Hello, I have been trying to get a dreamcast emulator running on my arcade with Mala as my frontend. I am currently trying to get NullDC up and running but so far it runs really slow for most of the games I have. Power Stone 1 runs OK but Zombie Revenge and MvC2 run so very slow. I heard that maybe if I use Chanka sound plugin it would run faster but I don't know what file is the Chanka sound plugin. I did take the vmsbrowser.exe from Chanka and put it in my NullDC folder but I don't know how to enable it or if I have to do anything. I am basically lost and confused and any help or suggestions as to how I can get a Dreamcast emulator to work, NullDC or any other would be GREATLY appreciated. My PC specs are: Intel pentium 4 CPU 3.0ghz 2GB ram 32 bit os ATI Radeon Xpress 200 series, chip0x2A61 DirectX 11 Windows 7 If my PC just can't handle it please let me know. Thank you in advance. |

When I started playing around with NullDC I had a hard time playing Powerstone and other games as well. I had a quad core setup with onboard video and 4gb ram, and Win7. I then put one of my nvidia 8800gt cards into the system and everything was just fine. No more stuttering or lag. I am not sure how your vid card stacks up against mine but that is what fixed it for me. I wouldn't be surprised if you wouldn't see an improvement from more memory as well. Now I am stuck on configuring the controllers to my control panel. I can config player 1 but 2,3,4 won't do anything within the settings. Also, once I close down nulldc, the settings are wiped out for player 1. It's frustrating and I will be making a thread on it for help here in the next week or two I believe. It's really one of the last things I need for my Hyperspin set up. Hope you figure it out and don't have to dump too much money into it. Peja |

Yea I hope it's just a plugin problem because in all honesty I won't spend anymore money on the PC if it's too weak to play Dreamcast games. I am not savvy enough to replace the vid card and I don't wanna spend anymore money on it. It already has Mame, FBA, NES, SNES, Genesis, PSX and Megaman vs Street Fighter. I am gonna hope that if I use an older version of NullDC, mainly v1.0 beta1.6 that it might work. What version do you have? |

I am not 100% sure but 1.6 sounds familiar to me. I will definitely be playing around with it here in the next week or two. I will know more then. Of all the emulators, NullDC and Daphne have given me the most trouble. Peja |

Struggling with NUllDC too. Recently replace graphics card to 1GB version - consistent framerate around 60 and gfx a lot better. But still the annoying crap with stuttering sound (not AS bad, but still enough to make it annoying). No matter how ahrd I trawl - can't seem to find the answer to this- whether it's hardware, plugins, ROMs or OS's Recently thought it was XP + DX cap on Ver 9, but another fella said he had it working fine on XP! Anywhoos, to contribute to taming this emulator, my system specs: Mainboard : ASRock 4Core1600-GLAN Chipset : Intel G31/G33/G35 Processor : Intel Pentium XE 935 @ 3200 MHz (2 Core) Memory : 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM ) Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Hard Disk : MAXTOR STM3320820A (320GB) Hard Disk : Western Digital WD2500KS-00MJB0 (250GB) CD-Rom Drive : DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device Monitor Type : BenQ BenQ 241W - 24 inches Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RTL8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Adapter OS : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3 (32-bit) DirectX : Version 9.0c (May 2010) Cheers |
