I've had problems with DC Hakker in the past, not wanting to load emulators one minute and then doing so the next, it's weird.

I have no clue personally, but kudos to you for actually using HuCast :D You might want to think about SFC. Speeds are comparable (if you don't care about sound, then v1 is even faster than v2 when sound is disabled) and I'm 99% sure it has zipped rom support. HuCast still needs some work but it's ...

I forgot to put the 'NO_ROMS.HERE' file in the root directory along with the TG16 ROMs, my bad. Do I only need to put that file in the root directory in the future or every single one? I've got an older compilation without ROMs in the root directory but some in other directories and it loads up fine...

I was looking over the Dreamcast's specs and noticed that it uses an ARM processor to handle the audio, the same kind as the GBA's, only faster. Would it be possible to make a GBA emulator for the Dreamcast and have code run natively off the thing? Something to think about?

I'll be making a new compilation disc using your suggestions so I can properly judge each aspect of the emulator and then make an appropriate .sbi file. Thanks for the help. O_o

More emulators need ZIP support, I could fit twice as many games on a CD.

HuCast is neat to mess around with but I'd stick with Magic Engine on the PC if I were you.

I'm putting together a page with the same goal in mind.

Maybe you guys are thinking of the original Xbox controller because the newer one is heaven.

Someone really needs to release an adapter that'll let me use an Xbox controller with my Dreamcast, the standard controllers are just cheap.

So is there a chance of running SNES games at a decent speed on my Dreamcast now? DreamSNES is a solid emulator, I just can't play most games with the slowdown.

You have to plug both controllers in before booting up your Dreamcast, I remember that vividly.

Did you rename any by accident or put them in the wrong directory? They should work fine if they're all 320x240 bitmaps, I never had any problems. O_o

Oh and I love your sig, NiGHTS is my favourite game.

The version I have runs smooth as butter, it just needs work in other areas.

I recently made a compilation with Selboot Inducer which had both DreamSNES and HuCast on it. When I launched DreamSNES I noticed a bunch of garbled and empty titles for the first page and a half's worth of ROMs, then my SNES ROM list which worked fine. I noticed that one of the garbled titles had '...

ROM loading bug? I'd love to know why a handful of games like Shantae run terribly slow while the grand majority are just fine. Maybe someone could update the thing like NesterDC, I'd love to see an option to frame the image so I could play the games at the correct ratio without all sorts of weird s...

I'd suggest picking up an Xbox at this point if you want an emulation machine, NES is silky smooth on Dreamcast however.

With so many emulators out there for the Dreamcast I've found it hard to find the best for any one system, so let's make a list shall we? I'll start off with my favourites and you guys add yours along with a small description, hopefully people new to the scene can avoid the duds. NesterDC (NES) Well...
