Do you have dc_boot.bin, dc_flash.bin, dc_flash_wb.bin and dc_nvmem.bin?

 

[JaRocker]

Do you have dc_boot.bin, dc_flash.bin, dc_flash_wb.bin and dc_nvmem.bin?

thanks what I saw your post after I posted mine so I got it working now

How well does Sonic Adventure 2 run on this?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Is this a good emulator, or is it the only dreamcast emulator?

Do you have dc_boot.bin, dc_flash.bin, dc_flash_wb.bin and dc_nvmem.bin?

dc_boot and dc_flash are the only 2 that are needed. dc_flash_wb and dc_nvmem are generated by reicast. Edited to clarify which dc_flash is generated.

holy shit, i never had a dreamcast myself, but played it from a friend's house, and seeing now how jet grind radio runs perfectly fine (playing it rn) on hos blows my mind.. what an amazing job

You just said dc_flash is needed and dc_flash is generated... How if you need it in the first place? lol

dc_flash_wb is generated. Again, only the initial 2 are needed. You could've drawn that conclusion if you had put any thought into it. I listed them in the same order as you in my reply. Mindblowing. Moving on.

Any games tested already? I'd love to see both Sonic Adventure games, and especially Shenmue (Which is probably not happening yet since the game is usually hard to run for emulators)

Sonic Adventure 1 works, while SA2 seems to not work. I haven't seen anyone try Shenmue yet.

It will be a core for RetroArch?

Currently, this is standalone. Completely independent of RA.

If you read your last post, you said and I quote "dc_boot and dc_flash are the only 2 that are needed. dc_flash and dc_nvmem are generated by reicast."

I wish they ported Jet Set Radio Future to modern consoles... ;-;

Trying to run Sega Rally 2 but it stuck at the first screen, any thoughts?

Sega Rally 2 won't work as it was built with the WinCE libraries and hence requires the MMU. Reicast doesn't emulate the MMU so any games that use it won't work

Daytona should work.

i was expecting to play this game more than SA2

The speed is amazing however I have had several system crashes. Am I the only one?

Also happy to report this works with nro2nsp forwarders.

[EmulateLife]

That's true. People were asking about Shenmue it crashed my switch almost immediately.

Create a folder on the root of your SD and call it reicast. Place them there. Also make sure you create a data folder inside the reicast folder and put the bios in there. Once you launch the emulator, go to settings and set the path to reicast.

I put both cdi and gdi files in a folder called reicast on the root of the sd card and neither work.


EDIT: Ok I figured it out. You have to update the content folder in the options to recognize your rom files. Testing Sonic Adventure 1 and Shadowman.

Sonic Adventure 1 had some weird speedups and then slowdowns but it's definitely playable. The subtitles are bugged it seems. They appear to show the first subtitle file for each scene every time someone speaks.

Shadowman is likewise pretty playable in game but has some main menu text issues. The main menu is unreadable but the menus in game are rendered correctly, although "initial settings" is not accessible.

House of the Dead 2 is perfectly playable.

Crazy Taxi is perfectly playable except for some menu bugs with the widescreen option turned on.
