COMMERCIAL EMULATORS

Bleem!cast
This fantastic commercial PlayStation One emulator offers perfect high resolution PlayStation1 emulation with VMU and RumblePack support, still available at www.play-asia.com I hope. Otherwise I'd suggest ebay.
There were three releases: Tekken 3, Gran Turismo 2 & Metal Gear Solid

To be continued...

Note that only the *best* emulators are listed. Any additions to this list are welcome. I have not tried all emulators that are available so there's a good chance that I missed something.

[ron]

Christuserloeser, check this page at DCiberia. Cheers

http://www.rockandaluz.com/~dciberia/tiki-index.php?page=Lista+de+emuladores

[Christuserloeser]

Thanks. My idea was to list only the best emus that support full or near full speed emulation, good compatibility, etc. The list isn't completed yet, so I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Edit: Updated the list :)

[ron]

Very nice work, great for all

[obelisk]

For People who have probs with frodo (like me), or just wanna play atari 5200 games and atari xl / xe we have that one too, i can't remember the name of it.

[Kyraka]

wheres a nintendo 64 emu though? i would like that

[Christuserloeser]

Updated the list.

Kyraka: There's no good N64 emu for DC. Buy a N64 or wait for the Nintendo Revolution.

[Christuserloeser]

Updated the list with today's news!

Could somebody tell me how to burn GenesisPlusDC?

[Christuserloeser]

There are two ways of burning it. I will guide you through both.

Using SBInducer:

1. Download the SBI from here:
http://consolevision.com/members/sbiffy/browse/browse.cgi?browse&Emus - [The file is called 'Genplus3_bO.sbi']
Make sure your browser didn't rename the file to a '.zip'-file. If so just rename it back.

2. Get SBInducer v4 from
http://consolevision.com/members/sbiffy/files/ - [The file is called 'Sbindv4.exe']

3. Install SBInducer and put the 'Genplus3_bO.sbi' in your C:/SBInducr/SBI/ folder.

4. Start SBInducer. Select 'SBI2Boot' and click on 'Extract SBI'.

5. Switch back to Explorer and put your Genesis/MegaDrive games into a subdirectory in C:/SBInducer/Inducer/, e.g. C:/SBInducer/Inducer/Games/. The games could be zipped or unzipped.

6. In SBInducer, you click on the DiscJuggler or Nero icons to create the image. I personally prefer DiscJuggler.

7. Burn the DiscJuggler image with BootDreams' CDI-burner or Alcohol120% in TAO mode.
http://consolevision.com/members/fackue/?My_Projects:BootDreams
http://trial.alcohol-soft.com/en/download_120.php



Alternatively you could use BootDreams:

1. Download BootDreams from here:
http://consolevision.com/members/fackue/?My_Projects:BootDreams

and install it to e.g. C:/BootDreams/

2. Create a folder called C:/BootDreams/GenPlus/

3. Put the 'Genplus3_bO.sbi'-file into that folder, rename it to 'Genplus3_bO.zip' and extract it into that same folder.

4. Create a subdirectory called C:/BootDreams/GenPlus/Games/ and put your games into that folder. The games could either be zipped or unzipped.

5. Start BootDreams and point it to C:/BootDreams/GenPlus/. It will then guide you to the process. I recommend the 'CDRecord' method.

[LBI Surf]

thanks man

[Christuserloeser]

Finally fixed all links to http://dreamcast.dcemu.co.uk/ and added LTK's websites for MSXCast and CPCast:

http://ltk.dciberia.net/dreamcast/msxcast/msxcast.htm
http://ltk.dciberia.net/dreamcast/cpcast/cpcast.htm

[Christuserloeser]

Fixed the links to BootDreams.

[younggunn1999]

I'm waiting for my DreamCast to come in then I will check out the links.

[Mental2k]

Last time I was on (bloody hell, march according to my stats) quzar, i think, was workin on porting a saturn emu, any idea how thats going?

As a little aside are there any sat emu's for the xbox(man still as lazy as ever)

[Darksaviour69]

it was bluecrab that was porting a saturn emu,+ it will never be at a good playable speed

[Mental2k]

thwarted at every turn;)

[Christuserloeser]

Updated the list with MAME4All and the new version of GenesisPlusDC.

Bleemcast! a comercial emulator???

it was'nt even close to being finished when it was pulled it does'nt even have the ability to save games, I don't think anywhere sells it anymore anyhow (as I downloaded mine 3yrs ago)...


just don't ask me for playstation games as I don't know (or care for that matter) where they are!

[Darksaviour69]

thats not true the version your talking about is a early leaked beta, it thew final version was much better.

the leaked Bleemcast! ( blue version, some call it) is Warez.

Also the 3 released bleemcast disc have never been successfully ripped

The 3 versions you are on about are as follows:

Gran Turismo 2

Metal Gear Solid

Tekken3

you could buy all 3 at GAME for £4.99 each in the dreamcast's day, but they were'nt really that good thou...
...they eventually started giving them away for FREE after having them at 99p for a while and not selling, lmao

but both Gran Turismo 2 and Tekken 3 versions of bleem have been sucsesfully ripped thou, funny thing with these Bleempack thingys is that even when they're ripped they still need the original game to be played on them! lmao

[quzar]

um... they havn't been ripped. There have been people who ahve packaged the games with the leaked emulator though and claimed that it is a rip of the full thing.

[Darksaviour69]

the Gran Turismo 2, Metal Gear Solid are hard to get, i have 3 copies of the Tekken3 one ( got them cheap of lik sang, where they where clearing aload of dc stuff out)

Did you actually read any of the information in this link:
http://dcevolution.net/cgi-bin/dckbyabb/YaBB.pl?board=bleem

The link was in the paragraph you quoted in your first post, perhaps you should read before posting nonsense?.

[Shuin0]

I'd Love to pull the old Dreamcast out and start playing again anyone know a good site for ROMs So i don't need to surf google?

eBay, where you can get the games. Later, you can dump them to your computer. and it is an image, not rom.

[mcvader]

Damn, How i wish I could find a dreamcast, I even asked in two shops today and they hadn't seen one in years.

This forum: http://www.dcemulation.com/phpBB/index.php has quite a few people on it from adelaide, they might be able to point you in the direction of a place where you could find one (although from everything I've heard, it would be quite pricey anyways =\ ).
