Yabause-dc News

[DCEmu_Newsposter]

News from Bluecrab about his progress of his Saturn emulator for the Dreamcast.[br][br]I've finally gotten around to working on Yabause-dc again, and have some screenshots to share with everyone (taken from the 0.0.7 release codebase): That's it for now, a release may come either around Christmas, or sometime early in January, it all depends on when everything looks right (i.e. fixing the missing cubes in the bios menu).[br][br]Screenshots over at this DCEmulation Forum Topic

awwh the idea of playing Guardian heroes on the DC (4player) just makes me cream myself!

[BlueCrab]

Heh, one day we might be able to play games in yabause-dc, but not yet. One day the support will be there. One day.

[Mental2k]

nights on the DC is what gets me most.

ok I got a problem.... I got the new version of yabuse dc but I don't know how to make it into an image to burn to disc in order use it. anybody have any ideas/revelations on this. A Noobs nightmare.

[BlueCrab]

Okay, in order to burn an image of it you'll need to find the 1ST_READ.BIN file in the archive. Use whatever is your favorite selfboot program (such as this one: http://www.dcemulation.com/dl/dl.php...d/Selfboot.exe ) and follow the instructions in the program. You'll also need a saturn BIOS rom (which we can't help you find, because distrobution of it is illegal) in the root of the cd named "saturn.bin". Once again, follow the directions that come with the selfboot program you use, each is different.

That's the best advice I can give, other than following the directions on Marcus' site for making a selfboot disc under *nix: ( http://mc.pp.se/dc/cdr.html ) (This is how I make my own discs for my use.)

thanks for responding bluecrab. ok I understand about getting the bios rom. now regarding the 1st read bin. should I leave that where it is or do I have to move it? also the bios should be in the yabuse_dc folder(root) right? I know it sounds like you said this but I want to get this right. Also, thank you for coming out with this emu because I had hoped for so long after my saturn had gone on the fritz that something could be done for it. I know it's not completed but the sense that something wonderful has come from it makes me happy.

[BlueCrab]

The BIOS should be in the root directory, and regarding 1ST_READ.BIN, it should be in the same directory as the BIOS image.

I hope you enjoy yabause-dc, but keep in mind, it is nowhere near complete, and is quite slow at the moment.

[RockGod]

hi again. I got the bios and no I won't give it out where I got it out of respect (to those who ask, do what I did... look for it) anyway I'm having another problem. I need to create an Ip.bin and the second site you gave told me where to get an IP Creator but.... I don't know how to make it (the details on the site were vague). if you have used this method could you share on this wisdom? I'm sort of programming challenged. (for now at least) Appreciate any input on this and no problem about yabuse being slow as long as I can try it.
