Reicast standalone

So I saw there was already a thread related to a retroarch core (Anyone got reicast to work? Jet Set Radio Future), but I just tried to build reicast from the sources at: GitHub - skmp/reicast-emulator: Reicast was a multiplatform Sega Dreamcast emulator

It compiled ok, and the resulting binary runs, but seems to have a GL error.

Just wondering if this is to be expected, because of the Lima drivers, or if there might be a way to get it working? Thanks!

I don’t believe that clockworkpi can run dreamcast emulation. Even with a perfect lima driver working.

Yeah, I wasn’t expecting anything close to full speed either, but it would have been fun to see something come up at all. The resolution alone would make it pretty terrible, even if it did work and could be scaled to 320x240.

(Now I’d just be happy to get my old system working again. I posted this before I realized I didn’t have Lima working under Buster.)
