Hello!
I am trying to give a shot porting my game (rockbot.upperland.net) to Dreamcast. But the thing is: I do not own the console, so I have to test using an emulator.
So my question is: how can I test my .bin with an emulator, witch one is the best?
Also, my game have a data directory from where it reads game data, music and graphics. I imagine I do need to create a game image containing the .bin and those files. How do I do that?

If someone can please help or point me a guide (google did not found it for me), it will be most welcome :)

hi there, I am sure you can find some help here: http://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=29

As far as I know the best emulator is Demul but others also have used nullDC for testing in the past.


Btw, that project you're working on seems interesting! Have you thought about picking up a Dreamcast? They're super cheap on ebay & co.
