Xeon Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 actually, DATs can be considered drivers. its just specifically intended to support Nebula (NOT Kawaks). not being written in a source code fashion doesnt make it any less than intended.

Agozer Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 That's a pretty good definition. It is a driver when you think about it. Xeon = coolness_factor++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeon Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 yes thats true, but so is open-sourced drivers. it is very limited all right and not flexible but for a closed-source emulator (again, NOT Kawaks) trying to add flexibility, i must admit it is a very clever method. you dont compile DATs, and you dont see what specific codes the DATs correspond to, both true. but for the sole purpose of adding games support, it IS still a driver. the only real difference is flexibility.

James Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Ok you call it a driver I call it a dat. for the simple reason if nebula has no support ( code ) then the dat has no use.The dat only tells what roms to load and what size and xor The main driver would be needed if the rom set is a protected.The main way the dat would work for a unsupported rom set would be to load a fully decrypted rom set. or by chance the emu has some sort of code and the Fix key is known. By all means you call it a driver To me its only a dat. Anyway everyone will call it whatever they want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotaru Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 a dat by any other name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeon Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 i still call those as DAT myself, theyre easier to remember and which seems to be followed the most. i just consider them as drivers (as they are intended to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 now only if i knew where to dl it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hints , Do a search like google. If you know the rom name then thats what you use in the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
