Dreamcast emulators??
« on: January 23, 2012, 12:54:38 am »
What are the current top emulators for dreamcast?
I've been testing chankast and nulldc but have not really tried to optimize either yet.
I've read that nulldc is the better emulator but chankast seems to run much better on my pc.
Using soul calibur as a test, chankast runs at nearly full speed yet null dc really chokes on it.
Perhaps I need to mess with some settings or something?
I've also read a bit about demul.
How is the performance with demul??

Thanks for any info or advice!

newest version of nulldc is pretty good. play all dc games full speed. then again I am on an AMD 6core. its not supposed to give me any problem with any emulation.

I second the notion for using the latest NullDC 1.0.4 build.  Runs full speed on my computer (i5-2500k).  For some reason Demul chokes a bit on my system, leading to stuttering.  Chankast I believe is fairly old by now, and not updated anymore, but may run on older computers.

Weird that Nulldc really chokes when I run it but chankast runs nearly at full speed.

Have you tried using a different graphics and/or sound plugin on NullDC? Also, you want to make sure you have the latest version.  I believe NullDC is up to 1.0.4r136.
