Alpha Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 I don't know, they have been working on it forever and not one beta release. Look at the XBOX and PS2 emulators, they are releasing BETA's everyday!! So I am getting a little sceptacle and also since no one is making any dreamcast emulators while were waiting for Icarus; which is quite dumb.
Diso Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 helps if you look in the forums once in a while http://www.robpol86.com/?id=icarus&noframe=1
DreamCastLover Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 CyRUS64 is pretty respected in the DC scene so I highly doubt it is a fake. Atani (who wrote DCGenerator - genesis emu) actually wrote a GBA emulator for the Dreamcast but decided not to release it because it would be used for Warez (booo we love warez ) CyRUS64 also wrote one of the first legal (ie not using the illegal XDK) emulators for the Xbox. So yeah my bet is that it is legit and he will release it in a far more advance state than people expect.
emsley Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 What kind of graphics card are we talikng here?
DreamCastLover Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 What kind of graphics card are we talikng here?I don't think it would need, top, top of the range but I'm guessin your 3d card would still have to be pretty powerful to get the games running at a good speed with sound.
emsley Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 I conquer. Wooohoooo! Sorry had a spearhead flash back.
ken_cinder Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Nobody goes and publicly announces an emulator they are writing, and doesn't even release a beta after YEARS (Yeah, YEARS!!!)I think it's a big fake. However, I don't really care in the least. I have a REAL Dreamcast.
Alpha Posted September 14, 2003 Author Posted September 14, 2003 I doubt they would answer us back if we emailed them. I mean the only way they can prove to us it's no fake is to actually send us a Beta. (Now that would be cool..we can actually get some publicity and rate their Beta!) At the same time, we need to get ourself more known I think before we can do such a thing. What would we say to them also?
emsley Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 This Dear dude/Babe. Give us a beata to test of your icarus emulator.If you dont we will get dreamcastlover to send you back street boys MP3'S.Alos we are the number one 1emulaiton forum out there we know the ins and out's of da scene. Love gamecop. Heh. Ok i know we wont be sending that.I am sure we could get something going, how about an on line petition for some kind of real proof?
echoman Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 Hmm I don't know, we have been waiting an awful long time for at least an beta, maybe it is fake but I hope not, it looks like they have had alot of progress with it. Maybe they are just waiting to get a perfect release until they release something. Like they said in their fourms it is extremely buggy and they want to put out something that is near perfect. If i remember correctly, didn't the author of Visual Boy Advance release an emu out of nowhere that was perfect or at least real close to it. I remember just reading one day about this new gba emulator and I tried it, haven't looked back since.

I remember just reading one day about this new gba emulator and I tried it, haven't looked back since.The author of Visualboy Advance already had an emulator for Gameboy/Gameboy Advance out called Visualboy (Advance just came in after he added support for GBA)And at least HE put out his first releases which only ran a handful of games.Icarus has been talked about for at LEAST 2 years now, and nothing but some screenshots and a couple videos.I think its 110% fake!They need to either release something to the public, or STFU and go away!
DreamCastLover Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 (edited) I don't see what someone like Cyrus64 would have to gain by lying though. He has been an active coder in both the DC and N64 and now Xbox emulation scenes for a long time. Anyway at the moment Icarus is your only real hope of playing DC games on your PC unless Kagero turns out to be real (doesn't look likely) Edited September 29, 2003 by DreamCastLover
