thank

BenoitAdam94 is me
Currently i'm the only dev on it (with claude AI)

Some people on discord (including original author) gives me some clues sometimes

Please test non-tested games before (in the compatibility wiki)

Broken games have probably the same source of problem for now : the non-implementation of AICA/ARM7. When Chuchu becomes runnable, it will be the signal to re-test broken games.

Dude, I'm super excited seeing the huge progress on Crazy Taxi. I feel like this is going to be something totally unexpected.

You should get in touch with the guys at KallistiOS; I've seen they're making significant progress too on Dreamcast-GameCube on Twitter.

I really hope this can happen with DeSmuME too.

Dude this is unbelievable

thanks dude

Yeah I feel like this finally shows the ability of the project. I haven't touch much the dynarec code for now.

The emulator will probably never be perfect like flycast/redream but if we can be able to launch Chuchu Rocket and some games, I'll be happy with that.

And if the flycast team want to port my code for a wii version I'm personnaly ok with that. But now is probably not the right time to do that. It needs better performance, less glitch and sound working (tldr = not to be in an alpha state anymore)


video of the actual release :





alpha0.14 is around the corner but it's mostly about cleaning code

Do 2D games work fine at this stage?

Try it out and tell us your results

yep exactly, please test further games and report compatibility...

... the more people report compatibility the more time I can work on improving the emulator...

TIP : 2D games should use LOW to avoid thin black line

and I4STUB and I8STUB if experiencing very low FPS (= about 1 FPS)

new version alpha 0.18

Really need test & report guys, even it's in dolphin

That's my dolphin emulator with all major version to test

So, I tried running Shadow Gangs on it but it won’t launch.

I put the necessary bios files in the data folder (see the photo below) and an unzipped game (Shadow Gangs) in the .bin .cue format in the discs folder.

But when I launch the game – it just starts the dreamcast menu and when I choose Play, it gives me this message with no visible text in it.

Tried Gunbird 2, the game won't work at all.

It starts in the small square on the left side of the screen and stays there and when it launches its just a still image, the character is moving when you press the d-pad buttons but everything else is not moving.

Completely unplayable.

ok but does other "Playable game" works ?

I think as shadow gang is an after market game it's using something not supported

Have you tried with I4_STUB and I8_STUB parameters ?

Don't know what you mean by "does other "Playable game" works ?"

As for I4_STUB and I8_STUB parameters, yes I tried everything, changed every available menu item - same result
