Some days ago I posted an issue about Airforce Delta running on
NullDC beta v. 1.6 ( last version ). This game runs very well while playing, with very good graphics and full speed on my PC, but has problems to LOAD save games ( it HANGS while loading save games ). I had been told it could be a bad ISO problem ( corrupted ISO ) or a flash problem.
I tried 3 different versions of the same game, one was a backup of the one I usually play on my Dreamcast and the others I downloaded from torrent sites. I made all them self boot with exoboot or bin2boot.
The noticeable thing is that this game does not have this problem if you run it on DEMUL, another emulator. DEMUL loads the saved games of Airforce Delta without problems, no hang, the only problems are bad graphics in DEMUL ( half screen display like CHankast showed for this game ).
So I think there is some kind of uncompatibility between NULLDC and Airforce Delta...
I hope any of NULLDC authors could read this issue and told me how to fix this problem, I am dissapointed as I love military combat sims and this is the only for the Dreamcast !
And if someone can make a selfboot game of Airforce Delta and can test it in NULLDC I would be very grateful to know if he can succeed or not to load the save games ! Thanks in advance..

nullDC was not support the memorycard format.
Just like "dynamte cop 2" was.
Chankast was support it, Just choice "VMS with LCD".

I have Nulldc b1.6 up and running (Soul Calibur, House of the Dead 2, Project Justice all working very well) Unfortunately some games just go to a white screen or the audio cd screen and won't go any further. These are games that I know other have got running i.e Virtua Tennis, Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi. Any Idea's I am using the the nullPVR, Image Reader and the nullAICA plugins

Thanks
Andy

Sega rally 2 goes to the audio cd screen ..if anyone has got that working?

[mrbonner]

Question about fullscreen. In mine the only option is 640x480. Is that the only option?

If you're being dumped straight to the Audio screen, it means the CD isn't self-bootable

ah ok ..ill try the exoboot thing the fella above mentioned ..see if that works ..

hate to ask a noob question ..please be gentle with me .. i only ask because i want to get stuck into headhunter story mode ..i cant seem to save the game files at all .. always says you need certainn amount of save blocks needed .. i moved over the chankast vmu plugins etc but still cant save anything .. this is the last prob im having ..otherwise this is just an awesome emu and thnx for the effort put in

[sabin1981]

That's not a noob question at all, it's a NEWBIE question

There's a WORLD of difference, trust me. Easy to fix too, IIRC. Run NullDC but without a game mounted/in-drive, so that you get to the BIOS screen. Open the memory card browser and click on the VMU. It should give you the option to format (I can't remember EXACTLY, but that should be it) so that you can save games

Thnx.. sorted it out yesterday ..did a search on the forums .. tbh should be in the readme or a sticky..just shows how good this emu is ..some aspects you have to use it like you would a real machine

[scorpion25]

Man I came back after being down for a while to find this emu updated, And holy crap it runs most of my games I play on it at full speed I have no sound problems which is noted in this thread. I updated my orig nulldc folder with 1.6 and it worked great,

[oniberserker]

are there going to be any ogl plugins for nulldc?

[drkIIRaziel]

Not very likely, why ?
My plugin has an opengl backend .. but it is very slow/ugly compared to the d3d one .I run into too many problems with opengl so i just gave up at it :P

[PsyMan]

Guess I'll make ya compile it for BETA 2 when/if the release date ever comes. Just for the sake of it.

Maybe, if you'd release the plugin specs, some other coders could take the chance to write a pvr plugin, even an openGL one Not meant to rush you, but the chance to write a PVR plugin will probably call some people. Hell, don't take this as serious, but atleast, I'd probably give it a go :P
