CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
I'm sure you've seen by now the excellent progress made on the Wii U emulator, CEMU
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comme ... _progress/
And I see another great opportunity to boost the emulation scene on Dreamcast.
So I just want to quickly clarify who is working on this project, and whether you think fullspeed will be closer to Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Thanks.

Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
As long as you set Cemu to render the internal resolution at 640x480 it should run great. Also the DC gamepad is perfectly suited to emulate a Wii U gamepad due to its VMU functionality. There wouldn't be touchscreen on the VMU but that could be remedied by using the top secret C and Z buttons.

Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
Progress update please. It's been 4 years. Who has been working on it?
Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
I'll get to it after porting Freecraft/Stratagus to the Dreamcast. Been working on it off and off for 18 years though so it might be awhile before there's a beta version to test for CEMU.

Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
I am working on it. I expect to release a public alpha sometime around Thanksgiving, assuming I can get the rewrite of the Espresso (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso_(microprocessor)) emulator in assembly finished, or at least somewhat stable. Right now pre-alpha builds are available on my Patreon. Compatibility and performance are still low at this point but sound is working as of build 0.0.745-pre-08052021 with very high accuracy.
This is being developed with the help of an official dev kit using libraries and toolchains that are property of Sega and even though it's 20+ years old at this point I do not believe I'll be able to share it here.
(the extra 0 at the front of the build number is a bug)

Hi will your emulator be Thanksgiving themed?Xylene wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 5:52 pm I am working on it.

I believe holiday themes add great value to emulators.
It's thinking...

Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
Is this out yet? I can post it on the new section of my Doom DC Mod Reviews site to get the word out.

Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
It will probably come out around the same time that the Segagaga english translation is released.Specially Cork wrote: ↑Sat Nov 06, 2021 8:56 pm Is this out yet? I can post it on the new section of my Doom DC Mod Reviews site to get the word out.

Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
Great to finally have an update on this. Bit sad to see you announce that it's never coming out, but then I remembered you're a big Justin Bieber fan.
So with that in mind, I have to say that was a pretty good prank, but you have to get up pretty early to fool me.
So, have you nailed down a date yet? It's been almost six years and to be honest this is taking too fucking long.

Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
Thanks for the youtube embed, I realized that the board was still using an old-style flash-based embed, but with flash being deprecated now, it didn't work. so I fixed it to use a new style html based embed.
It's thinking...
Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
It's never coming out. I deleted the source code and the only remaining copy is in an encrypted back up that can only be unlocked with an AES-256 key that is stored on a USB flash drive that I put under everything in a closet and it's way too much work to take everything out of the closet. I didn't feel the need to release the source code before deleting it, what's the point?Specially Cork wrote: ↑Sat Jul 16, 2022 3:13 pm Great to finally have an update on this.

Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
While part of me wants you to get it out of the closet, I have to admit that I've spent the last two decades refusing to come out of the closet myself and I don't want to be a hypocrite.
I guess I will give up on this and wait for a port of the PS3 emulator RPCS3 instead.

Re: CEMU Wii U Emulator for Dreamcast Port
I was considering it but the Dreamcast is simply too under powered to emulate PS3 but... the PS2 isn't. FUCK YOU SONY WE FIGURED YOU OUT AND YOU KILLED THE DREAMCAST AND KICKED RAND LINDEN'S CAT!! I've made significant progress on my port of RPCS3 to PS2 however it only works on SCPH-7700x units thanks to an undocumented feature in the EE+GS. I expect a public beta to launch in Q3 2027. Current experimental builds are available to anyone who makes a donation to Pro Life Legal Defense Fund.Specially Cork wrote: ↑Sat Jul 23, 2022 5:24 pm While part of me wants you to get it out of the closet, I have to admit that I've spent the last two decades refusing to come out of the closet myself and I don't want to be a hypocrite.
