beev May 4, 2016 Share May 4, 2016 Once I have my pc back up and running I want to give dreamcast emulation a go. Reicast seems to be the go to? Gdi is the preferred format? Anything else to suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvette4evr May 4, 2016 Share May 4, 2016 I used NullDC with Maximus arcade years ago if I remember correctly it worked ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beev May 5, 2016 Author Share May 5, 2016 any idea how important gdi is to cdi? or how to tell which you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawk May 5, 2016 Share May 5, 2016 Gdi = full untouched dump Cdi = dump that may or may not have been downsampled to fit on a regular cd They are extensions so just look inside the archives. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beev May 6, 2016 Author Share May 6, 2016 So is Gdi usually the preferred format for emulators than? Should one grab cdi copies as well just incase they run better in certain instances? Lastly do you know if there is gdi dumps out there of the majority of US realeases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artman999999 May 9, 2016 Share May 9, 2016 Demul is your best bet for Dreamcast. Unlike NullDC, Demul has actually had development activity within the last 6 years. And if you like Naomi or Atomiswave games (visually stunning in a MAME cab), Demul is the only way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueArrowUK June 7, 2016 Share June 7, 2016 I use Demul and NullDC, both good emu's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilianoi July 1, 2016 Share July 1, 2016 on pc for me the best is demul and for android reicast bat not the one from the store, the latest build fix a lot of problems, and always use gdi version converted to chd to save space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styphelus July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 Use Demul as your first choice emu and Null DC as a second choice if the game has trouble with Demul. In general, Demul now has much better emulation of the Dreamcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiarius July 14, 2016 Share July 14, 2016 Demul is what you need, as others have stated before me, it simply is a lot more compatible (except for games that run CE, which aren't really that good anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
