What's the status of Icarus?

[someboddy]

I haven't been here for a while, so I haven't followed the news about it.

Can it emulate real games?

What hardware do I need to run it?

Where can I download that games?

Icarus? The dreamcast emulator? It hasn't been released, when/if it is released it should run on decent machine (they'll release required system specs when the dynarec is finished) You can download games for it on direct connect.

i got a rare leaked copy, its probably a really old beta

 

it pretty much runs whatever you throw at it, all the performance is entirely based on your machine specs

 

crappy computer-crappy emulation

 

nice computer-somewhat good emulation in certain games

Its still being developed, the author of ChooDo, as well as the 3DO emulator FreeDO has joined the Icarus development team and will be helping them out with Dynamic Recompilation among other things.

ok well sorry for the mistake, this just shows you how long its been since i used it

 

 

I got it off my other PC and opened it, and it was like, ok this is cool this must be it, and when i went to check the version because i wanted to know if it was a beta or something, and it turned out to be a poorly hacked version of DreamEmu meant to perform slightly better, and pass off as Icarus

[BobRedthorp]

No mate, its cool,

 

I wasnt saying you where wrong, I was only saying Icarus is still being worked on, a lot of people think its been discontinued,

 

I'm looking forward to future information on its development, I'll post as I hear

i feel stupid for falling for it too
