fabricix commented 3 years ago

What I do

I put the BIOS (working on batocera linux) in the 'Home Directory' /home/fabricio/.config/reicast inside of a sub-folder data, like is mentioned on settings BIOS should be in a sub-folder named data

The problem

The program can not find the BIOS files:00:46:360 rend/gui.cpp:1702 E[BOOT]: No BIOS file found

you seem to be using standalone version, i don't know much about it, maybe @flyinghead can help ?

fabricix commented 3 years ago

I tested the compiled binaries on https://flyinghead.github.io/flycast-builds/ , in particular those fh/multi-render with test-results and the issue continues. @barbudreadmon is this you are suggesting?

fabricix commented 3 years ago

I tried with this version image and the issue continues: rend/gui.cpp:1817 E[BOOT]: No BIOS file found

fabricix commented 3 years ago

when I tried the lasted binaries I got a lib error: ./flycast: error while loading shared libraries: libminiupnpc.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I am not sure it is related with the reported issue here.

flyinghead commented 3 years ago

You should use the standalone flycast github for this: https://github.com/flyinghead/flycast Your last error is due to a missing dependency: libminiupnpc Also the config and data directories have changed: .config/flycast and .local/share/flycast respectively (no more data subfolder)

I suggest you come to our discord where we can help further.

@flyinghead are you referring to use the lasted binary (this-2021-01-09T17:20:58.000Z)? I already installed the libminiupnpc17 (2.1.20190824-0ubuntu2), shouldn't it work?

You seem to be using an Ubuntu 20 distribution. The flycast Ubuntu binary is compiled on 18.04. You might have to compile from source instead.
