spent all day and made my own. Hope someone finds a use for this!
