Demul - Support WinCE utilizes only 1 core? (Updated - Videos)

Hi, I noticed what all games WinCE run slowly (40-60fps), and the emulator use only 1 core, in the future the emu will support 2 cores or multi-thread for this feature? Maybe result in a speed up... or maybe not xD.

Saludos!

It has been this way as long as I know Demul.. I thought it had to do with the difficulty of offloading load to different cores. There aren't many emulators which are multicore anyway..

Dolphin can use a 2nd core for the audio and PCSX2 can use multiple core in software-mode, but that's all the emu's I know which are multicore (but there could be more..).
 
Wince games are not properly emulated by any of the more common dreamcast emulators, and the ones that do it, don't do it with playable framerates, at the moment, demul is the only software that reaches more than 40 fps.

Keeping in mind that naomi 2 has the 2 core mod now with the newest dx11 plugin, i wonder if in the future with a dx12 pkugin maybe the dual core option maybe integrated to dreamcast to?

Maybe in a future x64 builds speed-up a bit the things...
