Couldn't think of where to post this - wonder if a topic of "Emulator Discussions" may be beneficial? So - trying to decide between NullDC, Demul and MakaronEX... Took some screenies on each - at settings that my test machine could handle for all 3 (i.e. equal load on PC resources for all 3 Emus). Below are the results.. I know this is a very rough rule of thumb, but I was surprised to find MakaronEX giving the nicest visuals (despite it no longer being developed and based on the old Makaron?). Looks like there's no other video plugins for these emus. Anyone got any advice for best graphics performance? GPU settings for each below screens. Demul (0582): Res - 1280x800 Int res: 2x Max Layers: 32 Shaders: 1-pass FXAA NullDC (1.04, r150) Res - 1280x800 AR - Stretch Palleted Textures - Dynamic, Full Sort: Per Triangle Mod Voules: Normal and Clip Z-Buffer: D24FS8 Texture cache: Delete old MakaronEx (v4.1 New Gen) Res - 1280x800 Render: High Resolution (Stretch) Advanced: Tri_linear selected Anisotrophy @ 16 Shaders: Bloom+FXAA

Hi all!!! I'm having problems with Sega Dreamcast emulator. When launch a game, nulldc opens but not load the game Attached my config if can help. Thanks in advance. GameEx.ini log.txt

Unbelievable!!! I was using a third party cmd line app called PowerCmd for testing... I tried windows stock and it worked first time!! Lesson learned - if hit a brick wall, 1st test = using Windows Cmd. Correct cmd: demul.exe -run=dc -image="I:\EmuTests\roms\Dreamcast\Quicklaunch\Soul Calibur v1 001 1999 Namco PAL M4 zip\Soul Calibur v1.001 (1999)(Namco)(PAL)(M4)[!].gdi" There's 10 hours of my life I'll never get back... -------------- Original Post ----------------------------------------- So, this post here made it look easy! http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/12094-resolved-demul-and-dreamcast/ But can I find a way to do this? (rhetorical 'no') tried: demul.exe -run=dc -image="I:\EmuTests\roms\Dreamcast\Quicklaunch\Soul Calibur v1 001 1999 Namco PAL M4 zip\Soul Calibur v1.001 (1999)(Namco)(PAL)(M4)[!].gdi" and demul -run=dc -rom="I:\EmuTests\roms\Dreamcast\Quicklaunch\Soul Calibur v1 001 1999 Namco PAL M4 zip\Soul Calibur v1.001 (1999)(Namco)(PAL)(M4)[!].gdi" no dice... the gdi boots fine if I load via demul gui (Config>GD-ROM>Imagefile). GDRImage plugin selected. Demul does launch, but 'silently' - running in background processes but not visable on screen. Also, no sign of game running. Any ideas? Very little documentation available online,.

Hey guys. I was messing around with DEmul 0.5.7 and realized I never tried to play a Dreamcast game through it. Loaded up a cdi file and was pleased with how it handled the game. I decided to set it up as an emulator with the setup wizard. Did some test command lines and nothing seemed to work. Did some searching within the forum here and noticed that it was an issue with the previous DEmul 0.5.5 and 0.5.6. Has anyone successfully got a command line to run Dreamcast games using the latest 0.5.7 WIP DEmul?
