Nice work Quzar ;)

[Cereal]

Why cant we just clam dcemulation as are own and take all the there users :D

[jinx]

Stop bashing dcemulation! both sites are good sites and partners. Hey quzar how is the speed on this emu? what is it based off.

[quzar]

Based on 'Hu-go!' Right now running somewhere around 20fps, although this may be vastly inaccurate as I dont have a method to measure it. That is with sound by the way =).

[law56ker]

cool, i never got to play the tg16 much but i know it's got some great games like castlevania, also i remember back in the day when my rich friend had one and the graphics where awesome compared to nes, i was so jealous.

[Eric]

Hey quzar that sounds wicked dude i will giver a test and this goes out to the people saying DCEMU is more polite they are both just about the same and most of the people there are here to and act the same

[Eric]

you double posted :P

[wraggster]

what a great year for the scene :)

[wraggster]

does this emulator support bigger sizes of roms than 200k?

[VampiricS]

does this emulator support bigger sizes of roms than 200k?

Well if the screenshots are taken from the emulator,and that Soldier Blade is running, that mean it can load roms bigger then 200k for sure, since that game is bigger then 200k.

[quzar]

does this emulator support bigger sizes of roms than 200k?


was that the biggest size that DreamEngine could do?! I can load 60+meg isos=P. I have yet to try a SuperCD3 game but I have tried SuperCD2.

[Cap'n 1time]

Cool quazar. wernt you working on another project too? I remember being excited about it whatever it was.

[obelisk]

Wraggster, you're correct, this has been a quite good year for the scene, it's a great day when your favorite system gets so many great emus. I don't know about the xbox, PS2, gp32, or GBA scenes,. Cause i don't have an xbox, ps2, gp32 or gba flashcard. I am learning about the DreamCast scene, and what i'm seeing is absolutely stunning. Quzar, It must have taken a long time for you to build this up, I want to say thank you 'cause it's been too long since ive enjoyed tg games on a TV. screen. BTW, the screenshots, don't worry about them so much, your camera is okay, and the screenshots don't mean hoot to people 'cept to show that it's running, and i think that's all we need to worry about for the time being. Also, I'd like to note, that the only big difference, that I can see, between dcemu and dcemulation is that a lot of posts that come up in "current forum posts", on the index page have to deal with XBox, PS2, phones, and GP32 and some commercials. It would be kinda neat to have a little sub zone maybe below, or to the side called "DC" and have a little bot grab post headers in DC forums? Is that a lame idea? If it is, i'll take back my words, 'cause i know that all scenes contribute to 1 another, and we should push for "gamer unity".

[Alexvrb]

DC Factory had something like that, only it was main page news, not forum posts. That just reminded me of it. Anyway, good work Quzar, although I'd like to point out (after reading obelisk's comments) that the Hugo author did most of the work. :P ;)

The hardest work for Quzar is yet to come. 60fps! Get crackin! ;D

[obelisk]

i'd like to take back that little bit up there about post seperation. I'm far too lazy.

[quzar]

Cool quazar. wernt you working on another project too? I remember being excited about it whatever it was.

Well, I was working on CPS1 emulation, but after gaining about 5 fps over the current sources, I relalized they had been underclocked (by half) the whole time. So Im going to wait a while and revisit it with new CPU cores at some point.

I had also been working on BholeDC, the DOS emulator, and that is on the verge of release. (remember it only plays a few games).

Then as for this, I started working on it tuesday morning, finished porting it tuesday evening and posted the screenshots late that night. That day i spent over 20 hours straight (i got up like... twice for bathroom/food) on it because i was so excited.

So this is still very much just a baby, and you all shouldnt expect any sort of release for another week or so.

[law56ker]

Thanks quzar for your hard work, we have yet to see a great tg16 on the dreamcast, it's cool to see something new and exciting.

[Cap'n 1time]

I think it was the CPS1 emulator!
I was wondering what exactly Bhole was based on.
I for some reason thought it was you that was working on a new neopop, that may have been the guys from imr tech... and that would suck because i dont think they would bother now.

[obelisk]

pls dont feel pushed by me... i don't want to be 1 of thos ppl who ask 4 a fast, sloppy releae. thank you fir what u done.

[quzar]

i was working on the new neopop, but since gpf got a port working i guess im out (although it has yet to work on a real DC =P).

[ron]

Quzar, execllent work. Congratulations. :D

[tinku]

Gouls n Ghosts full speed with sound will do nicely,

great work i must say, WELL DONE

tinku :)

[Christuserloeser]

:o Quzaaaaaaaar! ;D 8)



:-*

[VampiricS]

Gouls n Ghosts full speed with sound will do nicely,

great work i must say, WELL DONE

tinku :)


I'd be surprised if ghouls n ghost could be full speed right now, since it's a SGX cart,which is a little harder to emulate.

[milfzor]

ive got faith in quazar, me and him have been talking every now and again and he keeps updating me on the progress......i think he will get this thing running at or VERY near fullspeed sometime very soon........

[Eric]

Okay quzar send me some stuff over time for me to test

[quzar]

i havent sent anyone test things yet. right now its running at about 60-70% speed with sound.

