like the one guy said in that thread: "Id dread to see what the speed is like on the xbox". unless they can take full advantage of the xbox's hardware and not just rely on pure cpu power like most emu's seem to do, i dont think the xbox port will get very far. but thats just me.

huh?
Port?? Its the creator himself doing it!!! didnt you read the post?
which mean if he need to tweak somthing he can do it. its not like some one took the source and said "Well I'll port it, and see whats happens."
He alreadys stated that it was running full speed on a 700 mhz PC. And with the os running as well thats gotta be really cool knowing that xbox doesnt have anything running but the emu. I gess time will tell.

Personally, considering the cost of DCs, I don't really care about this at all. Ah well.

In europe DC are still pretty expensive around 60 to 80 USD sometimes theres are fools selling standart DC for 200USD. Anyway its cool now more people can play those gems that the DC has and see what they were missing.

That's good news I spose, but:

This can only lead to warez. Hell, the whole emu can only lead to warez!

It would be nice to use my xbox to play some great DC games again, but that requires ripping, then burning... all the other crap that goes with burning DC games.

What will happen if more people warez the DC? They might stop making the system?

Skynet · Post by **Skynet** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 3:47 am

I know, and that's a good point. I know nothing will happen, sega can't really lose any more money on the system they no longer make games for. But I guess it could just be a moral stance. Kinda like with older consoles. I dunno, whichever way you look at it is encouraging people to download DC games. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that a DC emulator came to PC, I'm just saying is all

There is no way it can properly emulate a Dreamcast on a 700mhz PC. The DC's SH-4 is rated at approximately the same MFLOPS as a 700mhz p3.

also, considering chankast uses directX i smell the use of the leaked xdk... meaning chankast will be even MORE warezy.

Ah well, I suppose they figure what the hell. If people need warezed games to play it, we might as well make the emu with a leaked xdk anyway. I'm sure no one is really gonna give a crap

it just makes the emulation ON the DC look worse, since emulation OF the DC is going to be so illegal.

Well maybe they end buying a DC too when they see how bad the emu runs

give me a break the dreamcast warez scene is huge and established and it will not change with another emulator, that is fact, the people that will buy dreamcasts and games will always buy them and those who warez will mostly always warez. this is my opinion.

You know, there can be a healthy medium... Some people burn copies until they can find a real version to buy, or to see if the game with the hefty price tage is actually worth getting. (Not that I'm promoting anything, but some games can be hard to get...)

Law: yeah yeah. I know your opinions. Hell I dont think we've ever agreed on anything

Just look at CE posts between me and you in religious debates

I wonder how a snes emulator would run that was built with Katana

Skynet · Post by **Skynet** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 3:57 am

I remember scherzo saying he wouldn't mind dabbling in katana to see what the outcome would be, correct me if I'm wrong. Iirc some other devvers said it might not help as much as you'd think.

megaman8x · Post by **megaman8x** » Tue Jan 04, 2005 10:27 pm

I ment from scratch, not a port

i think if it was coded from scratch it would work 100%
