Bobbi of NGEmu posted a update on the Dreamcast emulator, nullDC.
But let’s start with some real facts directly from the authors this time: The authors are ZeZu, known from the never released Icarus project, and drk||Raziel. The emu, unlike mentioned in some other news posts, will not be open source. It uses plugins for emulating video / sound / input and gdrom functionality, so other authors will be able to contribute to the project easily.
During the development, the authors decided to set compatibility above speed. This resulted in a nice compatibility, but requires better hardware to emulate the games at full speed (an Athlon64 3000+ with a GeForce 6600 produces great results).
I like that they are focusing on compatibility. The Dreamcast emulation scene has seemed a bit quiet for a while so I hope things will change now. I can’t wait to see what they have been working on.
