nulldc 0001

Dreamcast NullDC emulator

This was sent to me by Drk||Raziel to try. He even added support for the Pandora game controls but most games (of the bunch I tried) want analog controls so the dpad didn't move me around at all. The CPU is clocked at 800MHz here and it still suffers from the weak FPU problem that hasn't been addressed with NEON yet. Also, so many texture/blending modes are not supported. I'm told that only two of the 150+ required ones are in here (so that's why that guy's head is missing!). :)

King of Fighters just really doesn't work well but I thought it was funny to show it because it looks like an Atari 2600!

I'm blown away by how beautiful it looks on the 4.3" screen being rendered at the native resolution. It's very much a work in progress still but what a nice point to show where it is at today and then compare it in a few months to where it will be.

It might be when it's optimized. Don't you see the potential when it's already running this good?

One of the fun things about Pandora arriving will be watching all the naysayers eat shit.

Yeah of course, but it's not pure wine. Just not to get people confused: you can run wine under qemu, but it's useless, you can't run it directly on arm architecture. Some WineLibs could be ported though.

(remove the spaces to get it to work)

"It is possible to run windows programs in Linux on ARM but it takes more than just wine. Way back, when the Sharp Zaurus was big news some people managed to combine wine and qemu. Qemu was providing the processer emulation while wine provided the windows libraries. If you search you may still be able to find a tutorial about how to make that work."

it may just be me, but i think that's saying "Yes, wine can work, if you have a program to help it."

@ChessPieceRook

Go on Google, type "pandora WINE FAQ" check first result and read it.

You haven't made your point at all.

[ChessPieceRook]

@FamilyGuy999 Are you really that goofy? are you a programmer? Wine, CAN run on the pandora. will it run at a usable speed? maybe not. but IT CAN RUN on the pandora, because the pandora uses linux. wine runs on linux. now, i think i've made my point. >.> sorry, i just like to ramble a bit...... anyways, have a nice day. :D

Of course it is slow, but it is not fake, it is slow, because it is only in he making, once it has been optimized it will probably run at full speed. And the fact, that it is hooked up to a computer does not mean, that it is fake, it is just collecting the data from the Pandora, so the emulator can be optimized and the bugs fixed. The actual processing is done on the console itself.

Can't will until emulators on the Pandora run fast enough to be playable. ...emulators that can't run on the gp2x for example. It's neat to see a working emulation of the dreamcast or amiga, but it seems like the only one that runs well (compared to the gp2x) is the SNES one.
