Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

[DollyWhipDoll]

So you're that David who's YouTube video I saw!

At OP, specifically, do you think this will ever compare to the Reicast in Lakka which looks near perfect and uses GL?

i know it's too early for compatability info..but anyway maybe ill save some time for somebody who wants to play these games early.
- MvC2 runs fine but has texture issues (main chars are pixelated mess + some menu glitches)
- Crazy Taxi is very playable
- Sonic Adv. is very playable (with minor glitches)
- Jet Set Radio is perfect (as some stated above)m which is fantastic
- Spawn in Demons Hand is very playable (love this game so much lol)
- Shenmue 1 runs great with minor texture glitches, so it's playable (but i've only tested like couple of minutes tho..inside and outside the house in the beginning)

Ah ok. I thought it had been ported to work with Horizon OS.

Not too sure how this is on pc but I’m hoping maybe if possible to load games while their zipped. When these games are zipped they are under 1gb and that’s great for saving memory.

Remember you can dual boot and have both

Jojo didn’t work properly characters are broken while playing I did get one crash but the second time I didn’t I guess because I was using full ram.

Time to buy Sonic Adventure 2 on dreamcast. I guess it'll complete my Sonic Adventure 2 shrine to invoke Sonic Adventure 3.

I was hoping to be able to goof around with Toejam and Earl 3 on the switch, thanks.

We need CHD support

Wonderful news

We need CHD support

CHD works

Tried Dead or alive 2

Handheld = 56fps
Docked = 60fps

Is the switch CPU in stock clock?

 

[TotalJustice]

Ah ok. I thought it had been ported to work with Horizon OS.

you can also try the unreleased psp version of morrowind. Runs at fullspeed...though it's nothing like morrowind

 

[szczuru]

Anyone tested Sturmwind?

Trying to play pso, any way to get all the keyboard characters to display to enter the serial to play?

Wow some people clearly didn't sleep tonight
For the ones asking for github, changes are being upstreamed as we speak. Had to change some stuff in reicast to add proper support for switch. Switch is quite unique when it comes to the Operating System.
I still need to investigate how to proceed with the next steps. There might be some limitations and caveats to add full support (aka what CFW you using), I'm only targeting Atmosphere really. I'm amazed ppl in other CFW can use it
And yeah: texture invalidation is the next thing I want to add, shouldn't be too hard, that will allow you to read caps and probably any UI that's not properly rendered will show up

Thank you very much for this! You're the man!
+ 1 for rumble, is it supported?
Finally, have a chance to play and complete the best version of Resident Evil 2! Same goes for Skies of Arcadia!
And one more - what about importing game saves? How reicast handles vmu-files?

 

[davidgf]

I guess save games are compatible with the ones in PC version of reicast. It's just a flash dump of the VMU IIUC. Copy the files and let us know whether it worked.
I'd stick to VMU saves cause although reicast supports snapshots, I'm not sure how compatibility will look in the future. I'd like to fix all of that and ensure any snapshots people take today are compatible in the future, right now it's pretty much a memcpy of some internal reicast structures, which is freaking scary
