Agozer Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Use the nullDC installer package. For some reason, the regular archive (without Microsoft .NET Framework package) does not work for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT.... the graphics sucks.... whats wrong?? the letters arent clear.. please.. helpEither you have a very old graphics card or you have an integrated chip manufactured by Intel. (no support for hardware T&L). If the above is true you can forget about using any Dreamcast emulator until get a better video card. If I'm wrong, you need to update your video card drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agozer Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Well, now that you said that you have a laptop, it's fairly clear that you have an integrated graphics chip. Since laptops don't have enough room, they have to use integrated parts (read: permanently attached to the motherboard) so that everything will fit. This isn't a problem for desktop computers so they can use non-integrated solutions such as actual video cards. Because a full graphics hardware need to be fit in a tiny chip, integrated graphics chips are never as good as actual video cards. So they lack many of the features that video cards have. (in this case T&L) As for T&L, it's a graphics technique known as Transform & Lighting which is responsible for a number of special effects in games. Now, Dreamcast emulators need this very function from the graphics hardware in order to render Dreamcast graphics correctly. Since many integrated graphics chips (most notoriously Intel's chips) lack proper T&L support, you'll see messed up graphics. Like I said earlier, you can forget about trying to get the emulator to run properly on your laptop. Same goes for every other Dreamcast emulator. Get your self a decent desktop computer with a decent non-integrated graphics card. That's the only way you are going to get acceptable graphics from Dreamcast emulators. P.S. You can check what integrated chip you have by clicking Start --> Run, typing dxdiag and press Enter. The DirectX Diagnostics program should run. Then click on the Display tab and see what it says Under "Device:". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: and i cant play versus mode... why? im playing mvc2 by the way.. thank you Edited July 9, 2007 by chrmdfreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Well, if you're computer isn't very fast, you can expect slow gameplay and misc. slowdowns during gameplay. As for Versus Mode, either you haven't enabled Player 2's controller in nullDC's options, or then Versus Mode isn't properly emulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
