Naomi/Atomiswave emulation?
-
Just curious to know if there has been any progress regarding Dreamcast emulation specifically for Naomi/Atomiswave.
I couldn't download Reicast yesterday but I guess it won't run Atomiswave games right?
So what about Demul? Anytime soon coming to RetroPie? I got pretty much every game I wanted running on FBA now thanks to the help of some guys here but the collection would be complete with Fist of the Northstar or Rumble Fish 1&2.
Man I LOVE that Fist of the Northstar adaption on Naomi/Atomiswave. Best Fist of the Northstar game out there. -
demul is for directx/windows. retropie is linux/opengl.

Demul is not opensource, so it can't be ported to another arch/system and will stay as x86/windows only until they decide to either make a port themselves or open the source.
I think you can play some naomi/atomiswave games on recent mame, but it is obviously too slow for a pi (and i'm not even sure it launch at all on arm). -
Thanks for the answers and clarification.
Can't have everything I guess.
Demul was open source at the very beginning but people didn't show any interest so they decided to lock the code and won't open it anymore. At least not anytime soon. Looks like pride is more important to them.lr-fbalpha covers already so many awesome games which will keep us busy for quite a while.
I think besides that there is no emulator right now the other issue is hardware power. The Pi3 most like won't have the necessary specs to run any of those Atomiswave games.
