GBA Emu for DC Update

[wraggster]

Thanks for the gba emu news

as for controllers i prefer the xbox/dreamcast controllers over any others

the DC controller is great for driving games, but I wasn't as impressed with other genre's. As for the analogue dual shock, I don't like the analogue buttons on v2 either, but then not all games use them like that. I use a dualshock on my PC via an adapter, and it's great for third person games, especially using two stick to run around in GTA3/VC. I was gutted when I got a PS2 and found I couldn't use the right stick to look around/change direction..

as for the GBA emulator layout, I think the point about the A+B buttons, DPAD and triggers is right, with A+B flipped to match the GBA. I actually find it a lot more difficult to hit two buttons on the verticle at the same time than on horizontal, so I'd hate that, but then again, if it's possible, the option to define your own controls would be a definite plus.

Damn - I wish we had a split mod, so that we could split this topic. A discussion about favorite controllers is somewhat interesting, but really doesn't belong here.

Anyway - I think I will start a topic somewhere else so that we can talk about favorite controllers. I will post my comments there.

@GPF - The Nester/Gnuboy controls can be found at the Dreamcast Emulation Knowledge Base

Here is a direct link to a description about the Nester controls:

The only change I would really suggest, if possible, would be for you to allow us to choose whether to use the d-pad or the analog stick (similar to the way Super Famicast does).

I have the Same Problem or i try to help out with the video render . Not got to in to the PVR or 3d parts of the dreamcast.

I mostly use frame buffer which is to slow for most emulaton on dreamcast.

any updates this sounds like it will be awesome and am just getting into GBA homebrew and would be GREAT to be able to play on dreamcast (saves fighting over puter use*L*

[kingdagimus]

is this thing still goin on not trying to rush just curious no word in a while :-[

i know what you mean man the anticipation is killing me.
this way I don't have to fork out the 50 - 80 bucks for the tv adapter.
but it's only been a few days so give them some more time and don't forget that in the world of emulation a year aint nothing to wait for any kick ass emu. and coders usually get a little miffed when you start trying to put them on a time table.
just praise them for the gods they are and make sure to send them a post card.
