I dunno if anyone's said anything about it yet or not but from my experience with Sonic Adventure 2 just now, it seems as though the big graphical issue seems to stem from within parts of the character models.

I'm no programmer or someone that can navigate code and I'm not sure if this information is any help at all but I'm hoping it might help in some way.

I was able to play through Iron Gate and the Boss Battle against Hot Shot through a little patience and diligence. I got Eggman into the Chao Garden and the issues continued to stem from within the character model.

The Chao Lobby and City Escape are outright impossible to see though.

I did test Dry Lagoon to and though I could see it, the camera had to be at certain angles to not be anything like City Escape or the Chao Lobby.

Other areas like the Menus, Cutscenes and Obtained Emblem screen all seem to display fine though I forgot to see if Stage Select's screen displays well as well.

I've attached some screenshots that show various states of the distortions. Like an idiot I forgot to get a clearer image of Rouge in Dry Lagoon. As you can probably tell which images are which barring the last two, they are Dry Lagoon and City Escape respectively.

With that all said, I hope this helps.

Does anyone know if capcom vs snk 2 and marvel vs capcom 2 already work without graphics errors?

The version of marvel v Capcom 2 I tried was a character sprite mess but I’ve seen others say it’s fine so it might be down to the version

Shenmue does not work right on reicast(at least last I checked) but it would be great to see it fixed somehow on this version.

It's playable (at least I've played through the first day), but as other people have mentioned there's an issue with the textures. It starts off ok, there's just a slight issue with Ryo's eyes, but when you go out and see other people, they're wearing faces as clothes, or have clothes as their faces, or are wearing the wrong clothes or have the wrong face (not always facing in the right direction). If you wanted to play Shenmue meets Silent Hill, now's your chance.

Also, every time you enter a building it says you're entering the Hazuki Residence (but you do end up in the right building), and when you look at signs the wrong text comes up (which made it interesting trying to find the Yamamoto house as every house had one of two names).

OMG are u sure? MSR is one of the best DC games... Its the pre - Project Gotham racing from later Xbox, M$ Bill gates actual favourite game :).

Try Sega GT too, I love that game.

And when someone could make Test Drive Le mans 24 hours to run perfect visually and performance wise I think the emulator is fully done :) Its probably the most high visual quality impressive DC game, at least I loved it so much, never liked the more HD shinny PC version neither the PS2 version, but DC version I just went nuts with that game and I'm not even a fan of 24h Le mans and never played any other game of that kind more recent, but the one on DC was such a huge masterpiece.

Also liked a lot Virtua tennis, a friend of mine wasted so much money in that game insert coin lol... When I told him I actually had the game on a thing called Dreamcast lol he went nuts no need to insert coin :)
Bill Gates' favorite game was Fusion Frenzy.

List of games that I have tested on handheld only:


Rez - Playable but the framerate is not very consistent. Drops between low 20-30 FPS. (Original should be locked to 30FPS)

But I would also like to see multiplayer support too (locally)

At the moment, you can only play games with one controller hooked up. I tried using my brook converter plus a pair of joycons and the emulator would only detect one of them despite adding an additional Dreamcast controller on the emulator itself.

I hope that this was helpfull for you all


REZ: If you enter transitions within the stage you see „presented by Sega“ in semi translucent letters. it looks odd and I cant remember this from my original HW.

Multiplayer: you have my vote

Weird I've patched the game to run at 60 fps and it runs at around 50-60 fps on reicast switch, have you disabled dsp emulation? That speed the things a lot.

Also if someone wants I can post the hex code.

Are you sure to quote me? I havent recognized any speed issues, but the fps counter was off. my issue is different. I have a Sega logo on the screen during the gameplay... Maybe I will do a snapshot, if anybody is interested. It seems only visible on certain areas. but thats for me no big problem. Hey this is alpha, but feels more like an advanced beta. impressive!

Yeah, I noticed that too. I don't think that is supposed to happen lol. I can deal with that. But I really just want a more consistent framerate for Rez.

Local Multiplayer will come eventually. Since the emulator has options to add additional controllers already. It's just not configured to work with the amount of controllers that are connected to your switch atm.
