do any dc emulators work?

Soylvak · December 23rd, 2001

All the emulators i tried don't work. is there one that will work correctlt?

**Prafull** · December 23rd, 2001

No none of them work with commercial games right now and dont expect any dc emulator that really works in recent times.it will take some time.See the dc emu section, there is some discussion about it already there.

Soylvak · December 23rd, 2001

isn't anyone smart enough to make one that works? i mean they made good psx emulators...i guess ill have to start programming and make one that works or something.

That's a good one ! There are many smart people and they do what they can , you ignorant ! They do this as a hobby , not for your fun ! If this dosn't satisfay you , then make your one emu !

Here is one.. But the only game it plays is Namco Museum.. And it's damn slow too.. Well, it's a start... hehe..

Actually, i was just hoping for dc emu programmers to visit this post and they would be like:
- Hey, some guy at emuforems sayz we are to stupid to make a descent dc emu.
- Heuh, you know what that means.
- Yeah, never mind about x-mas, well spend all our time making a dc emu that works for every game.
- yep.
- alright then.
- yep.

And then everyone would be happy cuz they could play dc on theyre comp after x-mas.

Just to add to two of them.Another very promising one.

Soylvak · December 24th, 2001

Boobcast??....ya, sounds very promising,and who cares if ONE game runs...i want soul caliber to run on an emu.

**Ryos** · December 24th, 2001

The main problem is the DC was an unsuccessful system, so comparably few people are interested in wasting the time trying to emulate it.

Sephiroth XII · December 25th, 2001

Well, quite annoying everybody goes asking will it play this or this and so on..

To think - how long did it take to emu PSX like ePSXe does?
Then look at DC, it's graphics etc, and think again...

Now Dreamcast is really cheap, so buy it instead waiting for a emu.. Cause we will have to wait terribly long...

Soylvak · December 27th, 2001

Well i like alot of games on dc like...soul caliber,power stone 2 and skies of arcadia...thats why i want dc to be emulated.

Do what I do.... buy a DC for US$49.99.... it's way cheaper than any console out there, and you don't have to wait for it to be emulated.

Ozzy · December 27th, 2001

Aren't the DC's disks in propriety format (GD-rom or whatever)? I'd imagine it would be hard as heck to play them on a regular cd-rom.

Sephiroth XII · December 27th, 2001

That's what roms are for - Emu's will use ISO's of the GD-Disks..

Ozzy · December 27th, 2001

Are you serious? DC games are at least 1 gig in size, I believe.

Sephiroth XII · December 27th, 2001

Yeah, serious.
Or maybe it will use re-burned GD on a CD (with cutout stuff the merge in for 700MB)...

**kairi00** · December 27th, 2001

While the GD-ROM format allows for up to 1GB of data stored in a CD, most games don't use up all the space. The (unfortunate) side effect of this is that a lot of games would fit just fine on regular CDRs.

Ya 50 buck u.s thats nice but theres only one small problem.....I live in freakin canada man its like a 100 bucks here...i'm notrich you know,i got a bit of money at x-mas but what i got most is socks man....You can't buy much with socks you know!

A gb disk only has 700megs room for games. It's split in 3. The first part is a boot part and if you try to copy it only the boot part will be copied and the 2. part is some copyright stuff and the 3. part is the game.

What ever you do don't buy a new DC. They can't play backups and it's cheaper to buy a used one. I bought a used one with 2 controls 3 memorycards and 40 games for 187 USD incl. postage

Ee.. That's what Utopia Boot Disk is for, yes?
