![]() I never succesfully managed to get this to work. Some glitch out or run fast, but if you have a large ROM library, just choose another game.Ģ) The latest version of NesterDC does have light gun support, provided you apply the trainer. Most of the time it's due to the later - no matter how many times I say it one can't expect to get consistant results out of penny-a-pound Memorex CD-R's burned at 40x."ġ) Most of the NES games work for me. "Every instance of a Dreamcast not reading a CD-R I've bared witness to was either due to defective hardware or bad burns using low grade CD media. In fact most of the time the disc doesn't even spin when using NESterDC as everything is loaded into memory once a game is running. NESterDC however only reads the disc when a game is loaded or the games menu is accessed after the initial load or loading the list after a game has been exited. ![]() Also a few Dreamcast homebrews that have extremely long load times (DoomDC comes to mind) cause more wear to the Dreamcast than most commercial games, but that's because it has a much longer load time. ![]() This isn't because it's a CD-R, but because of how the data is read off the disc. Now some Dreamcast backups (as in bootleg duplicates - which I do NOT promote in any way) cause the Dreamcast to work MUCH harder to read the data (due to how it is set up) than it would if it was reading the commercial version. That's the same as if a commercial game had a shitty pressing. I take it the rumors aren't true then? You'd be the person to ask It depends really, CD-R isn't bad for the Dreamcast, but lower quality media and faster burns will of course make the laser work harder to read the data. I continually read statements on boards like this claiming CDR's wear out DC systems at a faster rate than they normally would. I take it the rumors aren't true then? You'd be the person to ask ![]() None of the emulators cause the Dreamcast to do a long or hard read any more than a commercial game would.All my emulation takes place on a PC, so I haven't tried NES emulation on a Dreamcast. Dunno if that still even exists, but when Schzero released it I didn't bother giving it a second look.Ĥ) Use decent quality media and you'll be fine. To begin with first let me say I use NESterDC v7.1, I do not use the SE version as I don't like how it handles a few things, namely how it requires a massive download to set things up. None of the emulators cause the Dreamcast to do a long or hard read any more than a commercial game would. There is a very nice NeoGeo AES emulator in development but again, it's nowhere near as polished as NES emulation is on the Dreamcast.Ĥ) Use decent quality media and you'll be fine. Gameboy / Gameboy Color (via DCGNUBoy) emulation isn't bad either. SMSPlus is a very nice Sega Master System / Game Gear emulator as well but aside from that nothing is as full featured as NES emulation. v7.1 displays a crosshair that is controlled by the directional pad, far from ideal but not entirely horrible.ģ) NES emulation is where it's at. Speed is near perfect as is sound emulation.Ģ) As far as I know NESterDC v7.1b+ supported Dreamcast lightguns but I never did any work with that build. There are a few emulation glitches such as how the road is drawn for games like Rad Racer and other titles that display the same. Dunno if that still even exists, but when Schzero released it I didn't bother giving it a second look.ġ) About 95% of the NES / Famicom library works near perfectly. I appreciate the help and opinions as always, DP. Can anyone out there confirm this?)ģ) What other systems can the Dreamcast emulate well? SNES? Genesis?Ĥ) I also heard that CD-Rs can damage the DC's laser more. via the DC Gun? (A friend who used to come into EBGames when I worked there claims you can, but I can't seem to find any information about it. If I end up buying one, I'd be VERY interested in playing NES games on it especially.įor anyone here that has tried this out, I have a few questions:ġ) How well do the NES games work for you?Ģ) Can you play the NES Light Gun games such as Duck Hunt, Freedom Force, etc. So I've recently been thinking about getting another Dreamcast, and I've also been looking up some info on how you can create selfboot emulation discs for it.
