dreamcast emu?

griever · October 1st, 2001

is there any that work good?

**Prafull** · October 1st, 2001

Currently there are only three dreamcast emus and none of them plays commercial games.
"Dreamer" was supposed to be best until recently and its said to play few demos and games ."Boobcast" is supposed to be the most advanced one and the third one "Dreamemu" has been updated recently with some screenshots.
I am really waiting for something big to happen on dreamcast emulation(I want to play Code veronica and Shenmue on my pc).

Here is a screen shot from pacman(i love pacman) in Dream emu . Head over to dreamemu's official site[Now I dont know for sure which sites have what content so I wont give the link(Dont want to mess up with our administrators)] to find out how the development is going(As I said earlier none of them plays commercial games officialy as yet.

not dead yet, and not expensive (very cheap)...you can't go wrong with it, IMO.

Um... what actually killed the Dreamcast? can't remember...
was it too expensive or did nintendo and sony got too big business (or somethin')

October 2nd, 2001

didn't sell enough, probably due to bad marketing.

Xenomorph · October 2nd, 2001

too bad...

October 2nd, 2001

yep....
you can get them very cheap now though, games too

**Shiori** · October 2nd, 2001

how about this sega saturn emu, ssemu? has anyone tried it?

October 2nd, 2001

no, but I heard it's not really good yet, and slow.

Xenomorph · October 2nd, 2001

Jaguar is also great... Jagulator is progressing well and I'm great AVP
fan... aliens

October 2nd, 2001

Erm, SSEmu died a super-long time ago..

October 2nd, 2001

And, btw, that's 'DreamPac', not Pacman for DC, or somesuch. It's a homedev'd project, not a commercial game.

**Shiori** · October 2nd, 2001

yeah, but i just got a copy of it from....somewhere, so i was wondering if it was at least developed enough so as to play some games (like 50% compatibility or so).

oh...well, there are a few more saturn emus I think? Probably mixed those up...either way they don't seem to do a lot yet.

50%? You've got to be kidding me.

At most, Dreamer is confirmed to run one commercial game, the wince-based Namco Museum Classics. Of course, the version that plays this is unreleased.

DreamEmu is supposed to be able to play one or two commercial games, or it is going to soon, again, unreleased.

boob!cast (hi CyRUS

) plays pretty much all homedev stuff, but no commercial games (afaik, that is).

There you have it.

Helpful info Cdburnout.Anyway I think shiori may have been talking about sega saturn emulator (not dreamcast ones).Now sometimes when people go bit offtopic it can be confusing.

I hope and pray more commercial games are playable soon(have to keep an eye on all 3 emus and may be some new one).

Battousai · October 8th, 2001

Yeah, I've heard a long time ago that Dreamer plays Namco Museum only. So I've gotta ask: "Why only Namco Museum?" What makes a commercial game any different from another that only Namce Museum will work? Did the developers insert some kind of code (to this effect)?

/* ignore the code, I'm making this up...*/

if GD-ROM id == "Namco Museum"
then WORK!!!
else
DON'T WORK!!!
/* end of my foolish post*/
