The Emulator of the Year (Dreamcast)

[wraggster]

Whats the Emulator of the Year for you this year.

Ill close this on the 30th of December 2004

One vote Each please

Ill do a count up every few days if it gets long.

To start the bidding i would have to say UAE4ALL was the biggest surprise and the emulator with the wow factor when it was released.

My Vote goes to UAE4all

although if any new releases happen before Xmas this could change.

why not make this a poll? ... that's what they are for =P

[Eric]

Yeah thats a big wow but i look at Neo Geo just cause it had that impossible look and it was completed

[BlackAura]

Wraggster - Unless there are some major problems somewhere, I know of at least two emulators that should be released around Christmas...

[wraggster]

well i know of maybe 5 BIG emulators coming soon

wow its gonna rock the scene

[elefas]

Yeah, lets make a poll about the best emulator. In my opinion the best is Neogeo CD emulator. It showed the way that impossible things can be achieved by our beloved DC!

[Cap'n 1time]

agreed.

The NeoGeo CD emulator came out of no where and BOOM! It worked, and it didnt just work, it worked well!

What are the big upcoming emulators you are all talking about?!

Will GPF release a teaser of the GBA emulator or somthing?
quazar has done some amazing stuff, and I know that he has a few future projects (that excite me alot) in the works. quazar do you have plans for another emulator to come out before christmas?
Has DreamSNES secretly started work on an update? Am I creating rumors? DUN DUN DUN!

[Christuserloeser]

The most impressive one (until now): GenesisPlusDC PVR releases 8)
Hard to beat that IMO. I was really impressed and excited when I first saw this thing running in my DC.

Then...

Edited because of beeing completly undecided about all those other great emus out there, released in '04

Right now im working on a few things. As soon as Screamcast is back up (server problems =\) I'm releasing Bhole. Perhaps with a large base of testers, some more working games will be found.

By request of a fourm member, i took a look at oswan. With a bit of modification, I got it running fullspeed, and i think I could get saving working as well.

Right now I'm working with Hugo, and have promised to make a release on thanksgiving regardless of progress i have made with it. It already offers SCD and sound support which DreamEngine, and although people will be dissapointed with it, I'd rather people see what its running like

As soon as the newest version of NeoCD for the PS2 comes out i'm gonna try my hand at up-porting evilo's changes.

The last thing I have been toying with is n64 emulation. I didnt make it public because it is kind of meaningless, but I successfully ported a very early n64 emulator called blade64. I hand't made that news public because if you lookup blade64 you will see that it has no video or audio output ability. The only way you can tell its running is through debug output (such as coders cable) which returns values that reflect proper running.

My vote for 2004, Neo-Geo CD SDL Dreamcast.
