DC emu question

librab103 · September 1st, 2002

Hello all. Is there a dc emu that i can use to run dc games on my computer from my cd-rom. If not then where do i go to find info on making a dc emu

**Kane** · September 1st, 2002

There is no DC emulator that currently runs commecial games acceptably.

**_E_** · September 1st, 2002

mmmm,............i think what lord Kane is saying is right, i think dreamer, can emulate partially some commerial games, but yet , there is no emulator which can run commerial games,...all present DC emus run demos and that kinda stuff

librab103 · September 1st, 2002

Hmmm... Whys that? Is it to compilcated to make one? Where can i go to get info on making a DC emu

Cyrus64's icarus is showing good progress, but is still a good distance from there.

It is very difficult to code an emu. DC is hard partaily because of the tile based rendering system (IIRC)

**_E_** · September 1st, 2002

true, and dont forget that the authors are doing that on their free time,...so i guess it would take a year until we can run commerial DC games.

librab103 · September 1st, 2002

what you talking about ?

SomeUserGuy · September 1st, 2002

he probably means it's a stupid thing to ask if one can make a dc emu just whenever they feel like it.

librab103 · September 2nd, 2002

never said it was going to be easy. I would like to know why can't you read GD-ROM CD's in a normal CD-ROM

**Kane** · September 2nd, 2002

Because the second track of a GD-Rom is not in a format that CD drives can read.
Either the lines are closer together, or there is little or no error correction data

Neojag · September 4th, 2002
