SuperAntFunk Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Well i was just wondering with the infinite wisdom that most possess here, is there a dreamcast emulator that works. and not only if it works, can i use actual dreamcast games.
Agozer Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I restrain myself now and will not use my copyright standard reply for these kinds of questions... In short: No.
SuperAntFunk Posted March 12, 2004 Author Posted March 12, 2004 I restrain myself now and will not use my copyright standard reply for these kinds of questions... In short: No.lol... my DC isn't what it use to be. but thanx regardless
Cominus Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Siba had a beta but it was only a beta so it wasnt the greatest emulator
BobRedthorp Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Turns out it wasnt the beta of Icarus, however Icarus has a new member to the development team, the guy who made the 3DO emulator 'FreeDO' so progress should be announced soon! hopefully, at least now we know its still being worked on!
Shibathedog Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 yep, and even if a DC emulator existed you wouldnt be able to use GDROMs unless you used a coders cable from your PC to DC (which would be WAY too slow) Regular drives cant read it and what do you mean your DC isnt what it used to be? Tell me whats going on and ill try to help you fix it
StriderSkorpion Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 Well, you could always buy a DC development system with a GD-R burner, or possibly use the BBA. I doubt you'd want to use the later as it be slower than a real DC and the former probably isn't feasible. Of course, you could use the BBA to backup your games first, but that's a whole other topic.
Lightsier Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 If an emulator is made it would most likely read images off your HDD like either over emulator based off a CD-ROM based system does. Would probably just read them as bins or the popular disc jugglar format, whatever is easier to read.
StriderSkorpion Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 It should also offer reading games from CD, though. After all, many games, like Skies of Arcadia, are about a gigabyte or so per disc. I wonder if it could read the CDs even if they weren't in a proper DC format. Anyways, that's just speculation and my personal opinion.
BobRedthorp Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) A normal PC-CDROM Drive can only read regular Discs, and a DVD-ROM drive also cant read a DC disc! Edited March 18, 2004 by BobRedthorp
