New Dreamcast Emulator -- Kagerou -- In Development

JinSuzuki · August 7th, 2003

Kagerou, a Dreamcast emulator designed to play Dreamcast commercial disks in currently in development and the web site is planned to premiere very soon. I will post the link when it does.

Upset by the delays and forgotten Icarus, the developer has had ideas and technical ideas and has recently started development a few weeks ago.

Kagerou has no complicating technical terms, it you have to do is set your controls and insert your dreamcast disk, and then push Play CD.

Release to the beta is planned to release on October 1st, and the beta is planned to play most Dreamcast disks and then hopefully if the beta is successful, the final will be released shortly after.

Link to web site will be posted shortly.

Developer is a friend of mine who goes by the name Tonka. You may have heard of him.

Sorry if it doesn't sound so informative, my English isn't all that good. The info comes from Tonka. He wants to bring the Dreamcast back to life and hopefully this will do a sufficient amount.

Hello, JinSuzuki. This Emulator probably is a fake, because there is no "inserting the DC CD". No drive but the DC can read them.

Thumbs up! that's cool man! another emulator in progress!

**Chrono Archangel** · August 7th, 2003

like he said you cant put a cd and play......-_-

**Kane** · August 7th, 2003

It's possible if you are playing a rip, but I'm skeptical.... It's a shame that a couple of years in the emu community does that to you, but hey.
If it's real then all my best, but like I said, I am now an uber skeptic.

weve seen just to many of them so its really hard to beleive straight from the start that its real... i always hope their real

Galway no Sora · August 8th, 2003

The same. It'd better to post the spec of PC that can run it, as I want to know if he listed CD ROM drive to read GD disc

.

**Razor Blade** · August 8th, 2003

Cool! I hope it truly is real.

Even though I dont have any dreamcast games but Woo Hoo. The more the marrier.

brujah® · August 27th, 2003

It's cool. It's great.

it's fake?

excuse my arrogance but... ok ok...October is near...

Tony · August 31st, 2003

It's a fluke.

Regulus · August 31st, 2003

its gotta be. but you never know......thats what they said about uHLE.....

mr.saraiva · August 31st, 2003

that last line was funny :ROTFLMAO:

mr.saraiva · August 31st, 2003

Maurice Chavéz has something to say...
Back to pressing issues, and the issue here is: FAKE!

(GTA:VC,VCPR)

Ps.: I think he should team up with Pastor Richards to build that Pastor Richard´s Salvation Statue, so when people are bored up there, they can simply put their GD-ROMS on their computers and use Kagerou to play them...

**Kellicros** · August 31st, 2003

That's why I do not encourage announcing your emulator if you have not came out with the complete/near complete release. It will always end up being seen as a fake. Well, it sounds fishy to me but if it is the real thing, I'd say, best of luck on your project.

TerrorShocked · August 31st, 2003

Just some words of wisdom, we do not take fake emulators very lightly. Fake emulator authors will be indefinitely banned on the spot, no question.

Regulus · August 31st, 2003

Keep in mind JinSuzuki is not the Emu autor.....he says its a friend......

You may have heard this a couple times but, No... Thats like saying GC discs can be read on a PC DVD-Rom Drive...

Exophase · September 3rd, 2003

While the post seems credible and sincere enough, I don't really see this happening. I don't think this is an intentional hoax like many emulators, but... it also seems unlikely.. not enough details either. My guess is that very little of this (any?) is actually done and the author is oversighting what he will be able to accomplish and setting a near due date for it too. This is very unwise, and unfortunately other emu authors have fallen prey to this.. and their reputation was really hit hard because of it (HairyBuddha for instance)... but at least there wasn't any exact harm meant by it. Still, take it with a grain of salt.

If this is real then I will say that it's an incredibly breakthrough. I'm just a skeptic.. but I'll give it a chance to prove itself, of course.

well, i think gd-rom insertion may be possible with certain dvd- or cdrom-drives as the data-density is only slightly higher than that of a real cd. since the size of a gd doesn't differ (if my eyes aren't that bad) and most of the newer drives are able to read 99min CDRs which also have the same radius as any other odinary 74min CDR. the real problem would be to manually switch from normal mode (beginning) to "high-dens" mode i guess. another problem is how to access a gd with existing cdrom-drive firmwares? one has to modify/hack it to do the trick...
though the possiblity is there i doubt that this procedure is worth developing since liksang is selling gd-units (made for dc). y not build a pc-compatible controller? *rofl*
