Let’s set up Flycast correctly. I will cover the (Windows/Linux) and the RetroArch core (Multi-platform).

: The main system ROM (sometimes found as dc_bios.bin and must be renamed). dc_flash.bin : Contains system settings and time data.

The location where you must place these files depends on which version of Flycast you are using: 🖥️ Standalone (Windows/Linux)

The reason is architectural. Cartridge-based consoles (like the SNES or Genesis) execute code directly from the cartridge. The BIOS wasn't strictly necessary for most games after booting.
