Flycast - Dreamcast Question

Post by FrizzleFried » Sun Mar 09, 2025 12:55 am

Flycast runs most NAOMI games fine...

...however all my Dreamcast games come up squished to just the top 40% or so of the screen. I can go in to flycast and change to full screen but I can't get it to save the setting. Every time I leave and then come back... I have to go in to every Dreamcast game to adjust.

Is there a ways to make an adjustment to a cfg file to save this?

Thanks!

Don't.

This will (most likely) be a logic issue in the launcher somewhere that i've missed due to mainly being interested in arcade games or having only tested it at the default 240p only setting.

I'll take qa look today and get back to you with the right answer.

...sounds like a plan. Holding off...

just put the 2 files in the zip in /boot/[firmware]/launchers/ replacing the originals - there's a possiblility some other RA cores may also be affected by this change, I only tested a few.
