Does anyone know what the best Reicast build is to use since the official release hasn't been updated for years?  I'm trying to run Zero Gunner 2 but the graphics are very glitchy along with a few other games I've tried. Thanks!

I would imagine 12/31/16 from builds.reicast.com

I've tried a bunch of those builds including the latest 12/31 and for some reason they all crash the Reicast app.  The only one I've had success with is the official release.  Hopefully Reicast team releases something soon!

Try my build of reicast, optimised for cortex-a15 :
https://gameblabla.nl/files/reicast/reicast-cortexa15.apk

I might upload a more optimized one for the GPD XD with its Cortex-A17.

Tell me if this works properly on your XD, it works on my Fire HD.

Yes please,
Please build an optimised version  for the cortex a17.
Your compiled and optimised a15 build works fine on the GPD XD,

Here it is @collieindigo :
https://gameblabla.nl/files/reicast/reicast-cortexa17.apk

I don't own such a device, let me know if this works.

So my cortexA15 works properly but not the new build ? hmm...

The new build was compiled with more aggressive optimisations and a newer GCC so that's why it's smaller.
It's also possible that the GPD XD does not have in fact a Cortex A17 and hence why it may not work.

I uploaded a new version with less aggressive optimisations, please try it again.

Strange,
cortex a15 build is fine, a17 not.
Can you send me a new cortex a15 build with your newer GCC. Maybe it fails also.

Here's the cortex-15 build with the newer GCC version :

I appreciate the testing btw

I just tried my newer GCC build and it does not work...
Using the older one works on the other hand.
Seems like we may have found the reason why the builds at builds.reicast.com are crashing.

@gameblabla    How does your release improve upon the latest build release over at builds.reicast.com??
Thanks!
 

In the intro movie of Le Mans, the standard build runs at 41 FPS.
This build :
https://gameblabla.nl/files/reicast/reicast-cortexa15.apk
runs it at 43~44 FPS on my Fire HD tablet.

I tested so many versions of reicast.
None worked right.
debugg modeded, stable versions. Old versions.
Nothing. I also tested different bios versions. Renamed it.
But.
No lucky at all.
Get sometimes to work some titles. But after second start, crash........
I hate reicast.........
And the happy chick wont play my games at all.....

You tried on Legacy Rom ? The newer official firmware has some issues with 3D games.
Yes, reicast has some issues : it still doesn't support Aarch64 and it likes to randomly crash depending on the optimisations
and the compiler used.

Note that all games are not compatible : Le Mans & Shenmue 2 are two games known to crash right after the introduction screen.
Games like Power Stone on the other hand still work though.

The devs plan on making a kickstarter campaign to address the flaws of Reicast and finally work full-time on it.

You need to uninstall gamepad assistant app (bitgames centre) for reicast to work.

@konpia
Yes. I thougt it could be. On the error log always problems with the input device and java...
So.
Does i need the gamepad assistant?
Do the gamepad work also without this program? Or is it enough to deactivate it?

Thx

There are 2 apps with similar name, I am referring to the gamepad assistant, when you open this gamepad assistant app, it takes you to bitgames centre.

Added: Don't uninstall the Gamepad app (for on-screen buttons mapper). Uninstalling the Gamepad Assistant app doesn't affect the on-screen buttons mapper nor the functionality of the physical gamepad buttons on the GPD XD.
