NeoCD on Dreamcast

Alexvrb - Apr 8, 2004

		Several coders have been working on porting the SDL version of NeoCD to Dreamcast as of late. There's a thread about it in the DCEmu dev section here... and a larger thread about the 3rd release of it here....

		Wow, looks like there's a fourth release already. Sound still doesn't work, but CDDA does and it runs a decent amount of games. Soon we could say that we've got most of the KOF series on DC.

		You have to admit though it's in awesome shape considering it's only been in development for about 3 weeks now (ported from a PC version)

		I hope it will also accept ROMs

		racketboy	Apr 12, 2004

		What is the speed like on this emulator? Don't get me wrong, this is awesome stuff, I never expected the format to be emulated on the Dreamcast, I just generally like to wait until it's at a playable state.

		Depends on game, but if Metal Slug 2 runs at around 50% without sound, its already decently fast. Some games are full speed. But sound isn't working yet.

		It's definitely playable w/frameskip. Metal slug 1 is probably at about 75% or so with the latest version, I'd say. Viewpoint is like 150% speed.

		Alexvrb	Apr 15, 2004
		Yeah, they're gonna have to figure out a way to throttle speed properly with the faster games.

		it290	Apr 15, 2004
		From what I understand, once the auto frame skip is fully implemented, it will act as a frame limiter as well.

		Version 6 is out...

		Alexvrb	Apr 27, 2004
		Make that 6.5, deadeye! No seriously, they've been doing some amazing work on this thing. I mean look at the speed of their progress!

		Haha, yeah, this emulator is what inspired me to buy a Neo.
