nullDC BETA 1.5 Codename "Get The F**k Out" Released - Dreamcast Emulator for Windows

[wraggster]

Psyman let me know this news on IRC

drkIIRaziel "saw the light" and decided that if we don't make a release now we may never do, so here it is:

Be aware that this is more like an ALPHA than a BETA (thus the version number) so some things might be broken.

Read the included documentation and follow the instructions there if you encounter any problems.

Have fun

Heres the readme

The nullDC "Team" saw the light and brings you BETA 1.5 NOW.


Changes Since BETA 1:

Too many to list. Try it and find out.

Notes:
- ITS CRASHY BUGGY $#@!TY. If you have problems its your fault for using it.

- You'll need the latest directX redistributable to run nullDC as well as the latest VisualC++ runtimes.

You can find DirectX here (Web Installer):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
or here (Offline Installer):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

and the VisualC++ runtimes here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

and winpcap here :

http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm

- Before running the emulator make sure that you have the necessary Dreamcast BIOS and Flash files dumped from your
Dreamcast.
The BIOS must be named "dc_boot.bin" and the Flash must be named "dc_flash.bin". Both files must be placed in the "Data"
directory which is in the location where you installed the emulator.

- Sound Is Broken

- We don't know if something else apart from sound is broken in this version.

- Gamepads are (supposedly) supported. Note: Only tested on XBOX/XBOX360 controllers and the
Dreamcast<->PC adapter that lev| donated ( http://www.ztnetstore.com/index.php?ref=51 if you
want to get one ).

- Joystick/n works ONLY with joysticks, use old [winhook] for keyboard

- null

- also look ReadMe_old.txt

- the _mmu version has mmu emulation when used in intepreter mode

Nice to see a new release. Seems a lot more buggy than the previous public release though.

WTF, u can't even change the resolution at all now. Seems like i can't even change the PVR graphics plugin. It's just set on Chanka's plugin. I would like to change to the nullpvr plugin. The picture looks like $#@!. Yes, the controller addition is quite nice. But doesn't justify the $#@!ty resolution. I'm quite pissed at this release.

does anybody know how to get past the time confirmation using the keyboard?

Buggy as hell.

Cool! Only problems I found is the sound, and it still does not support my gamepad. But I still love it. ^^

yeah the readme says the sound is broken

Works with compatibility set to XP

To fix the sound, open nulldc.cfg and change the buffer from 1024 to 2048. Solved

Not crashed after 2 hourson Vista ultimate x64. Not seen ANY issues with SA2 now, no invisible walls and shadows are now perfectly visable. Amazing work.

Although joypads dont really work very well..

Anyone tried Ecco on this? And does Shenmue have sound fixed and synced?
