The release notes of the most recent version of NesterDC state that it runs NEAR full speed. If that's true it's only a percent or two off because I don't notice any difference from the real thing.

I'm not sure, but if it can be done that might be something I'd leave to programmer who already has knowledge of SNES sound processing.

I'm sure that it's already faster than Sintendo.

Oh don't worry. It is already fast enough to be considered playable. The exceptions are games that have special hardware that require extra emulation, like Mario Kart, or lots of mode7 and transparency effects. I have auto frameskip enabled and the emulation actually seems to be full speed, just cho...

How does one go about finding bugs in thousands of lines of assembler code when developing for a system like Dreamcast using just dc-load? I've been thinking about how I'll port the assembler source for snes9x's cpu core and thought to myself... I'm not perfect. I WILL make a mistake and how will I ...

Thanks BlackAura. I'll give that a try.

As for you, Arqueiro... no, I didn't mean on the Dreamcast, I meant on Nintendo Game&Watch Cement Factory.

Is there a way to find out how much memory is left for allocation?

scherzo? your nick isn't very promising (at least in italian). Is this true? [scherzo means JOKE in italian] Yes, I am aware that my nick means joke in Italian. That doesn't mean I'm joking abou this emu though. A scherzo is also a type of classical music piece and I just really like classical musi...

Curt: I haven't used WowPack or SMSPlus so I'm not exactly sure what they do. But if you mean a feature where you see a screenshot while browsing the ROMs, then I would be happy to put that in when the time comes. As a matter of fact, I'm going to make a wish list of features so that I don't overloo...

Nice splash for being done so quickly, Warmachine. When my previous project NesterGP was alive, I hosted a splash screen contest. Unfortunately, life overwhelmed me and I ended the project before I could release a new version that included the winner. You can see all the entries at: http://www.sch3r...

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I consider artwork help as well. Any self-respecting emu need at least a cool splash screen, right? I've already thought about making SFCast skinnable but that's a little down the line.

Hello, I'm the author of NesterGP (RIP), the port of NesterDC for the GP32. Dreamcast is not dead. Projects die and new ones arise. One project that seems to have died is DreamSNES. We've waited, with hardly a peep of news from the authors for over a year now. I feel that I should be proactive regar...

Thanks for the info. Now, I notice that each pvr vertex has a z coordinate. So, let's say that I'm drawing a textured quad or something... what happens if I give a different z coord for each of the 4 vertices? How will that render when other polygons are rendered as well? Will pvr clip the polygons ...

I can't seem to find the article where I read this... the PVR system is nothing more than a tile/poly accelerator and does not automatically do depth perspective like GL does. Is this true? If is it, I would be able to use it for 2D stuff very easily, right? Also, are there any good tutorials or sou...

Whoo hoo! DC Deving with Dev C++! I downloaded and installed everything and it all works like a charm. I have tried all the build scripts out there and they never seem to work for me. Yet this was painless. Comment out the dctool command in your dreamcast.mak file if you are not using a coders cable...

I waited and waited and waited. All I wanted was to be able to play SNES games at full speed on my TV without having to have real hardware and a thousand carts all over the place. I'm sorry to say that I have given up and gone the XBOX route. xSnes9x works flawlessly and I am happy now. I had faith ...

Since, from what I understand, the DreamSNES team has been optimizing bits and pieces of snes9x with sh4 assembler, then carrying over new features from the orignal is more difficult. I mean, what if the new feature exists in a part they have already converted to asm? I could be very time consuming....

I've been considering trying to port ZSNES to either Dreamcast or GP32 for a while now. First of all, ZSNES is written almost entirely in assembler for Intel syntax. More specifically, the code is for NASM. Now, as far as I know, there is no assembler that accepts Intel syntax and targets an ARM or ...

It's guessing that decoding and playing an high quality mp3 takes up more processing power than emulating snes sound. I agree it would be an nice option ina perfect world.
