Sonic Adventure 2 graphics arrors

[GodPigeon]

I understand now.

 

According to a friend of mine, it's not possible to change my graphics chip unless I change the motherboard and some other stuff.

Do you have idea of what laser I can get for my dreamcast??? would a DVD laser work?? Because not in hell I will be able to get a laser for a dreamcast.

You can find someone else with a broken dreamcast, i know i have a couple lying around here, and those lasers work just fine.

If you have a desktop computer with enough room in the case and a spare AGP (or PCI-E) port, you can jot in a new graphics card and then disable the integrated GMA chip from the system BIOS. However, if the BIOS has no option to disable the integrated chip, then you don't have much choice but to replace your motherboard.

The ones we have at work have integrated video, but if a video card is plugged in, the onboard video is automatically disabled and the new card works instead.

Well I have a laptop.... thats the problem.

And I have no money to get a desktop (this laptop was a gift)

and BTW, I recently tried playing in DEmul.... things work just fine, the problem is that it only runs at 18 FPS... Some minimal texture errors though. I had to use Open GL to make it work lol

[Agozer]

Yeah, for some reason, Intel's chips are also paricularly bad when rendering stuff via DirectX, no such problems with OpenGL. Demul is slower than Chankast, even in in DynaRec mode (which you should use anyways).

[AntiRellik]

Does anybody know if is there gonna be any new release of demul?

[Agozer]

One does not simply create a new version in mere months when people have been complaining about sound and speed. Give it time. No one knows, and the developers aren't talking.

[AntiRellik]

I'll guess i'll eventually will have to check out some forums and news to see if a new version was released or a brand new emulator... since there is no way i'm gonna be able to get a dreamcast arround here.

[Agozer]

When a new version is released, you'll see the news on many major emulation sites, including this one. Such news don't go under the radar.
