what ARE the dc emulators now?

for maybe half a year, and in NGEmu's last poll, i heard of DC emulation gettin started. is this true? i know they don't run commercial games, since i heard that all over too. but, what are the current dc emus that run anything at all?

i'd rather run emus for it than emus on it. personally i think the DC is much better than the PSX. the DC has some great games as well. but oh well.... guess we'll have to see how everything turns out

It's probs gonna be a bit like the Saturn emulation. People seem more interested in PS2 emulation. Personaly at the mo, I'd prefer to see more progress on DC emulation (That's just because my machine is more likely to run it )

I'd really like to see some real progress with saturn emulation., But I have low hopes for it. As I can';t even read the websites that design the emulators.

As far as a DC emulator goes. I what good it'd do me as the Dreamcast uses the Gd-rom discs and you need a special piece of hardware to burn them to cd.

Unless of course you went the ilegal route... Which I do not condone or endorse =p

My DVD drive can't. I'll give it that it's old. (4x DVD drive)

But I do believe it can't be because it took 1 year 2 months before someone finally cracked the Gd-rom format in Hong Kong, Once it was done, pirated copies on CDR disks influxed galore.


Edit: Nintendo's gamecube format is similar to the GD-rom format, it was done so people couldn't pick up a PSX game (like today you can) and pop it into a burner and make copies.

Yes, it does run Bomberman, but I thought it was the homebrew version.

Well I mean there are a lot of great DC games out there. I do hope that they could eventually find a way to make DC emu's play commercial games in the near future. Keep it up guys
