In the NesterDC thread somone posted a link to NesterDC 7.0. I remember this, but I totally forgot about it.

This is FCE Ultra port to Dreamcast. It's too primary stage, but the speed is equal or upper than NesterDC. (And it's code written by C. It's very handy). We'll feedback experience of FCE Ultra porting to NesterDC.

Original FCE Ultra APU engine is too heavy for Dreamcast, so we must develop APU engine for FCE Ultra. But I cannot touch this code now because I'm in release engineering for NesterDC-4release. Would you write code?

It's build process is same as NesterDC, and it has same develop environment.

I dunno what the use of it would be, but it's interesting nonetheless.

this is like... 3 years old... I really dont know what NesterDC version this would be compared to, but right now NesterDC SE is just about full speed with higher compatability than anything else we have...

Oh, I know. I thought it was interesting, and wondered how it ran

wow, ok this was by NesterDC v4. It running better than that would mean very little. Basically the current incarnations of Nester are far superior.

If compatibility was good, you could throw the (few) games at it that NesterDC SE can't run. If it runs any of them properly (which I doubt), it could still be useful to Scherzo.

Im pretty sure that the NNNesterJ sources that he is working with in order to fix compatability are more advanced than anything around 3 years ago.

That maybe true. But still interesting.

Maybe, but he needs to find more open source emus that can run games that NNNesterJ and NesterDC cannot. Because that's part of his current problem with fixing a few games, neither emulator he was working with could run them. Feel free to dig around and find an open emu that runs em.

Nestopia has really good compatibility, I hear. I remember scherzo mentioning something about it in a topic, anyone remember what he said?
