Tried Time Stalkers, but no text showed up in dialog boxes and the video ran at an increased speed and left the sound lagging.

Also, Power Stone 2 worked fine for me.

Going down my list...

Army Men Sarge's Heroes didn't display menus
Looney Tunes Space Race worked, though it ran a bit slow.
Omicron something or other only showed the left half of the screen.

Omicron: The Nomad Soul?

Sonic Adventure works but the menus won't display at all. I had to guess at what I was selecting. Good thing there is that voice telling me what I'm selecting.

Resident Evil 3 - Not working. Works fine through menus and intro movies, then nothing. Also it didn't recognize a vmu. Does nullDC support saving to a virtual vmu yet?

Skies of Arcadia - Fully playable. Very minor graphical issues (I don't think the clouds were so pixelated on the dreamcast, but am too lazy to pull my DC out of the closet to confirm).

Shenmue - Fully playable. Some very minor graphical glitches.

Tech Romancer - Fully playable. Very fast!

Gundam 0079 - Not working

Sonic Shuffle - Not Playable, Goes Black After Choosing game but BGM still plays.
Worms World Party - Not Playable, Doesnt Start at all
Half Life Gold - Not Playable, goes to audio Screen
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX - 100% Playable, Minor Sound Glitches at times, Opening Scene Plays Slow.
Cosmic Smash - Playable but Slow
Dynamite Cop - Playable Kinda slow, Sound Glitches, Graphic Glitches at Char select screen
Guilty Gear X - Playable, Minor Sound glitches, A bit Slow

Project Justice - Starts Great Plays Slow with minor Sound Issues
Resident Evil Code Veronica - 100% Playable, Perfectly
Spiderman - 100% Playable, Slightly Slow
Toy Commander - 100% Playble but with SUPER SOUND ISSUESS
Virtual On - Not Playable - White screen but plays Echelon Music which is Screwed up


These could be the fault of my PC spec but i hope it helps. Welcome Back 1Emu

From what I've encountered it does have VMU support. I've been able to save my progress in Power Stone 2, and load it from the VMU in the game.

Seems every Echelon rip isn't working. All the ones I've tried, that have Echelon intros follow suit with everyone elses testing, white screen + no music/screwed up music.

I gave my DreamSNES disc a spin last night for kicks, and it runs perfectly. Only problem is, when I hit A to load a game, it "double taps" and loads the first game in the list. Emulator bug in the maple bus?
Theres something neat about seeing an emulator run in an emulator.

To get the Echelon rips to work ... you must press A or Start when you know it's at the echelon intro screen. It'll then load the game.

Thank you all for your submissions. I have updated the main list.

Rez - Seems to work better at 50Hz, but only slightly, looks kinda blocky, if your force it into a higher resolution it looks alot better though (i tried 1280X1024 fullscreen). During some points of the game it will stop for a few seconds (and sometimes the screen will turn to garbage) but it seems to always recover and run at full FPS besides that. It does the same thing at the default resolution too.

Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense: Menus have missing gfx, but you can tell what your doing, very minor gfx glitches in game, runs great besides that

Resident Evil 2 - Didn't boot
Space Channel 5 - Accelerated graphics outrun the 2d backgrounds and the sound.

Seaman - Appeared to work, but didn't know how to use a microphone.
Samba de Amgio - Appeared to work, but no matter how many Best Buy employees I threated, they wouldn't sell me a pair of USB maracas.

Hei in this emulator finally Sonic Adventure 2 Works perfectly except from the sound voices.

Space Channel 5 = Sex

Ecco the Dolphin: 2D text imperfections and fog is not rendering in-game.
Sonic Adventure: menu doesn't appear at all.
Crazy Taxi 2: minor graphics glitches.
Hydrothunder: sky not rendering.
Gauntlet Legends: minor graphics glitches.

Soul Reaver: minor sound issues.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 perfect.

Gauntlet Legends plays 100%. No noticable sound or graphic issues

Sonic adventure:(Pal) fully playable

sonic adventure 2:(pal) Fully Playable

giga wing 2 playable

Biohazard Code Veronica:(Jap) fully playable (fast in some area's)

Deadly Skies - Not playable (bad gfx glitches, freezes at loading before in-game)

I can't do extra large sprays in Jet Grind Radio.. I'm not sure if this is an emulation error, or how the controller emulation is coded.. it could be that the game doesn't accept, uh, "frequent sends" of the analog stick pointed up/down/whatever for sprays.

I had trouble doing sprays in Jet Grind Radio as well. I guess we just have to wait for a proper controller plugin for that.

Virtual On wasnt added on to the List.

Many games haven't been added to the list. That's why we're asking people to submit their compatibility results.

But i already Submitted Virtual On

Make that a proper controller plugin with proper analog axis mapping. The big tags require analog input.

