Official builds of MAME played Cave games kinda slow and with no sound (i expected that from the MAME team) The company "Cave" sended a letter to the MAME developers and possibly the Demul developers to stop emulating their games, so new versions of MAME don't play Cave games anymore and maybe that's why Demul removed the option to play Cave games too.
Nulldc Naomi too troublesome to emulate 1 rom.ĭemul Naomi,Naomi 2 just pick and play it have the higher compatibility in 057ĭemul Atomiswave increased compatibility and a bigger rom list.Ĭave SH3 emulation removed due to complains from Cave (Mame received a worst letter removed all Cave drivers since release 0.145)Īs i see in 056 and 057 the differences are quite obvious but yeah someone leaked the WIP and they say is not much better,its unstable but as the name implies is WIP it will keep changing but at least this is more stable than NullDC and i dont need 3 different emulator to play the games from sega and with this you dont need to worry about the extenion of the ISO because works with cdi nrg mds gdi and with the last nulldc you can barely load the cdi iso because the rest are just errors if there is one emulator dead that would be Null DCĪfter googling things up i found something interesting: Russian coders demul dreamcast emulation increased to 90% of dreamcastgames catalog for version 057 (it can be almost 98% but im talking about perfectly emulated) the only dreamcast emulator with netplay and shader filters, closed source.Īmerican coders Nulldc dreamcast emulation increased emulation to 58% of dreamcast games catalog for version 104 (it can be almost 65% but im talking about perfectly emulated) dont have netplay open source. Not happy,let see this have the biggest compatibility list for dreamcast games in fact lets see VMS: added default vms file to all ports NET: new proprietary network plugin added NAOMI: added jvs standart touchscreen emulation (Touch De Uno! 2) NAOMI: added M1/M2/M3/M4 decompression implementation, now all protections are emulated (thanks to Adnreas Naive, Deunan Knute, MAME and DU teams) MODE元: added little improvements, still no sound, not a priority since supermodel is here ) GUI: new VMS manager merged with maple devices, menu rearranging GPU: new DX11 two-pass postfilters, texture conversion on the GPU GPU: new DX11 translucent modifiers, aspect ratio support with hotkeys GPU: new DX11 object list multi-layered render simulation GPU: new DX11 plugin featured order-independency transparency GDR: added support for filenames with spaces to GDI CORE: removed redundant gpu/spu multi threading CORE: new sh4/ppc cores, improvements, bugfixes DX11 support for Naomi 2 still imperfect and have some known issues, don't bother with that. Not much work was done on the Naomi 2 subsystem too, there is no significant changes, just a little bit of fixes.
No, model 3 emulation still in the same state (except some overall graphics and compatibility improvements, made previously) all work currently suspended in favor to much more active supermodel emulator. ) Now we have our proprietary netplay plugin, too new to work fine, and totally untested, so you are welcome to try. The rest is the sound subsystem have some bug fixes, improving known problems. Emulator is now support 7zip romsets for the bioses and arcade systems, most of the protection/encryption formats for the arcade systems, many many new romsets added during last year and many previously unsupported games or game controllers now are supported. Further development of the DX9 plugins is stopped for now.Īnd finally overall interface and usability changes. From this version old DX9 GPU plugins (DXv3 and DXLegacy) are obsolete, although they are still supported and included in current package. Second significant change is that GPU subsystem now migrated to the DX11 interface (currently DX10-capable GPU is enough).
There is not so much visible changes for more than year of work, but much more internal changes, overall compatibility and graphics quality.įirst of all, the new SH4 core now have full MMU support for interpreter/dynarec modes, which is slightly improved compatibility and allow to run most of the WinCE games fast enough to play. DEmul is a Sega Dreamcast(DC) emulator able to play commercial games.
