Thanx I 4 those links and that game, I never heard of score attack. Excuse me for being such an idiot but if that Nights score attack is a gba rom cant I use my GBA flashcart G6 which runs GBA games? Well found a place that has it but I got a .mp dont really know what an .mp is and I tried running it but no go:(
Thats not possible, Nights is complied to work on the saturns hardware ( 2 SH-2 processors etc), the DS is completely different hardware, which will not understand that code.Quote:

what you are saying is impossible.
also this is the DC section, not the DS section of the forum
Ya you guys are right. If definatly impossible to port any a game with no source code. And definatly impossible to emulate it on ds since my comp with 2.5 ghz has truble playing nights emulated,
It's not a big deal to "re-hex" a game. It takes time, but it isn't a rare, "OMG THIS IS A 1STS!!!!11" type thing. Someone did it with Zelda Ocarina of Time and it looked great. Just letting you know.Quote:

You can get it running on a flashcart on DS/GBA. It comes as a .mb(Multiboot File) warez removed To run it you must compile it into a .gba file using this wonderful program

Sorry I know this is wrong forum but I search extensivally to find this out and thought id share it.
Perhaps... if someone took an open-source Saturn emulator, retooled it exclusively to play NiGHTS into Dreams (and Christmas NiGHTS), and then ported it to the Dreamcast, then there might be a really slim chance.
Don't bump old topics (that have ironically been dead for exactly two years).
Unless you have the source it's impossible to port a game to any console. The only thing you're left with is simulation or emulation. Simulation is out of the picture, and Saturn emulation on the Dreamcast would absolutely never be fullspeed. Right now, I think YabauseDC runs the menu at 5 FPS.
Also, you might as well import the PS2 enhanced remake. It really does represent what a lot of people wanted, just on another console.
Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence in Yabause (its not called YabauseDC, the Dreamcast port is an official, first-class version of Yabause, after all).
In all seriousness though, the Dreamcast version of Yabause can't run NiGHTS at the moment, due to work needed on high-resolution mode of the VDP2 in the Dreamcast port. It is of little consequence anyway because of the speedup needed before anything will be playable anyway.
BlueCrab, I'm amazed you actually have Saturn running on Dreamcast in the first place, and if you can take it farther, then by all means do so. But I thought that even you yourself even said it would never be fullspeed and is more of a fancy tech demo.Quote:

The whole beginning part of that post was sarcasm (hence the "In all seriousness" starting the second part). ;) Also, I've never said it couldn't get to be full speed. I don't see it getting there any time soon, but that's not to say it can't get there.Quote:
