DcGen works poorly...why?

Topic Boy · Post by **Topic Boy** » Mon Jan 07, 2002 9:23 pm

I've made a DCGen self booting cd with 500 roms using DC Factory. But the games don't work properly, even Sonic 1 is all messed up with no sound and chunky framerate. What can be the problem, did I burn it too fast (10x)? Help me out will ya? :|

I'm sorry, but that my friend, is DCGen.

It was still early in it's development, expecting it to be perfect after it's first release is unrealistic. Like most emu's, it would have improved over time, unfortunately that won't be happening with DCGen.

Although Lilmuckers claims to be improving it now

but he is splitting the time between that and his secret projoect, "Project GibbonJive"

I see, I got the impression from people that it worked fairly well. Guess they were wrong...

actually it does run relatively well... minus sound and in a window it runs just as fast (and in many cases faster) as some of the more well known emus (nesterdc, dreamsnes, etc) and it doesnt really suffer from any slowdown when put into fullscreen (although it does have that flickering bug), so id say its actually quite good, especially for a first release, but of course so many people have unrealistic expectations because they download pc emus that have been worked on continuously since 96 and expect that level of emulation from a year and a half old scene on a 200mHz sh4....

Hey, don't f*#@ with the godly sh-4.

DCGen is great for a first release. It runs close to full speed w/o sound (after hearing it why would you leave it on anyways?). Anyone remember the first release of DreamSNES.
