The-Ice-Man Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 I don't know much about Dreamcast emulation, but that sounds like too little ram to even bother. I could be wrong. But you'd struggle to run some MAME games with that.
Agozer Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 There could be a number of reasons why a Dreamcast emulator crashes with a generic Windows error message, most prominent ones being that your video card is poor and/or it has poor drivers that haven't been updated in ages, or there are simply some stranger driver conflicts present. There's also the possibility that Bin2Boot gave you the finger and gave you a corrupt CDI file (which is supposedly fairly rare but does happen). While 256MB of RAM is indeed quite low, that in itself shouldn't be causing generic crashes like that. So, without dancing around the issue longer than necessary, start posting some of your computer specifications.
mr47 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Graphic 64 MBRAM 256CPU 1.7GHZDirect x9.c , I borrowed Half blood prince and installed the Direct x What do you suggest ? should I convert the bin file to something else ? what file format ? Edited October 18, 2009 by mr47
Agozer Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Despite failing to actually name the video card model, the amount of video memory it has suggests that your video card is way below minimum requirements for Dreamcast emulation on any emulator (not just by lacking in video memory, but in needed features as well). Having said that, you can now stop trying to get Code Veronica working on that computer. P.S. Half-Blood Prince really has nothing to do with this. Unless you used it as an example for where you got DirectX 9.0c... Which can be obtained from Microsoft's site anyway.
mr47 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Posted October 18, 2009 OK, I will buy a powerfull computer in a near future and try again , now I know what i need . thanks a lot Agozer and the other fellas .
The-Ice-Man Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Seriously now, a real Dreamcast is way cheaper than a new PC, and all you have to do then is put the disc in and play. You'll be able to pick up a console with four controllers, two guns, four memory cards and some games for next to nothing on ebay.
emsley Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 graphics card is the problem. you can get a high end athalon gaming rig for around 450-500 Pound.
The-Ice-Man Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Or a Dreamcast with accessories and games for around £40. If that.
mr47 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 My computer is outdated , I have to buy a new one anyway , and I think I will buy a second hand Dreamcast. thx
