You're probably not loading Reicast right.
You need to hold R down then start any switch installed game, instead of starting the game it will go to homebrew menu, from there start Reicast.
This works for SX OS and will prevent the crashing.

So the guy running reicast wants to license it differently so he call sell it, and the people who contributed are forcing him to remove their code if he does so? And if he does, it can't be in Retroarch? Sorry, all this dumb petty stuff is kind of over my head.
Not quite. They want to relicence as BSD, certain developers who contributed code do not agree with this change. Switching from GPL to BSD is non-trivial as it allows the usage of code in closed source products.
Retroarch is de-facto unaffected. Reicast as simply been forked as Beetle DC, retaining the GPL licencing. The said disgruntled developers will simply be working on that instead. Reicast could still use that code, but not if they relicence as BSD.
@davidgf please provide us with an update on your progress, we are all very excited about this project!
Of course, no need to rush any releases, but updates on progress would be highly appreciated
Thanks

I wouldn't ask for progress updates at this point. The main thing I'm worried about is if this version of reicast is screwed over because of this nonsense.
Whatever he's been working on for an updated version is safe. Any code he already pulled from the reicast repo is under the existing licence, and will stay as such, so he can keep working on the fixes he's been doing and release them under same existing licence, nothing changes. If the repo does change its licence in future then he won't be able to pull updates from it without changing licence. He could either rebase to another repo (the retroarch one or whatever) or keep his existing code and snag individual updates from another repo.
That's what I'd like to think, but with legal nonsense and that one leak of that chat log between davidgf and skmp talking about AtGames and some other company interested in their work on Reicast does line up with how much politics got involved with this emulator, RA, and who gets credit where and for what, etc., and other stuff that I, as someone who isn't a lawyer, wouldn't be an expert on, so an explicit statement would be reassuring, but it's not something I'm expecting in any way, shape, or form.

The forwarders cant make a widescreen hack only the emulator. They're probably just using patches.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
-
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
