[zorbid]

But, take note that both these games get stuck after this right now :(

:o amazing work CyRUS

Plz. tell what fps you got in Crazy Taxi and your PC config.


P.S. It's good to see DC emulation progressing at lightspeed.

told me about 10fps. That's blazing fast considering the complexity of the system and without a dynarec.

cooliscool: yep, fires got that on his athlon 1800.
on my p3-850mhz laptop I get 20-30fps in menus and 5-6fps in-game.

Beautiful. Imagine a fully working super ultra fast dynarec (1964 anyone? :)) In icarus.. heaven.

Too bad i have a Dc already. :( Great job though cyrus. Be on irc later if ya can, i wanna talk some more. ;)

[tbag]

Greatest emu progress in like ages i cant wait to play DC games Cyrus your the greatest

Anyhow i hope you have more screenshots tomorrow or release Icarus ;) :cool:

[CyRUS-]

I'd love to be able to just release it but sadly things dont work like that :(
I refuse to release at a 6fps/ghz ratio and even then there is the whole notion of 'user friendliness' to deal with :)
(And I'm doing finals this year at uni so really will have to cut down the time spent on it annoyingly)

[oDD]

WOW I never thought I'd see a dreamcast emulated. Great work fires and cyrus! Man I would love to see Sonic Adventure running. *starts drooling*

[tbag]

Yeah i understand Cyrus just keep on doing the good stuff ;)

[Grant64]

NEW UPDATE AT ICARUS PAGE

DOA2 (http://icarus.boob.co.uk/gallery/Nov02/doa2_002.jpg)


One thing - Cyrus - Does the emu run sonic at all - I just think being sega's mascot it would be nice to see him in smooth 3D for the first time in emulation.
Oh, and one ore thing, are these games all ripped isos or booting from CD games???
And can someone set me straight is there such thing as a DC bios??

[Grant64]

1 more thing - who is fire??? I had never heard of him i think he must deserve accolades as well it is superb work!!!

[CyRUS-]

Fires is one of the authors of TR64 and is well known in the n64 emu scene.
Grant64: Sadly I dont have sonic adventure and sonic adventure 2 doesnt run *afaik*. (but yeah it'd be great to see sonic running about!)
Secondly the method of running games is ripping from gdrom and either burning to cdrom and booting that or just converting the data track to iso and booting that from hdd. Hopefully I'll have time to complete the server s/w for my dynamic gd-rom reading via broadband adaptor via dreamcast!

[tbag]

Fire is a guy who helps Cyrus he codes the graphic plugin ;)

[crhylove]

i have always loved crazy taxi....


w00t!!!

DOA2 looks almost as good as the PS2 version! :D

It's faster than some old 2D games in MAME....

I thought about 25 fps on 2.2Ghz machine with dynarec core. Here goes the same with interpreter. So, let's make some conclusions:

1)Dreamcast emulation requires less horsepower than Saturn emulation.


2) It's possibly to get 25+ fps even on my old 550Mhz machine with dynarec.
I hope to see it in next three years :)


Really great work :thumbsup:


P.S. I dream about DreamHLE :D

[Trotterwatch]

Some really impressive progress that you guys have made... wow! :)

/me is stunned

Actually the DC version looks better than the PS2 version, it just lacks a few extras.

[cooliscool]

wow. that doa2 shot looks amazing.

[Falcon4ever]

NICE!!!! Crazy taxi looks nice but DOA is absolutly cool =)

... hey what do i see ;) ....

[Josep]

/me turns his head

whoa!:)

[frsoldier]

Great work Cyrus!

I highly doubt that.

*drools over screenshots* It's really great to see such progress in DC emulation. Its one hell of a breakthru!

[tbag]

Gotta love the next generation of emulation ;)

[Grant64]

People often put the DC in the same category as N64 and PSX in terms of generation and forge that actually it is similar spec to PS2 because it is more efficient it will be WAAAYYY easier to emulate and indeed code for!!!

Oh and yes DC DOA2 looked way better!!!

[bjl667]

{OK-Deleted}

Its just I don't got any DC games so I can't test them, my friend has Sonic and some others but I dunno, we'll see if we can rip em and test them for ya...

[Grant64]

What the hell has that got to do with anything???

bjl667 - I really don't see why u post the PC version? Oh and good luck ripping DC GD's without the cable

Job.. erm.. taken. ;)

[(*_*)MARK]

6 months ago, I got a batch of dreamcast copied cds of about 110, but for some reason ive seem to have broken a few because they were crap now i only have 86 left.:sleepy:

snk vs capcom 2 didnt last a day, piece of crap.:sly:

Indeed it is! :D

And for an added bonus, the General DC Discussion Board gets a lot more traffic! ;)

[sk8bloke22]

nice one :D :D

[mesman00]

if you didn't alraedy do it, check out the new shots on emulation64.com. absolutely amazing.

[tbag]

Wow! your progressing so much everyday Cyrus & Fire

Judging by that great plugin Fire keeps working on everyday Crazy Taxi should be improved alot more now?

Anyhow keep it up my thirst is still there ;)

[FiRES]

Please dont call my "Fire" ;)

thanx,
F|RES

[CyRUS-]

haha

[tbag]

Sorry F|RES ;)

Anyhow keep it up the day i can play DC commercial games is the day i get my job??

Anyhow yeah to be different from everyone else:
Stop doing your work its crappy your never gonna get anywhere you crapheads ;)

nah j/k :)

[Grant64]

tbag has way too much time on his hands!



The progress is impressive and the textures are looking better and better!!! I am delighted that the 2 main DC emu's are putting in so much effort! Keep up the good work

Yep i sure do but yeah great work guys keep it up the Richer the better, good thing i have a sweet tooth ;)

[CyRUS-]

Which are the main two? dreamer was still a v.good effort and an unreleased build just about ran namco museum. Anyhow i've added a couple of updated snowsurfers shots to the screenshots page so u might like those :)

[Lord Cheese]

*slap*

he means Icarus and Dreamemu silly :P

sadly, dreamemu sux and is not worthy to be refered to as a main emu :)

Bad news is working isn't much better! ;)

[decription]

Amazing dude. I seriously can't believe how far along Icarus is. Like cool said a Dynamic Recompling Engine would help speed tremendously, progression of emulators often yields speed increases as well so I'm not worried about that. Great work Cyrus. Do you have any plans to start work on a Dynamic Recompling Engine anytime soon or have someone do it?

[CyRUS-]

Since i'm so busy with r/l i may set up a dynarec plugin system but eventually I'd like to write my own.
wooh, powerstone now works too =)
