Jesus Christ, just be grateful we're getting anything to begin with!

I'm being a scumfuck, I know; I apologize, but any chance this may o n e day do what redream does? The 4K part.

I apologized in advance because I know it's not "to be expected", but I'm wondering "if ever"....I mean....is your Switch 4K yet?

Anything can happen. I wanted to know if devs even care to try.
I'm sure the mclassic will boost anything coming out for Switch/anything (there's another video I had in another thread, but I t h i n k I may not have put it in USN and finding that is only going to lead me down a three-hour info haul.)

I'd say to be patient and grateful for whatever comes out

It's cool, mang, but.....this is why I did what I did in post #14.

I somehow doubt its performance would be particularly graceful at higher resolutions

.....I can't--see above.

Reicast and Flycast has been doing it long before Redream even existed -

Okay, now, I can--had to find my beerstein.

It's either Crazy Taxi or Billy Kane I have in mind!

 

[DominoBright]

This has me interested, and I haven't even played on a DC or emu before!

Look like even without overclocking this build https://gbatemp.net/threads/reicast-dreamcast-emulator-for-switch-horizon-alpha.538394/ still faster than https://mobile.twitter.com/m4xwdev/status/1173724097412509697

 

[Nerdtendo]

I've gotta give credit to m4xw for his work. Him and I may have never seen eye to eye on a lot of things but he sure does pull his weight.

Where do Patrons get it?

EDIT - Got it, nevermind.

@m4xw
Flycast Note - Has a "Disk Control" Section, so it might be possible for Users to utilize Cheat System Images. So far, a +

NAOMI Results -
Either Cheats are not implemented yet, or I need to Search again for the Flycast equivalent of what I found in Reicast (NAOMI only it seems)
There is a Button Option for "Test" for getting to the Test Menu, but there is no "Service" Button, and not all Buttons "SHOT #" are available.
CAPvsSNK - Same result as the DC GDI/CHD/CDI(??). Ran the .zip File Version
CAPvsSNK2 - Causes a "The software was closed because an error occurred" to come up. Tried the .lst and .dat Files
MvsC2 - Same as above.
Metal Slug 6 - Same as above, but was a .bin File

DC Results - (all .gdi Images Converted to .chd)
Can run the jc-bootROM 1.032 (Black DC Swirl) Big time +
CAPvsSNK - Text/Graphic Issues in certain Menu areas. Sprite Issues
Crazy Taxi - Some Text Issues and some Graphic Issues, but seems Playable
Crazy Taxi 2 - Slowdowns In-Game
Daytona USA - Graphics Issues In-Menu and Slowdowns In-Game
Hydro Thunder - Some Graphic Issues at times In-Menu, but Playable
MK Gold - Gets slow during Videos, some you cant see, but can hear. Sprite and Graphical Issues.

Conclusion - So far so good. Might take a while, but will be a awesome addition

EDIT - NAOMI Cheat Addresses are different. Just tested CAPvsSNK on the PC Build. VERY different Address. LOL

Let's see what this looks like after it's got more development. That build had issues with every game and never got another update from davidgf, who tried getting a job for Google from what I last heard about what he's up to. This, on the other hand, is a core for RA done by a guy with Patreon supporters who's proven himself time and again, and is getting assistance from other RA contributors!

Let's see where the chips fall as they may!

Complaints about performance are bizarre, this is a very, very, very early build. Dynarec wasn’t even working yesterday.

 

[Smoker1]

This Core JUST came out. It wont be absolutely perfect out the gate. Of course there will be some Issues. That is why Users can Submit their Findings, so the Dev can see what can be done about them, if possible. So anyone expecting it to be perfect need to face facts.

As for my Post on what I observed, I am just reporting what I experienced on my end. Might not be the same for all, or it will. Hence why I tested as much as I could. Right now, I am getting back to making sure I can at least get Cheats for NAOMI again on the PC Build. Addresses are different, so I have to do all the ones I did again. Not all bad. Keeps the mind sharp.

Reicast and Flycast has been doing it long before Redream even existed - and you don't have to pay any ridiculous license fee just to get a basic feature.

It's perfectly playable with the free version.