[iq_132]

That's awesome! :o
I can't wait for a release :)

[obelisk]

far out. :) way2go quzar.

[Eric]

alright quzar you know the email so when its ready for testing i will giver a test

[scrabbus]

I could CRY, I really could, this will be the best early christmas present ever, I LOVE PCE

[wraggster]

hows the speed with out sound?

do smaller games run faster with sound than the bigger ones?

[quzar]

I never mentioned anything about no sound before pretty much because it makes no noticable difference in speed.

I have pretty much been testing with the same games so i dont really know about the speed differences between different sized games, but it shouldnt make a difference.

For the past few days a i've sort of taken a break from it but i think ill get back on it tomorrow =P.

[obelisk]

Happy Haloween!

[scrabbus]

its all GROOVY ALL ALL GROOVY

[scrabbus]

So is there a release date pencilled in for this??? I GOTTA HAVE IT, I JUST GOTTSTA, I am definately not the only person in here who craves this emu, full speed and sound, oh the possibilities, beats having to pay extortianate prices for the real console and games. £260 for a pce anyone????

[quzar]

Well i've been thinking something along the lines of thanksgiving (november 24th?) but at the rate in which i am increasing speed, that might not be a good idea. I want for the first release to have solid advantages over DreamEngine, and at the moment slow, choppy sound and SCD support dont cut it in my mind.

Also, the fact that Screamcast.net is still down doesnt help that situation, as I am going to release it on there.

[scrabbus]

thanks for the reply, maybe this would make a good birthday gift i'm 31 on the 15th of dec this year so, erm, you know, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, eh, eh...It all sounds great though mate keep up the good work, you know us old timers apreciate the hard work and effort, we, erm I do, hehehe

[dreamcastninja]

any new info on this? I am reaaaally looking forward to it

[LyonHrt]

I'm guessing he feels that its still to slow right now for release.

[gymguy24]

any new news on this guys anyways big props go out to quzar for all his hard work on many projects in the scene.

[scrabbus]

there must be some news..right? ???

[milfzor]

i know that quzar is somewhat of a perfectionist, he doesnt release stuff till it's good and ready, last i spoke to him, he was still poking around with it, so im sure he will release it once he's got it worked out

[Florre]

Quzar , we are lucky to have people like you in the DC scene! Thanks for all your work, we all really appreciate (sorry my bad english hehe) it!

[quzar]

well since this got bumped might as well update it. basically there has been no work on it since the last update i made. i may release it as-is as a pre-official version, but I intend to wait for the next version of the emulator to come out then i'll add a dreamcast part to the official sources.

[obelisk]

from zeograd? You're waiting for the next release from him?

[quzar]

yes, he recently said there would be a new release soon. in the mean time i have plenty of other projects which is why i feel it is ok to wait it out.

[scrabbus]

getting bored now

[quzar]

well why don't you go do something productive then?

[obelisk]

boy i got reallyy.... ruffled

[BaldMonk]

Take your time Quzar.... this is a favor to all of us, so don't feel pressured into releasing it before your ready :)

[quzar]

Take your time Quzar.... this is a favor to all of us, so don't feel pressured into releasing it before your ready :)

you're =P

thanks. when i saw that this thread was draged up the first thought that came to my head was "goddamn it i already said i wasnt releasing it anytime soon"

[obelisk]

yeah, then that ninny back at pg 3 or 4 started up that crud.. grrr. you're doing what you can, it's a work in progress, and we're all (not the antsy ppl) behind you and support your ideas, time, etc. thanks quzar.

[BaldMonk]

[sacrasm]Awww, but we want it NOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWAAA!!![/sarcasm] :D

Yeah, it's amazing the arrogance of some people acting like you owe them something. I mean, like everyone else, I can't bloody wait to have a go, but I'm not gonna whine until you give in... haha.

[obelisk]

it's like, people should just like back off, eh, so i say to my fellow or whatever forum (buddies?) not to post here no more, 'cause it bugs q. *
i mean no one owes no one crap. this is a contrubution, *in a world where people can't even trust their wives, best friends, etc, who owes anyone, no one, not a thing. *be happy what u got, and stuff... *it's like wishing for a kind of beer or a whatever, or a game, or whatever that's a flashback inducer from back "then", to be developed that's just pow, and hella reminds you of the old days... *i guess thats how i relate it. sorry if i offend. *im not trying to be a jerk, i just want to speak my mind and get it off my chest. *thanx. *let's let this be the last post, kay... *let's let the ship take sail, that is possibly hugo for dc, until then i recommend highly looking into translated versions and other versions of whatever for TG16 on other systems that are currently emulated on dc, if you need it so bad. *let us let it seek the harbor of 1 or 0, let go. *if it grows, we are happy, if not, we will try deal, or try different things, we're humans here. *move on, eh.

[quzar]

I'll release a preview version in the next few days. The true port will come later, but after trying Dreamengine I found that this already surpasses it even in the poor state that it is in =P.

[Eric]

Well i think this is a good release i know with Dreamengine i never thought about downloading it do to the no sound part and now i am glad i didnt do to the slow speeds its just great that somebody got it working on the Dreamcast congrats to quzar for updating the speeds and sound
