Title: NullDC setup tutorial/walkthrough?
Post by: cmoses on May 27, 2009, 04:05:59 pm

Is anyone aware of a good NullDC tutorial.  Setting it up, what all the options are, etc?

What are you having a problem with?  NullDC is pretty straight forward, except for how to get it to boot without the GUI for launching from a front end.

For that; see here (http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=145966&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1)

The other super useful tool is bin2boot.exe.  Some games are in bin/cue format and this util makes it directly bootable.

As Massive said, running it manually is pretty straightforward; I use NullDC_Naomi v103, and auNullDC frontend to launch games for testing. Make sure you have DirectX and Visual C++ runtimes installed, and remember to get Naomi_input_update if you want to change the P1 keys. Unfortunately NullDC doesn't support P2 yet.

For the MAME machine I got a thing called Naomi_Loader.exe which makes NullDC command line compatible. Then I make a batch file for each game as such:

Quote

naomi_loader.exe "D:\<path>\Capcom vs SNK 2 Millionaire Fighting 2001.bin.lst"

And have the frontend (MaLa) look for .bat files using SGT's handy-dandy "multiple emulators in the MAME list" method.

Hope this gets you moving in the right direction.
