==================================================

It has been decided by a majority of the staff that posting images of commercial games running on nullDC is acceptable due to the fact that nullDC can play legal dumps (whereas chankast could not).

NOTE: ANY DISCUSSION OF ILLEGAL BACKUPS OR RELEASES BY WAREZ GROUPS WILL RESULT IN A LARGE INFRACTION.

Please try to use this format when posting:

Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Very Playable
There are some graphical glitches in the game that also appeared in chankast. The characters tiles? seem to be spread out more than they should be. The 3D Backgrounds look amazing and the sound is very good.

Phantasy Star Online Episode 1
Very Playable
This game seems to run at a max of 30FPS. Though you can select a different TV mode on my rip, which might change things. The game looks very good and runs very fast. On a side note I see a section in the plugins for a modem/bba. If that ever is implemented It would be great to run this game at the much faster rate.

There are a few glitches in the textures, but this game almost looks like nullDC was designed for it.

Sonic Adventure 2
Crashes In Game
I only have one Screen shot to offer. I used to be able to get in game for a little bit, but now the game seems to crash when I try to load a save.

has anyone got past the first level in sonic 2? it freezes for me :(

Exellent emu tho :)

once the joypad plugin is in, and some minor gfx fixes corrected, this will be the nearest thing to playing a dreamcast (bar owning one :p) you can get :D

Someone over at ngEmu posted a work around:

Change the first instance of the finding to:
20 90 09 00 09 00 01 7E
as you see, only 2 bytes are changed.. but those 2 bytes make the ISO compatible (seems like nearly 100%) - there will be errors in the console but ignore them, it will work!
note: this edit was done on the MDF file.. if you have CDI version I am not sure whether this works but I guess so!
note 2: this edit makes the rom incompatible to Chankast (will show an error and abort) - demul will run it but still won't reach the menu

A bug exists in Resident Evil Code: Veronica in the game with Chris Redfield in the statue of the tiger, in the which we can catch limitless red and blue jewels, and the normal is to just catch a jewel of each to show two hidden items behind the statue. With that bug, there is not as arriving at the end of the game. Forgive me for my terrible English, because I live in Brazil.

Status: Playable

It slow down in city escape level (28%). The game run at full speed in almost all levels. Some areas may slow down, about 73%. There are black poligons all over the screen. That's why it's not very playable. Well... you can still play this game if you memories every part :( (I am 99.9% sure it's my graphic card, so it may work in your computer. I hope a new version of nulldc fix this issue).

It's almost perfect, the only issue I have seen is the health bar (sometimes it may become green or red, so you won't know how much health you have). Again, it could be a problem with my graphic card.

I am lv 7 in phantasy star now and in cave 3(1:30 hours playing). The game is great when it's portable. I highly recommend it if you have a notebook

There's also available a PC version. Did you try it? You can play online ;)

The pc version is PSOBB (Blue Burst). The problem is that this game is only online, so you can't play this game portable (unless you have wifi :().

The other pc version is the same as the DC one, but it was only released in asia and it doesn't support joysticks (no sixaxis :(). Sega killed the servers, so no online. The only way is to join a private one... but schthack have to send you the serial ID for this game, it may take weeks.

Maybe nulldc may get the Modem/BBA plugin to work (or I get it to work..?), so I can join the private server.
