NEW DreamCast Emulator: nullDC v1.0.0 Beta (Runs games at FULL SPEED!)

yeah I figured, I got that thing for like 35 bucks on sale. I just needed something that supported my WS monitor. I’ll stop being a bitch and pick up a new one. What do you guys recommend?

Wish I could put this EMU to use, thanks for posting though.

It happens whit all the games you try to make run?

I wouldnt worry about most of that, only the D3D error at the very end. There are lots of SH4 calls not implimented. Looks scary, but doesnt affect play.

Update your DirectX and try again.

yes, it does. :frowning:

Reading that error log, it seems like you need a dc_flash.(Usually when you download the dc bios, it comes whit it.)
Dump/Download a new one and see if it works.

Also, try updating your DirectX.

thanx to both of you, yet, i’ve downloaded another flash file and updated directx and i get this :frowning:
(thereafter, windows report that the application encountered a problem and has to be closed.)

Looks to me like he has one :slight_smile:

cichlasoma, try it with the chankast video plugin.

Maybe you should download the emulator again.
When you download it again, put it in another folder.Don’t unzip in the “C:” folder, unzip it on the desktop.
It works whit MAME.

EDIT: cichlasoma, the GUI shows up when you try to open the emulator?

:slight_smile: it works :slight_smile: !!!
thanx once more to both of you!
still, i suspect, i dont see everything i should (or the games are a bit weird… :slight_smile: ); i’ll post on it again after having examined it more thoroughly…

(street fighter: yes, i got the gui.)

Great work! Was wondering how you import game saves. Thanks.

so: i really see just some “layers” of the screen with the chankast video plugin (and DC isn’t as an avangarde platform as i believed it to be for a while… :wgrin: )
aren’t there some video plugins more?

So, how do you get Joy2Key to work with this? I was trying it with my 360 stick (that works perfectly with MAME) but it only recognizes three buttons and no movement…

Damn,now I gotta go find me a Marvel vs Capcom 2

Here’s a good tutorial: http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21675

I hope that helps! :wgrin:

Two things wrong with mine here…

I’m sure something is limiting my emu to do only 30fps… but what?

On the DOS screen I get constant errors, just streaming like a river but my game is running correctly still… is that alright?

Will this have usb LightGun support?

Or would Joy2Key work for that?

I wanna play House of the Dead 2 with a LightGun D:

shortboi get at least an ati x1900 xt or an nvidia geforce equivalent to that… don’t go lower…

Thanks.

a small tip to those complaining about street fighter 3 third strike’s screen alignment on nulldc/chankast…go here.

use the low resolution/anti aliasing code… which i believe is start + x. Press and hold it just before the capcom screen comes up. If done correctly you will notice that the game graphics are fully stretched to cover the whole screen.

no need to go to options and align the screen anymore :wink:
