[PsyMan]

Make sure that you have all the required runtimes and files. Read the readme for more info.

i dont know what you mean about runtimes...lol....sorry....but i downloaded the nullDC_100b1_setup installer and i've got the bios and all(i dont have the syscalls.bin or the ip.bin but those arent necessary)...but when i try to run it it crashes....even just a bois boot with no disk in...and no the bios i have works fine i've been using it with chankast for the last year...i used to use this emu on XP to play Spawn in the demons hand(.nrg)....but its not working at all now....in the console the error i get is : Error in .\dc\mem\sh4_internal_reg.spp:writeMem_area7:732 -> Write to area7 not implemented , addr=1f940190,data=90 and the other one is : Error in .\dc\mem\sb.cpp:sb_writemem:422 -> Write to system Control Regs , not implemented , addr=5f68a4,data=0....i really liked how this emu worked....but its not working for me any more....any help would be much apriciated

First of all make sure that you have the latest DirectX 9c installed (June redistributable). Then make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video and sound card.

If the things mentioned above do not work then try changing PVR and AICA plugins.

i have the latest directX installed and the same with my sound drivers.....still nothing...its always the same prob...but chankast works....i also tryed changing the plugins from the default nullPVR to Chankast video and the same with the sound...but still nothing as, i said it was working on XP but now (for some unknown reason) its not.....any ideas?

[PsyMan]

Dunno... try uninstalling nullDC completely and then install it again.

Can you paste a full log ?

[B3tty_sa]

no....no intel, AMD 3700 +, 2 gig of DDR 400 mem, Radion X800 XT .....and sorry drkIIRaziel...but how would i go about pasting the full log?

[PsyMan]

Just rename nullDC_100b1.exe to nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace.exe and start it using savelog.bat instead of clicking on the emulator (just run it as usual until it crashes). This will create a file named nulldc_log.txt

Upload nulldc_log.txt (and nulldc.cfg if you want) here.

lol...theres alot there.....hopefully it helps

[PsyMan]

OK. First of all, don't use ZeZu's GDR plugin, it's unlikely that it will work on Vista. Use the Image Reader GDR plugin instead.

Secondly, I see that the paths on nulldc.cfg miss the directory separators. Try changing these lines:
AppPath=G:My GamesEmulatorDC EmuInstallsnullDC_100b1
PluginPath=G:My GamesEmulatorDC EmuInstallsnullDC_100b1plugins
DataPath=G:My GamesEmulatorDC EmuInstallsnullDC_100b1data

Into these:
AppPath=G:\My Games\Emulator\DC Emu\Installs\nullDC_100b1\
PluginPath=G:\My Games\Emulator\DC Emu\Installs\nullDC_100b1\plugins\
DataPath=G:\My Games\Emulator\DC Emu\Installs\nullDC_100b1\data\

thank you will deff give it a try....but will the Image Reader GDR plugin read an .nrg image?

edit: ok so i got it to boot into the bios....but i still have no idea how to boot Spawn in the demons hand.nrg.....

Thanks for the help so far

[PsyMan]

Not always. It's made with cdi files in mind so some mdf/mds pairs and some nrg files might not work.

You can convert the nrg to cdi in the worst case =)

[B3tty_sa]

how would i go about doing that and still keeping it bootable....i have isobuster and cdDvdgenerator....would those do the trick? or would i need summing else?

[neckilljo]

load the nrg imagefile with daemon tools and make nulldc point to the virtual drive letter using zNullGD plugin
