yes...it's suprise me when I first saw it at http://gameguru.box.sk/ news:

Its name is NullDC it will be presente at the MadriDC party. The emulator is done by some members of the ICARUS project. For now the emulator is WIP. And here is it's status:

-A debug console for SH4 and Arm7 (great tool and very well done)
-Plug-ins
-KOS app run 100% ok and very fast (great compatibility)
-Sound not working (WIP)
-Open source
-BIOS screen emulation

I have high hope for this thing...

I talked to one of the devs and they are not quite ready to go public yet... so we will not post on mainpage until they are ready. drk||Raziel told me some of those website dont have the accurate information of the project due to a bad translation of DCiberia's original post (which he told me he's gonna request for it being taken down...)

Aniways, looks very promising but ill wait for soemthing official by them

Yes, ZeZu told me that there were many false claims:

- KOS is not 100% at 100% speed.
- It will not be released at MadriDC.
- It is not yet open source.

Well basically they said DC emulation can't be done with today's hardware so when chankast came out and prove them wrong, they disappear.

you do your homework as well then, cos they NEVER said that.

and FYI, chankast contained a lot of info from the icarus team

If I remember the story correctly, Icarus flew too high, the sun melted the wax, the feathers got loose, and he plummeted to his death.

Wonder why they picked 'Icarus' as the project name, anyway.

well admittedly icarus had a difficult goal, but as you could see from the screenshots it wasnt a useless emulator, it actually did something.

the biggest problem was most of the devs seemed to dissapear so zezu was stuck on his own, unfortunately an emulator like that is too bigger job for one man, so the project stopped.

but now zezu and drk||Raziel have started up a new team, theyre more equipt and they have a lot of information due to the reverse engineering done back in the icarus days, not to mention a fresh start

Just did a little homework on Icarus (/slap Reich), the project was postponed because he couldn't pay his rent and needed to invest his time in a job. Its nothing to do with how Icarus was coming along.

Well MadriDc was yesterday ,any news from there ?
I know it's not a matter of release now but did they show it at least ?

Quzar · March 14th, 2006

It was not shown at madridc and it was stated it wouldn't be release. ron is usually overzealous about releases and when he gets any information about something presents it as if it is to be released.

This is not really a continuation of Icarus, from what I've heard from Zezu and drk, this was a bit of a side project to an emulator for one of the arcade systems. The information that was found when working on Icarus was used, but it isn't Icarus reborn or anything, it's an all new project. At least, that's what I've gathered.

**Chrono Archangel** · March 14th, 2006

You guys should forget about this project for now. As far as i know, I don't think it'll be revealed anytime soon...

Ohh and like Quzar said, even though ZeZu worked on Icarus, this project is not a continuation of Icarus.

This is making my head spin.

A message to all Dreamcast emualtor developers.

Get a working emualtor first before you start making all these bloody announcements about the release date.