Which was what I was trying to say.. but you totally did it better. ^^;

Street Fighter Alpha 3:(NTSC-U) Not working (Stays on black screen after loading bios)

NFL 2k1:(NTSC-U) Not working (Stays on black screen after loading bios)

Morita no Saikyo:(NTSC-J) Not working (Stays on black screen after loading bios)


Also I find that Using Chankast sound plugin on Sonic Adventure 2 seems to stop the sound cracking from the announcer, Also had no problem with Sonic Adventure 2 running to fast with the chankast sound plugin all other games like Marvel Vs Capcom 2 and Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike seem to have problems with the Chankast Spu plugin.

I have a near complete collection of USA Dreamcast games and about 40-50 imports

I'll be testing some of my favorite titles that aren't already on the list.

I'd love to test them all but I don't have the time for that, but if there are specific titles anyone would like me to test send me a PM or email and I'll give it a try.

My Machine meets the specs but it isn't the fastest either

AMD Athlon XP 2600+
1GB RAM

ATi Radeon 9600 256MB

Here are the games I've tested so far (all from CD-R media)
Working:
Tetris 4D (USA) - 100% playable (Video play back is too fast, momentary lockup when changing levels)
Rez (JPN) - 100% Playable (some emulation slowdown, momentary lockup and graphical artifcating when changing levels, some sound effects are choppy)
Ikaruga (JPN) - 100% playable (slight hesitation during level changes)
Bangahi-O (USA) - 100% playable (highlighted menu options are not visable, game plays in top left 1/4 of rendered window)

Not Working:
Twinkle Star Sprites (JPN) - wont boot (black screen)
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (USA) - boots but not playable (audio during video playback has static, doe not recognize virtual VMUs, and actual gameplay returns empty black screen)
Ooga Booga (USA) - wont boot (grey screen)

Here are a few more

Space Channel 5 (USA) - boots but is not playable (audio during video has static and hesitates every few seconds, menu options have artifacts around their edges, actual gameplay is dramatically out of sync between the audio 3D objects and 2D objects, some items move ultra fast, while other's crawl.)

Unreal Tournament (USA) - semi-playable (emulation is slow audio [both Chaincast and nullDC] is screwed up, explosion effects are non existent, other then that it plays fine)

Vanishing Point (USA) - not working (actually crashes the emulator)

Virtua Fighter 3tb (USA) - 100% playable (chaincast audio works but has no music, nullDC audio studders, other then that it plays great)

I just wanted to tell you all nice work and thanks for doing compatibility testing and submitting compatibility reports. We're all counting on you.

I hope the reference isn't lost on too many people.

I've tested Elemental Gimmick Gear on NullDC *non-selfboot...I had to use Utopia Bootdisk to get it to work* and a selfboot EGG *initials of Elemental Gimmick Gear*. With the non-selfboot, it takes it 2 mins at the least *depending on your processor speed I guess....mine is 3.2GHz* and the game starts and runs perfectly. With the selfboot one, it was flawless. Gameplay is a little fast with the Chankast plug ins, but not really THAT noticable.

Elemental Gimmick Gear *both non-selfboot and selfboot* is flawlessly playable.

Urban Chaos:(NTSC-U) Freezing after Dreamcast bios, Reading Opcode error in the cmd window of Null dc.

Seaman - does not work. It asks you to please insert Microphone into Socket A. I'm guessing NullDC doesn't support the microphone emulation for the DC.

Sega Bass Fishing 1 - I get the program error message and the application has to be closed down. This happens after the Dreamcast BIOS has loaded up and the game is about to start.

Sega Bass Fishing 2 - Works with a few graphical errors.

That's all the input I have for now. I have some other S's that isn't on the list and I'll get back to you on them *like Sega GT, Sega Swirl, Seventh Cross, Shadowman, Sega Marine Fishing, Silent Scope, some others lol*

Marvel Vs Capcom 2:(NTSC-J) Runs perfect actually better than the NTSC-U version.

Namco Museum plays 100%. Both graphics and sound.

Crazy Taxi 1 plays 100%. Minor graphical glitches.

Made a correction about Sega Bass Fishing 2...I extracted the game completely wrong...sorry about that.

Sega GT - Gameplay Freezes after BIOS, it's unplayable.

Sega Marine Fishing - Slight graphical errors during gameplay....hardly noticable. 100% Playable

I downloaded this today and ran Tech Romancer on it. It worked just fine for several minutes, but in the middle of the battle, the sound started making a noise like an old CD player encountering a skip...
I'm running WinXP on a Gateway with a P4 2.8 gHz, 1.25 gigs of ram, and crappy onboard sound.

I got Virtua Tennis (U) [MK-51054] up and running! It's i bit slow and fast at the same time but playable!


(Some issues regarding sound and no replays of the actions performed..)

Here's some screens:









Hope this emulator gets perfected because Dreamcast was/is the best console ever!

Is the scope supposed to be blury in silent scope? lol, I dont remember...its been a while (I dont think it is)

Anyways, Silent scope works nice except for the actual scope part being blury, anyone know what I am talking about?
