Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on June 15, 2004, 11:19:05 AM: :eek: seems dreamcast is now emulated. By a emulator called Chankast. Personally i just use my dreamcast but i tried it out with some of my games and it works quite well. Infact i\'m amazed how well it works. I didn\'t think dreamcast would be emulated so quickly.

Mods, emulatiors are legal. Roms and Isos aren\'t.
Just thought i\'d say that so this thread won\'t get closed.. Which it probably will.

BTW, I\'d never use emus or roms

Post by: THX on June 15, 2004, 01:52:35 PM: EMUs rock. I hate wiring up my old NES and putting wear & tear on it.

I heard through the grapevine Xbox 2 will be emulated soon :p Do you need a lot of horsepower to run Chankcast?

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on June 15, 2004, 03:51:48 PM: 2 gig cpu is recommended. Thats all the requirements are atm. Also depends on the game.

Soul Calibur running.

Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: FatalXception on June 15, 2004, 04:34:39 PM: Does it have an emulator that does the VMUs? Just wondering because of games like Skies of Arcadia...
Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on June 15, 2004, 04:39:01 PM: It does only what the Dreamcast Bios supports. Being Saves etc. As for VMU games. (if thats what your referring to) then no.
Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: Lord Nicon on June 15, 2004, 05:51:05 PM: Thats pretty impressive. Ill have to check it out. Dont really feel like busting out the DC from the box that my dad had stuffed it in. That ass. Anyway - They dont give any video requirements?
Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: FatalXception on June 15, 2004, 05:51:39 PM: Yeah got the VMU support from another proggy.

So far it didn\'t work with Jet Grind Radio or Sega Rally Championship. I\'ll have to go to my parents to pick up more games tomorow and see if it runs them. It would be sweet to pick up Skies of Arcadia again - but on my computer, so I don\'t have to connect up a DC to my tv.

It took a bit to find a bios (can I say that?). Impressive work tho with the demos people have made so far. Still looking for VMSbrowser though... it\'s hard to find, considering it\'s just a utility for keeping track of saves....

Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on June 15, 2004, 07:15:29 PM: and its not a rom.. its isos.

As for the dc emu. It won\'t run GDRoms aka originals ;)

atleast i don\'t think it does.

"gets a original to try"

nope don\'t work. but i guess it makes sense, the standard cdrom can\'t read GDs. :o
Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: FatalXception on June 15, 2004, 09:10:52 PM: Ya.. realized that a bit later... oh well. At least I can get images of the stuff I own legally.

Oh well.. it\'s basically alpha 2 still.. but this is certainly the most promising DC emulator I\'ve come across. I\'ll be keeping an eye on this one.

in the help file

"You\'ll need a CPU supporting the Intel SSE Instructions (P3, P4 or an AMD XP CPU) with at least 1.6 Ghz.
Memory wise, you should at least have 256 MB of RAM in your system.
As for the OS, you\'ll need Windows XP or 2003 (the emu will NOT work under Windows 9x or ME, 2000 may boot certain ISOs but we won\'t go into detail on this now!) together with DirectX 9.0b and a graphic card supporting it either from Nvidia or ATI together with their latest drivers. "

guess thats about it.

Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: Lord Nicon on June 17, 2004, 09:47:39 AM: Thanx to Emulators, I dont have to hook up every damn system all the damn time. I play old games everyday. You never can get rid of the classics. Ive beaten every Megaman game to ever come out on NES and thats w/o using the save feature to go back after F*ing up.

Oh, and 1 ?. Is this more like bleem or More like Gens etc where you DL the games?

And I ll use the logic you bring many times to prove people wrong about a game.How much did it sell on PC?Thought so.

PC > consoles...everytime
Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: Unicron! on June 19, 2004, 06:36:38 AM: If the port isnt done well its not done well.And you got my point with the "sales".
As far as PCs better than consoles that\'s just in ported games(in the case of FF7 it wasnt done well).
Title: Dreamcast Emulation.....
Post by: mm on June 19, 2004, 07:23:26 AM: sure it was, square did the port themselves

Post by: Avatarr on June 20, 2004, 06:43:08 AM: direct console ports with no thought on tailoring the title to the PC platform are crap. like MGS2 and EPHHPHPH SEBEN. I can\'t belive I almost bought it for $5, in almost as many years ago....

What\'s with the super widescreen for kof? Does it stay like that or can u switch it to fullscreen? Cool feature nonetheless to see the entire playing field.

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on June 21, 2004, 12:55:57 PM: Its a bug. Its not meant to draw the entire background like that. Its only meant to be focused on the players. Maybe the other games don\'t draw the entire background, just as you see it etc. This game does.
