Dreamcast Emulator - nullDC v1.0.3 torrent

nullDC v1.0.3


1. What is it?
--------------

nullDC is a plugin based Dreamcast emulator for x86 based computers running Windows Operating Systems.


2. System Requirements
----------------------

Minimum :

- Cpu : Any CPU that supports SSE1 (AMD Athlon XP and later, Intel Pentium 3 and later)

- Video Card : DirectX9 compliant video card with Projected Textures support. (Geforce MX, ATi Radeon)

- Ram : 256 MB

- OS : Windows 2000/XP/2003

- December Redistributable of DirectX 9c. Latest version as of now can be found here:

- winpcap. It's needed for modem emulation and it's not required otherwise. It can be found here:

The above requirements are considered as the absolute minimum in order to run the emulator with just a few errors
as long as the selected plugins/options are supported by the hardware. The emulator is expected to malfunction
or to not work at all on systems that don't meet these requirements.


Recommended :

- CPU : AMD 3000+ or Intel Pentium 4 at 2.6GHz or equivalent.

- Video Card : DirectX9 compliant video card With shader model 2 support. (Geforce FX, ATi Radeon 9600)

- RAM : 512MB Dual channel DDR333

Systems that meet the recommended requirements should get acceptable speeds for most games with minimal errors.


Ideal :

- CPU : Fast Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD 4000+ or equivalent.

- Video Card : DirectX9 compliant video card With shader model 4 support. (Geforce 8 series, Radeon HD series)

- RAM : 1GB Dual channel DDR400

Systems that meet the ideal requirements should get full speed for most games using even the most demanding options.


Notes:

- Some games have higher requirements than the rest and have speed issues even on systems that meet
the recommended requirements. In that case a system close to the ideal requirements is necessary to reach full speed.

- Pentium 4 CPUs perform some tasks slower than other CPUs, thus the clock speed of 2.6GHz is needed.
On the other hand, Pentium M CPUs perform the same tasks much faster
(A Pentium M 750 at 1.86GHz should be enough to reach full speed).
Intel Celeron and AMD Duron CPUs are slow and it's expected to perform worse than the rest.

- nullDC will run on Windows Vista. However, hardware requirements will be a bit higher than the ones mentioned
above and there will probably be sound related issues (as with many other applications running on Vista).


I have also included the dreamcast bios with this release, so it is ready too use!!
