I decided to download every Usenet post of Dreamcast games. One of them had a link about the new emulator version. Two things I can tell you having tested TONs of games...

1. A lot of games no longer boot

2. Some games, racing in particular look much better, but the menus are not as readable with all the filters. However, they look awesome!

To test whether a game runs, I still use the old sequence of Null DC 100b1_6, then Chankast, THEN NullDC 1.0.3...

Also, some of these Japanese games are the weirdest fricking things I have ever seen, lol. I don't know if I'm just watching Anime or supposed to push buttons or what, lol.

With the old version of NullDC it ran at the correct speed. I have gotten a new CPU since I ran the old version though. I used to have a Pentium Dual Core 1.6ghz but now I have a Core 2 Duo 3.0ghz. My video card is a GeForce 7300. I have 2GB of RAM.

Anyone having similar problems with the new release or know of a fix?
Did you try Settings/Underclock FPU? And make sure Sync Audio is checked. I have 2-in-1 of Border Down and Ikagura that runs nice and slow for me.

Also you can probably find a program that slows your PC down as you play games that run too fast. How does Draconis run? It is still slow on my lap, I have similar specs but it's onboard graphics but it runs. Draconis looks awesome in the new emu. Like an XBox game. But very few games have ran but the ones that do (DOA2) are well worth seeing.
