CD32 Emulation on Dreamcast?
Hi everyone.
I was just wondering why no-one has made a CD32 emulator for Dreamcast. I think it would be fast enough to do it. My DC is pretty much used only as an emulation machine for game consoles so I thought it would be nice. |

the DC wont be powerful enough I don't think!
I could be (and usually I am) wrong though |

Bippy is spot on, unfortunately it's not powerful enough to emulate it! The xbox is just good enough but the DC falls short! Shame

I'm surprised. I guess it's the custom chips that would cause the emulation slowdown. That is a crying shame though.
An XBox would be redundant. I already have an aging PC and a linux box. I also have a tandy T1000 so I even have a PC that uses a shared gfx/data bus. Ah well. Thanks for that. |

I have tried a uae version for my dreamcast some time ago. It was too slow and the sound was skipping ... too much frameskipping in not good either, I dont know the current status but its easy to check yourself @ http://www.dcemulation.com/ or other sites, burn some cds an test
please tell us all if you test it. |

I would have thought it might be possible, seeing that it can emulate PS1 games even better than ps1.
I think i'll start coding now :P |

There is an unofficial Bleemcast bootdisc from what I know, which plays quite a few games on the DC. See http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10860 for a small compatibility list.

yeah, the dedicated bleem! discs which you can buy (metal gear solid, gran turismo 2 and tekken 3) work perfect, I've got the bleem! beta also, some games work really well others not at all
with the beta you can also play, dare I say... backups of your ps1 games, but the dedicated ones only play original discs (both PAL and NTSC) |

So the PS1 emulator is good then? Are we talking bleemcast or PCSX?
I never saw a CD32 emulator on dcemulation. maybe it was removed? NesterDC has advanced since the last time I slapped it onto CD. Still has heaps of bugs but it can play most games now. I just wish I had a VMU. I like the DCs emulation ability. Because I've been stuck in a small house I havent the space to set up all my consoles and computers. |
