Why not use your logo scherzo, and make the emu themeable so that anyone can replace it with theirs.

DCDAY- what you just quoted me for is definetly NOT wrong, and to this day, remains true. I was wondering why Rand didnt try to get rich off his copyright scheme, and there is nothing pseudo about it. As for ventures, dispite that the protection was only used on the bleem discs, SONY can not take an...

It cannot be used for both? I mean disc software and disc media.

Yet how much money is spent suing people like the RIAA and MPAA do, and how much more more could be gained by huge companies if even casual piracy was halted for awhile. I know that coorperations have spent tons of money in protecting multimedia, but they have done so unsuccessfully and in some case...

When the bleem discs were released, the console was far from dead. Again, im talking about the value of having this protection, not the value of cracking it.

id say an enhanced PS emu for dc with more features and improvements than the years old beta is one of the dc's most "major things". Im sure that even if this protection only lasted a few months before being cracked if used on mainstream media, that is still worth millions for those months...

This topic isnt about cracking bleemcast. The point is of how extremely valuable this protection is to media companie and stopping piracy.

Copy Protection

Rand Linden created a copy protection for the bleem discs that nobody has been able to crack thus far. Media today is under constant piracy that is costing companies billions. Wouldn't any company buy that copy protection knowledge that Rand only knows for several millions. If one were to argue that...

for that reason, the best bet would be to ditch the dsnes core all together and just optimize v2 like you did with v1 if you or anyone ever goes back to the source.

sorry for bringing back an old topic but i have always been wondering why Superfamicast V1 without the dsnes core seems to be as fast if not faster than V2 with the core. It is apparent that the team dont have the time to work on it and another release by the name of dreamsnes is unlikely. Why not l...

The sound is apparently the most difficult part of this emulator to optimize because of all of its different intricasies. In pvr3, the sound is almost synced but skips and loops every 3-5 secs. Another illegal emu based from this one had to do cpu underclocking to fix some of the looping but wasnt a...

Does the 3d box code for DC work in the way that is seen in lyris's mockup screens. Meaning, is it blended into a 2d menu as of yet. Also, how much of DcBasic Code is GenesisPlusDC utilizing. BTW... I really like the fact that youve spent so much time on this wonderful emu and thanks for almost alwa...

pvr3 does not, but does your current version have SRAM working, and the hero gfx bug layer fixed?

A new Z80 core has been in the works by FOX68K and more information on it has been released today. I wonder if that core will be a necessity for genesisplusdc or if CZ80 is fast enough.
