Title: Null DC (Dreamcast Emulator) issues...need advice
Post by: frontiers1983 on December 20, 2010, 02:01:40 am

So I'm wondering why the Dreamcast logo is cut off in the corners when I load my games? Not a big deal, but it's bugging me. Also, how do I get rid of the numbers as well? (see attached pic)
Anybody know?

Thanks a lot!

Looks like the grafix settings isnt setup properly. Mine did that until i sorted the grafix option.

What version are you using?
It is probably just some settings under the  Options/PowerVR menu.
Post the contents of your nullDC.cfg file.

If I remember correctly, those issues are specific to the graphics plugin you're using and not configurable. You could try a different plugin that will fix those but it might not he as compatible with your hardware. Nulldc is lots of trial and error everytime I install it on a new PC.

I think this info below is my config...I just want to get rid of the Dreamcast logo having it's corners cut off and also the green numbers as seen in my previous post. Another weird issue is when I try to play Virtua Tennis. When given the option to play "Arcade" etc. it scrolls by itself and you have to be lightning fast to choose what you want. This didn't happen when I tried version 1.0.3 of Null DC.

Okay,

I only recently got into Dreamcast emulation and I found this site to be the best:

I use the "nullDC optimized SVN r120" version with the NTSC-U Bios

Try a different nulldc version or point me to where I can download the exact version your are trying.
