From the creators of Gens and Neo4All comes... Gens4All!!

[chui]

Is it just me, or does the selfbooting link for Gens4All produce a download with an error? This is the error I get in WinRAR:

! E:\Games\Dreamcast\gens4all-preview-selfboot.rar: Unexpected end of archive

Dunno why.. any help appreciated, thanks.

Hmmm
a few questions
Does suport full sound?
Full compability?

[ripfire]

Gens4all Is Fack? Or Is Real ?
Where Is Chui? Gens4all Is The Chui Proyect?

Don´t expect too much because it´s an pre-alpha. The compatibility is good, games that doesn´t work in others free-gen-for-dc emus works here (like Mortal Kombat 3), but the controls doesn´t work right, it has a lot of debug features (if you press twice the right trigger the machine resets) and the menu isn´t complete. Also fox says that the sound is being rendered but there´s no output (in a few words: no, there´s NO sound).

It will be a great emu, but this is just a test release, just wait...

Chui do your best!!

??? - Gens4All was released by Fox68k, so it is not a "Fack" (fake).

It is Fox68k's project - as he is the author of FAME and FAZE SH4 cores. Stef D and Chui support him.

The attachment works for me:

Like Guaripolo wrote, this is an alpha / test / preview release. There is no sound output yet and it does not run full speed yet.

It is a port of original Gens (written in x86 assembler) to C. The goal is to rewrite Gens in SH4 assembler for best performance + high compatibility on Dreamcast. This will be a lot of work and will take time.

Chui, Stef and I have been working on this port about a year and a lot of assembly code had been translated into C. It is been a great effort but i really think it is worth it. At last, you can see all our finest in one shot.

The project is intented to bring high quality genesis emulation to the DC, not to mention game compatibility.

I think a good brief insight on Gens4all is in Need... so here it is...
--Gens4all runs damn-near full speed with sound disabled.
--Gens4all runs Very Slow with sound enabled in wich case you can't hear the sound anyways because the authors disabled the output... LoL

Yes that means GenesisPlusDC is still the undisputable king.... for now.

Now whatever happened to SuperFamicast and SNES4ALL If Bleemcast! can run PSX titles the Possibilities are endless with DC... keep them comin' !!!!!!!!!!!

What have we here ? Someone signing up under a second nick because he doesn't have the guts to post under his real nick ? Saweet.

- Please explain yourself.

No, it is not. Not from someone posting under a wrong nick.

--Gens4all runs damn-near full speed with sound disabled.

That's because FAME and FAZE are incredibly fast.

--Gens4all runs Very Slow with sound enabled in wich case you can't hear the sound anyways because the authors disabled the output... LoL

Because it doesn't work fast enough with the current software renderer yet ?

Yes that means GenesisPlusDC is still the undisputable king.... for now.

This is not about being "king" - This is about bringing Mega Drive / Genesis emulation to Dreamcast.

Read what fox68k wrote again:

The project is intented to bring high quality genesis emulation to the DC, not to mention game compatibility.

If you really want to compare GenesisPlusDC with this preview of Gens4All, you will have to choose FAME as CPU in GPDC and disable the HW renderer. In Gens4All you'll need to turn "Sonido On".

Now run them side by side.


Gens was written in x86 ASM. What we have here is a port of Gens to C! Porting it from C to SH4 will be hard work and will take time.

Now whatever happened to SuperFamicast and SNES4ALL

SNES4All is discontinued, since Chui and Fox68k are working on porting ZSNES to SH4:

If Bleemcast! can run PSX titles the Possibilities are endless with DC...

You do realize that Bleem!cast was a commercial project ? and that there probably were internal preview / test versions that not as fast as the final version ?

Working on something like this takes a lot of time and is really hard work. Posts like yours do not help at all and achieve nothing but pissing off people that dedicate their time to allow people like you to play free games.

If it's in C, that means Gens will be much more portable to other platforms as well, which is nice.

hi there! wow

Great news! always happy to see things like this!

It's like the Gen Plus... but for a alpha version is amazing!! it have more wings to move forward!
I hope you guys can easily correct it and make it really better than GENESISPLUS

BRAVO!!
