Dreamcast, Atomiswave, and Naomi Performance
-
@crush do you set any settings differently in Flycast in order to get the best performance? Redream just runs better for me IMO (Pi4 4GB).

@dreamcastkid said in Dreamcast, Atomiswave, and Naomi Performance:
naomi_rem.zip
@DreamcastKid appreciate your reply, my apologies for my own delay in noticing/responding as I haven't been too active on here lately (and have kinda been testing out other emulators/ROMs, but this-- and that unworking sfz3ugd.zip-- has been one issue that I've been meaning to get back to on here...).
So just so we're on the same page and there are no questions re: the Dreamcast/Flycast BIOS to get these NAOMI games to work (BIOS being yet another variable I've had to start wrapping my mind around here lately, since a lot of the console and arcade games I've come across thus far don't seem to use them), you're implying that the "naomi_rem.zip" one you mentioned IS an older one? (and thus probably no longer in use?). Because after you mentioned it there, I went Googling for it just now, but didn't seem to come across it.
I guess another thing I'm trying to understand is that a lot of these other emulators already seem to have their own designated folders where their BIOS files seem to go (and have recently started experimenting w/ the FDS/Famicon Disk System and ITS BIOS, which itself doesn't seem to have a designated folder for BIOS; so I wasn't quite sure if I was safe just dumping BIOS files-- like these Dreamcast ones, whatever the current/best one is-- in the general "BIOS" folder if there wasn't already a specified folder to file 'em in.
But yeah, this sfz3ugd.zip ROM I have is 95 MB unzipped (not sure if I missed how many MBs you said yours was?), with a 109.2mb chd file, annnnnd I just found/am currently DL'ing another chd file that seems to be 159mb... so again, part of the confusion is whether I have the right ROM/CHD combo.

@mortalwombat DreamcastKid is no longer a member of this forum.
@GreenHawk84 Any game in particular you got issues with? let me know and i'll record my settings and some gameplay so you can compare it for yourself.
-
@crush geez yeah belated reply on my part, not sure if I noticed that when I checked my notifications. Well, guess I'm getting no answers from him, but I may use this thread if I have any more questions about NAOMI Roms.
(side note, is the evidence/reason for the ban still posted for all to see? I'm always kinda morbidly curious about these things if only to know where the line is/was crossed, but I generally hope everybody's treating everyone with respect)

@mortalwombat all i know is that he deleted every single comment he ever made, which broke allot of helpful threads, then an admin restored the posts and he was banned. I don't know what started it.
All the bios files for Dreamcast and Naomi/Atomiswave go into "/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/dc"
As per your rom size and content regarding sfz3ugd, yours was different as mine and Dreamcastkid, i posted the results of my extracted folder above, for instance yours does not contain "93c46.bin" -
@crush I appreciate your willing to provide some results. Blitz 2001 (I think, maybe just any Blitz) and MKGold were giving me really odd graphic issues on Flycast.

Hey everyone. I just tried some NG.DEV.TEAM Dreamcast games with Flycast. Unfortunately, the core doesn't seem to work with the three that I tested (Gunlord, Fast Striker, and Gun Blade). I hear the volume, but no gameplay graphics appear (just a black screen). The same occurred with the Redream core (all on the Windows 10 x64 version of EmulationStation). Any ideas on what I can do to fix this issue? Thank you.
-
@striderx99 Sorry, but Gun Blade should be Ghost Blade, and that particular game is from Hucast Games.
-
@striderx99 cannot speak for flycast, but can confirm that all three named NG:DEV-Games run pretty well using lr-flycast.
Also running: Neo XYX & Last Hope: Pink Bullets -
@greenhawk84 Sorry currently my pc has broken down so i backed up Retropie and installed Raspbean so i could continue to work from the home office, so all i got left for gaming momentarily is my RPI0 which i turned into a Sega mini :-(
