So this is the first article to change this and today I\u00b4d like to advise you nullDC &#8211; an emulator for the Sega Dreamcast and NAOMI arcade system. In it\u00b4s latest release 1.0.4 r50 it plays a great bunch of Dreamcast games and if you\u00b4re owner of a fast PC with a good gaming graphics card you can enjoy the games in much higher resolution than on the Dreamcast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/nulldc\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/nulldc\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You should also try to get your hands on one of those xbox 360 pc compatible game pads. They are supported by the emulator and play well with Dreamcast games.<\/p>\n<p>But one thing you should keep in mind. The emulator is still in an very early state of functionality or better stability. It crashes many times, sometimes it won\u00b4t play a game, you restart it and whoooo it works.<\/p>\n<p>And &#8211; the developer ended it work on it some months ago and turned it into open source. So hopefully some motivated and skilled people will continue development.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/NullDC\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/NullDC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before nullDC will run on your system you may need the following stuff:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>additional components for DirectX (dxwebsetup.exe)<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime (vcredist_x86.exe) &#8211; even if you\u00b4re running a 64bit Windows (like Windows 7 or Windows XP 64bit edition) you\u00b4ll need the 32bit (x86) version of the Runtime. It won\u00b4t work with the x64 version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And your nullDC &#8220;data&#8221; folder should contain at least the following files:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>dc_boot.bin (Dreamcast bios)<\/li>\n<li>dc_flash.bin (additional Dreamcast bios file)<\/li>\n<li>dc_flash_wb.bin<\/li>\n<li>dc_nvmem.bin<\/li>\n<li>fsca-table.bin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The copyright on most of these files is held by Sega, so I can\u00b4t offer them here.
