+The "World" BIOS file and USA flash file which should work fine for the massive majority of games.

-^ ES option name ^ ''batocera.conf'' line ^ Description ^ Recommendation ^
+Alternative BIOS files that are also acceptable:
-| SYNCHRONOUS RENDERING | ''dreamcast.reicast_synchronous_rendering'' | When threaded rendering is on (on by default), waits for the GPU to finish rendering the frame before dropping the current one. This can avoid certain emulation issues (flashing screens, glitchy video). Significant performance cost. | Auto, as in erase the line. ''disabled'' for most games as they don't experience issues (or you have a weak machine), ''enabled'' if the game has these particular issues. |
-| VIDEO RESOLUTION | ''dreamcast.reicast_internal_resolution'' | Enhancement. Increases the rendering resolution. Makes 3D objects clearer. Significant performance cost. Values: ''640x480'', ''1280x960'', ''1920x1440'', ''2560x1920'' and other multiples of 640x480 up to ''12800x9600''. | ''640x480'' for native, closest your screen's resolution if your system can handle it. Absurdly high values can degrade image quality (pixels beginning to shimmer). |
-| TEXTURES MIP-MAPPING (BLUR) | ''dreamcast.reicast_mipmapping'' | Enables [[:anti-aliasing#mip-mapping|mip-mapping]] to smooth out textures on distant 3D objects based on distance and angle. Dreamcast games natively utilized mipmapping to get extra performance out of the hardware, but the extra bluriness from doing this is more apparent on modern, higher fidelity screens. Has a minimal performance cost. | ''enabled'' should be used in conjunction with anisotropic filtering to mitigate bluriness. Some users may prefer the 'sharpness' of ''disabled'' better. |
-| ANISOTROPIC FILTERING | ''dreamcast.reicast_anisotropic_filtering'' | Enables [[:anti-aliasing#anisotropic_filtering|anisotropic filtering]] to enhance perspective textures. Dramatically improves the clarity of textures on distant 3D objects when mip-mapping is turned on, especially at higher internal resolutions. Test Drive: Le Mans is the only Dreamcast game that natively utilizes this. Has a small performance cost. Values: ''False'', ''2'', ''4'', ''8'' or ''16''. | ''16'' when mip-mapping is also enabled, ''False'' otherwise. |
-| TEXTURES UPSCALING (XBRZ) | ''dreamcast.reicast_texupscale'' | Enhancement. Applies [[:anti-aliasing#texture_enhancement|xBRZ upscaling to textures]] to improve their clarity. Improvements are subjective. Values: ''False'', ''2x'', ''4x'' or ''6x''. | ''False'' |
-| RENDER TO TEXTURES UPSCALING | ''dreamcast.reicast_render_to_texture_upscaling'' | Enhancement. Some 3D games would capture the screen output and render it as a 2D texture (eg. pause menu in Crazy Taxi and Dead or Alive), being unaffected by ''reicast_internal_resolution''. This setting multiplies the resolution of that capture. Example [[:anti-aliasing#dreamcast_render_to_texture_enhancement|here]]. Values: ''1x'', ''2x'', ''3x'', ''4x'' or ''8x''. | ''1x'' for native, ''4x'' for close-to 1080p rendering if also upscaling ''reicast_internal_resolution''. |
-| FRAME SKIP | ''dreamcast.reicast_frame_skipping'' | Skip frames to improve performance, at the cost of choppy motion. Higher values can cause motion sickness if used for extended periods. Values: ''disabled'', ''1'', ''2'', ''3'', up to ''6''. | ''disabled'' Should only be turned up on weak hardware and if immune to motion sickness. |
-| FORCE WINDOWS CE MODE | ''dreamcast.reicast_force_wince'' | Some Dreamcast games (marked "Powered by Microsoft Windows CE" on the box, eg. Sega Rally 2) utilized the MMU Windows Compact Edition API on the Dreamcast to run. Batocera should automatically detect this but in case it doesn't you can manually override it here. Significant performance cost. Values: ''disabled'' or ''enabled''. | Auto, as in erase the line. ''disabled'' unless needed. |
-| WIDESCREEN CHEAT (PRIORITY) | ''dreamcast.reicast_widescreen_cheats'' | Enhancement. Flycast has a database of cheats that can enable widescreen support in certain games, rendering them in [[wp>Anamorphic_widescreen|anamorphic widescreen]] without changing the internal resolution. | ''disabled'' Some games also natively support widescreen in their in-game options. |
-| WIDESCREEN HACK | ''dreamcast.reicast_widescreen_hack'' | Enhancement. Changes the internal resolution to a widescreen ratio (eg. 640x480 becomes 853x480). Somewhat glitchy. | ''disabled'' Some games also natively support widescreen in their in-game options. |
-| CONTROLLER 1 TYPE | ''dreamcast.controller1_dc'' | Chooses the controller plugged into port 1. Values: ''1'' for gamepad, ''3'' for keyboard, ''2'' for mouse, ''4'' for light gun. | ''1'' |
-| CONTROLLER 2 TYPE | ''dreamcast.controller2_dc'' | Same as above for port 2. | Same as above. |
-| CONTROLLER 3 TYPE | ''dreamcast.controller3_dc'' | Same as above for port 3. | Same as above. |
-| CONTROLLER 4 TYPE | ''dreamcast.controller4_dc'' | Same as above for port 4. | Same as above. |

 The recommended format for compressing disc images is [[:disk_image_compression#chd|CHD]].
-If compressing the image into the CHD format ensure that you are using chdman version 0.230 or later, as earlier versions have issues with Dreamcast images. If your compressed ROMs are failing to launch in Batocera, users have reported having more success making chdman target a ''.gdi'' file instead of a ''.cue'' file.
