DC emu question - Page 2

**_E_** · September 4th, 2002

well,....................you can go for it if you want to........but rememebr that, IF , you were able to create one for the dreamcast, you ll need to dump the games from your dreamcast to your PC coz the DC cd wont work on the PC cd drive

JuniorCRB · September 5th, 2002

yes... but keep the original, and don't tell us how you copied it or burned it ect. and it will take expensive equipment (nuff said)

libra - well, its was kinda funny :P

librab103 · September 8th, 2002

how so????? what programming do you people use to write DC programs

**kairi00** · September 8th, 2002

librab103: for resources regarding DC emulation or DC-related coding, visit http://boob.co.uk and/or http://www.consolevision.com. Knowing C++ alone is not enough to write a DC emulator; you need to have a good understanding of how the Dreamcast works (i.e. the architecture - memory, CPU, tile accelerator, etc). The resources and the pages linked from those 2 pages should be able to help you get started.

um...thisstuffis wayover myhead

GD-ROM's definatly cannot be run on a PC! No way, no how.

JuniorCRB · September 16th, 2002

(cough) coders cable (cough)

**CyRUS64** · September 18th, 2002

gdroms *can* technically be read via many cd-drives. it just takes trickery.

JuniorCRB · September 19th, 2002

can't some dvd-drives handle gd-roms (why do i feel like i've talked about this b4?)

Darkon · September 19th, 2002

You're right JuniorCRB, some are able to read gd-roms but there are very few of them. I'm not a hardcore coder myself but don't you need a bit more than C++ to create an emulator?

I don't know, but you need to know the specs of the dreamcast and how to decrypt the files in the cd...

Just a thought...

**Kane** · September 19th, 2002

N, DVD rom drives can't normaly run GD-Roms, IIRC, you need some kind of firmware update.

JuniorCRB · September 30th, 2002

how?

Syed Fawad · September 30th, 2002

Sticking your DC in your PC. j/k

DC is damn cheap. Why don't you ppl get it?

JuniorCRB · September 30th, 2002

already do FYI

Syed Fawad · October 1st, 2002

So why do you want an emulator for it?
