I'm rather new at this. How does it work? Do I burn it in a cd, boot it on DC, and then put my saturn game? Plus I basicly wanted this for 2 games: Baku Baku Animal and Waku Waku 7, are they compatible?
Thanks in advance.
Don't expect playable speed, too slow.
That seems to be a problem... Well but how does it work? Do I burn the emulator on a cd first? Or do I burn a cd with the emulator and rom/iso? Well if it is an iso... I have to burn it on a single cd... I think I pretty much answered my on question :P
Yabause for the DC is meant to play the original discs. The DC port does not support running things from ISOs (due to the fact that I feel it is pointless on a system where there is no hard drive).
is there any way to play a saturn game from the hard drive?
I don't quite get it... So you say it's pointless to make a emulator that plays ISOs burned on a cd. But the DC plays ISOs of DC games, if you have a Boot Disk... Are you expecting people to buy Saturn games at this point in life? If I have to buy Saturn games might as well buy a Saturn, meaning, the whole Saturn emulator for Dreamcast is now useless...Quote:

I also stand by my principles that people should use emulation for legal purposes, so that means using their original discs. While I can not physically prevent people from using an ISO that they burnt to a cd to make it look just like a Saturn game (minus the copy protection ring, of course), I will not support it.Quote:

If you're too cheap to pay about two dollars for a Saturn game, then you're on your own with getting them to work on Yabause. I refuse to support piracy in my releases. That is exactly why the ISO support is gone, and why I won't support people who use "backups" of Saturn games.
Issues like this are why in general, I don't like to work on emulators. However, they are wonderful feats of programming, and very interesting to work on/study, and that's why I continue working on them.
Well, I do understand your point, but it's like... for my case, I only wanted 2 games, just checked Waku Waku 7 and it costs about 40 bucks, plus the whole trip to come here to Portugal... I don't think so. I can't even find Baku Baku Animal. So... before you call people cheap... please research the avaiability of Saturn games first :\
Besides that, I really understand your point. I normally like to try games before I buy them. But for old games... I don't do that much...
I'm not saying that you're cheap, but I'm saying that I don't support doing anything illegal with my programs.Quote:
