Dreamcast... To Emulate Or Not To Emulate... DC Controller Or Arcade CP

Haha. Gary Coleman. He should be at all major console launches.

I would imagine trying all DC emulators (Chankast, NullDC, DEmul, DreamEMU) on individual games, that you could find one to play any certain game that the others may not, right? You should at least a get a good percentage of games working, though not all in one emulator. That's just a theory.

DashRendar:
Testing out NullDC.  Not seeing any lag in the FPS, but there are sound glitches (echoes etc).

I guess this is a known issue with NullDC and Vista.  I'm testing different settings for the sound config- most people have been able to tweak it to resolve this issue by doing that.

shateredsoul:
Oh yeah.. I remember having that issue.  I think I went into one of the configuration files (.cfg or .ini ... not so sure) and doubled the buffer for the sound.. something like that.

Hurray Banana:
I would go with an actual DC, they are not that expensive to pick up and I've never had a problem with mine, my original Jap first batch release one is still going strong.

I've got a couple of DC's in my cab (one pal and my original Jap one). Just hooked up with hacked pads via a a couple of 25 way printer switch boxes (flicks between control inputs for PC, Saturn, DC and Playstation 2). My cab has a TV with RGB scart and SVHS.  I have an additional scart switch connected. One DC is connected with SVHS connection the other shares the RGB connections with the PC, Saturn, PS2 (and other consoles - SNES, Megadrive).

The switches are accessible inside the cab, I find I don't change them that often.

It's time consuming hacking the DC pads and games requiring analogue controls are a pig to play, but I have a great time with fighters, Virtua Tennis and light gun games. For the Light gun games just open my cab and plug in a DC light gun (do the same with the Saturn - still play Virtua Cop).

Can't say I've messed with DC emu's that much so really can't comment on them.
