It includes new features and new systems mentioned in this topic, many bugs fixed, as well as several unfinished parts, like new DX11NG render. Demul: Dreamcast Emulator (Setup/Controller/Graphic Settings) Tutorial Sega Dream Cast Emulator

About the emulator, what was your biggest task in it?By many requests we decide to make public build of emulator to show and share current stage of its development. I think all undocumented home or arcade platforms were reverse-engineered in this way for that matter. Involves disassembling, analyzing and guessing what it is doing at this or that part of code, especially on hardware-access parts, in which we have to guess which hardware registers it might be, and how it might function, amond other things. Reverse-engineering code from BIOS, games, etc. It is like the successor of the Sega Model series like a Sega Model 4. It would be great if you could give detail about each one, since I do know that they just share some hardware but most of it is vastly different. Give me this and that! What would you comment about that, as well as what was needed to work on in order to get Naomi working? At the home market the biggest thing is the price tag, so Dreamcast was cost-reduced hardware and got less RAM which was expensive back in the day. Dreamcast or any other consoles are not interesting for me almost at all.Īround what time did that happen? Something that always intrigued me was about how Naomi was mostly based on the Dreamcast but with some few hardware differences like extra RAM. Sometime later, Wind proposed that I should join the Demul team and I agreed. I do various things IRL, but my hobby in spare time is to research various things retro not just hardware. So, without anything else to add, please enjoy! First of all, thank you for this opportunity since I was young I always was so fascinated with emulators, and I still admire emudevs including you because of all their hard work on doing something like getting a previous console to work in a whole new platform. With all of this said, not only he provides some interesting insight in his work in DEMUL, but also talks about many experiences and knowledge about the arcade-based hardware emulated and talks about his work in both MAME and The Dumping Union arcade game dumping community as well. Interestingly enough, MetalliC joined aroundfour years after the project was created by Wind, and while turns out that he was much more interested in arcade and reverse engineering than Dreamcast, he contributed a lot to general and GPU emulation improvements but was particularly involved in a lot of work for the arcade hardware emulation, including both peripheral emulation and general game reverse engineering.
