[wraggster]

Bobbi posted this news:

Since the NG emulation scene is a bit slow on news right now, I bugged drk||Razi to find out some new details on one of the hottest dreamcast emulator out there right now, nullDC. A new version with some nice changes is on it's way, so we'll take a quick preview on the things to come.

First off, let's take a quick look at some of the features and fixes included in this upcoming version:
Hz Selection Support for PAL Games Added. (nullPVR/Chanka PVR)
Mouse & Keyboard emulation added.
Image Reader can patch GD-Rom region at runtime, to allow .gdi images from all regions to boot.
Image Reader can swap CD/GD-ROMs.
nullDC can now set the DC's region (JAP/EUR/USA), broadcast type (NTSC/PAL/PAL_M/PAL_N) and cable type (VGA/TV(RGB)/TV(VBS)).
Speed optimizations.
New Maple (Input) plugin with Gamepad support.
Fixes for the following games: Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Dino Crisis, Timestalkers, Dead or Alive 2 (LE), Virtua Fighter 3, Fighting Vipers, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Shuffle and many others ...

Now the usual question is - when can you expect a new release? The good news is that, even though no date has been set yet, the release is pretty close (we're talking about weeks, not months any more) - we'll of course keep you updated here on NGEmu should there be any news on this!

nice to know, I just started to get curious about what DC emulators exist today. I'm not very uptodate about that question, atm. If the new nullDC is out, I'll give it a try!

dark has told me he wont. he's a hippie .

He's told me in months past that he had some work done on emulating the network and lan cards. That didnt make the list, so I guess he isnt comfortable with it just yet.
