NullDC-360 (DC Emu) W.I.P. Update Posted by XanTium | November 29 19:57 EST | News Category: Xbox360

A new WIP update of GliGli's NullDC-360 (Dreamcast Emulator) for LibXenon-homebrew 360s has been posted: [QUOTE] After a long dev period here's a little update about GliGli's nulldc port, on the last update, the emu was running on interpreter, and GliGli faced a big problem, there is no dynarec for the xbox 360 architecture (PowerPC), so he had to code his own :D Currently the port runs at 168mhz ingame for Soul Calibur (DC Cpu speed is 200mhz). The speed is not constant during games, for example you can see on the video that Soul Calibur stage 1 isn't at that emulation speed, but the other stages are. To Do : - Reach full speed - Sound Emulation - Add Save - Add Menu [/QUOTE] News-Source: libxenon.org

Oh Boy! I am super stoked for this release Great Work Keep it up! Thank you!

awesome, i cant wait for this!

lol makes me miss my DC, might go dust it off until this is completed. Good news indeed!

This is awesome. I'm pretty sure I sent drkIIraziel a JTAG'ed 360 like a year ago for free...nothing ever came of it. Maybe I got scammed.

Really cool work GliGli, the port looks very promising!

Definitely look forward to it when it's ready.

GliGli's dedicated effort and time spent on libxenon and software for it, etc. is highly commendable.

Thanks!

i have to say WOW DC EMU running SC even with stage 1 lagging all the rest looks great
keep up the great work hope to see a good stable build soon

damn nice work indeed

props to ya GliGli

cheers n beers

Yay! Is this the same NullDC project that was started in '09, or is this a different port?

really great news!! Thanks so much for hard work! Brings back memories i remember freshman year college and my lil studio apt playing nfl2k across 56k dial up modem really loved power stone soul caliber mvc and tokyo racer gosh thanks for returning this to ability to me my dreamcast was stolen grrrr

Great work, GliGli!

Dreamcast on my Jtag.

I have dreamed of the day!

i hope the broadband adaptor might get emulated properly... be awesome to get pso working on it lolz

So few responses for such a feat is ridiculous. Much respect to the dev and thank you for keeping the scene alive with legit emus.

Awesome work! Cant wait! DC was one of my favorite systems! powerstoneeee here we come.

DC was an epic console and I can't wait for this release. Great work Gligli

*Sigh* Sadly there's not enough Homebrew capable 360s around so this is gonna die in the tricky stages before it gets anywhere near useable, because sadly that's just the way of the world, not enough praise means Homebrew developers just give up when they can't build a team, so everyone here better get out your f #@*ing Pom Poms and cheer the Hell out of these guys.

What are you talking about???? There are PLENTY of exploitable consoles now with the new glitch attack. This isnt like the "jtag hack" where is was patched out before it was ever released to the public but usable on damn near any 360 out there. Now there are a few that arent able to do this but im sure they will figure those out too.

While appreciated I seriously doubt that most devs make homebrew simply for the praise of others.

I'm just being realistic here... The 360 has drive FW and almost everyone mod their console purely to play backups, and that includes Jtag & Glitch Hack, yeah it is a sad state of affairs but that is the facts, and every single Homebrew enabled console with a relatively small audience has almost no Homebrew made for it because developers just don't see the point if they don't get enough gratitude for their hard work, i mean just look at how Xbox 1 & Psp Homebrew just fizzled out, and now imagine the amount of people who will mod their 360 for anything more that HDD backups and free DLC.

just to pick you up on few points

not everybody is freetard and mods there console for piracy ( opps i mean back ups what was i thinking )

why would somebody jtag or glitch there 360 just to play copies like the rest of the freetards when a simple drive flash would suffice

the 360 DID have a small homebrew user base but that will become history since the rgh came out

the original xbox homebrew scene fizzled out ( as you call it ) due to the fact there was damn nearly nothing left to bring out for it and the things that hadn't been brought out was due to limited hardware restraints ( weak cpu and low memory )

Well the reason people Jtag or Glitch Hack their console is very simple and obvious, there's the practicality of running backups from HDD and thousands of $'s of DLC released every month you would still have to pay for with just using Drive FW, and i hate to say it but the majority of people who have modded any console did it mainly for backups, and Homebrew is just an added extra that becomes a byproduct for most people, i mean I've been a massive fan of Homebrew pretty much since the beginning but Homebrew in general has taken a huge hit since people realised they could actually make money from doing exactly the same thing they once did for free but can now make money on IOS & Android and to a lesser extent XBLA & PSN.

And none of this has anything to do with people making homebrew. You're kind of looking at it through the eyes of a game publisher, which is horse shit (no offense). Just because most people (and I agree with you here) mod their system to get free games - that does not and should not stop homebrew developers from making content. It doesn't even begin to make sense. He's not porting this just to get a bunch of replies on xbox-scene, and MAME 0.72 wasn't ported to Xbox 360 just because lantus was looking for praise. I don't think any talented homebrew developer in their right mind would think, "I'm only going to put all of this unpaid time and effort into this free software if every JTAG owner uses it and thanks me for it."

Looking good indeed. Not sure if lighting system and shadowing existed on the DC or not as didn't see much in the game. Still this will be great to be able to run all DC games off. The DC is quite a hard console to find these days believe it or not so allot of the games on it get discarded and are actually pretty good. Liked it better then the PS1/2

on a somewhat related subject, when this is finished - what are the chances it would also run bleemcast?

Playing your 360, in your Dreamcast emulator, loading up your PSX backups. oh the irony! (yes I am aware that there is a PSX emulator!)
