I've heard alot of rumers about a Dreamcast EMU but I was wondering if there was any good (if any) emulators out there and what would I need to run one?

I dont think there are any decent dreamcast emulators around, but I dont know.

There is one that you have to buy, but obviously since I havent bought it, I dont know if it works :/

Chris might know.

<span style='colorurple'>Gawd.. I know this is gonna sound really stupid.. and I really think I know.. or atleast I've heard about it before.. But what is a emulator? I cant remember?! I'm sorry if that really makes anyone angry.. but hey... you gotta learn sometime.</span>

em·u·late
Computer Science. To imitate the function of (another system), as by modifications to hardware or software that allow the imitating system to accept the same data, execute the same programs, and achieve the same results as the imitated system.

pink, thats an emulator. nat, go to zophar.net has 2 that only run demos

<span style='colorurple'>ahaa.. I remember now.. Like if a game is made only for GameCube.. and you have a PS2.. and you wanna play this game on your ps2...and so then you get an emulator to be able to do so.. did I get it?</span>

Kinda of, except they aren't that advanced yet. Super Nintendo is very close to being perfect but not yet. As for Dreamcast, I've never really looked at any emulators for it, best bet would be to try zophar.

Ive heard of one Dreamcast emulator that can play commercial games..its called Icarus..It hasnt been released yet but it looks like the only one that can play dc games.. heres some links of the emu in progress.. <a href='http://icarus.boob.co.uk/' target='_blank'>http://icarus.boob.co.uk/</a> <a href='http://www.robpol86.com/_pages/icarus/index.php' target='_blank'>http://www.robpol86.com/_pages/icarus/index.php</a>

Well I'm not really holding my breath but I just wanna play Shenmue 2 cos I finnished the first one years ago and sold my Dreamcast cos I couldn't find any copies...but now there's loads!!!! Oh well I guess I'll just buy another one! Btw Snes emulation still can't handle SF Aplha or whatever the last one on Snes was called...it's a damn shame too

I think dreamcast emulation in any advanced form is a long way off yet. I hope there are people out there working on it - but as Chris said its not long since they perfected SNES emulation! and it's still not perfect!

well you could always download bleemcast, then download the dreamcast games, and run them on a virtual CD via nero.

why must emulation get so damm complicated?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! i guess im stuck playing bubble bobble in nester :blink:

Yeah it's pretty gay......I'm gonna wait or get a chipped X-Box
