Homebrew Discussion Flycast Dreamcast Emulator Is Coming Soon

[EmulateLife]

Oh I see. Tested on PC desktop flycast seem to be fine with dat/bin/lst.

Will try mame rom later.

I'm talking about Switch. They work in Lakka too, but not on this one for some reason.

There's a first release out , check out m4xw's twitter

beta build 2.

All NG: DEV games run great with sound.

Which is the release in the tweet from a page or two ago, where performance is slightly better, but still not finalized as far as my understanding goes.

I take it that support for desktop memory card files will come in after all the performance kinks have been ironed out? Because I'm not exactly feeling like unlocking the rest of the locked characters in MVC2 on the DC version as I'd rather have the Vs. mode as opposed to the "winner keeps playing until loser manages to defeat winner's team that totally isn't using a God Tier team to just troll them!"

Holy shit. I still can't believe it. Tried out m4xw's flycast core that he posted on twitter (the latest tweet with the link) and Skies of Arcadia is running at 100%. No texture problems, no slowdown, no problems in sight. Perfect audio. Even rumble is working out of the box.
I seriously couldn't be more impressed. It looks so good I would believe it 100% if someone told me this was a Switch remaster.
Here are some pictures:

Good for you, but I want to be taken on a ride, for this core is true love we're makin'!

(or did you win a ticket for Iraq?)

Rumble should be enabled by default, but not all games support it.

Beta build 2: Atomiswave

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum crash before stage start.

The Rumble Fish nice graphics but only 40-43 FPS.

It's retroarch/cores/system/dc

Sword of the Berserk and Spawn both seem to run perfectly (if anyone is interested about them lol)... Garou Mark of the Wolves has serious texture issues and overall is unplayable. Also Rayman 2 runs fantastic. Its great to see a good working wip DC emulator on HOS. The majority of my DC library runs amazingly well... Waiting for MvC2 to run smooth tho.. (if that's gonna happen at all)

 

[DanyH]

It's retroarch/cores/system/dc

yea i've retroarch/cores/system/dc
.cdi folder it's inside ROMS but remain in black screen with all .cdi

If your using Flycast in retroarch with SX OS don't bother. You will get errors messages & DC games crash on startup. Recommended to use Atmosphere.

I've tested Confidential Mission & Zombie Revenge both work with little slowdown. MVC2 has massive slowdown like many have reported but the sprites are fixed so I expect this to be playable with further core updates. I've noticed if you put the resolution up the screen size shrinks. I witnessed this in handheld mode.

surely i'm using atmosphere.
i'm abled to run Crazy Taxi in slowdown only the first time i've started the emulator. Now i have black screen or atmosphere code error when i try loading .cdi ( error 2345-0008 (0x1159)

so I expect this to be playable with further core updates

Fix it then.

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum crash before stage start.

Try VGA video mode.

What I meant by this was that MVC2 will become more playable with further updates. I think my poor choice of words gave the wrong impression.

Hydro Thunder supports Rumble, but for some reason, no Game I run, even PSX Games, I dont get anything. @komabear , are you on 9.0?

Go into your switch's system settings and turn rumble off and on.
This must be done once per reboot. (same with n64)

Dont know why, but it is not working.
