Dreamcast Emulation Hits PS3: nullDC In Action

Exophase.com writes, "What better way to leverage the PS3′s computational prowess than with a Dreamcast emulator? It’s quite a jump from the 16-bit SNES, however, homebrew developer drk||Raziel has taken to the challenge with a port of his very own nullDC."

too bad there are no dreamcast games considering the few good games it had have been re released and ported to pretty much every thing in existence

Blaze9295717d ago

what in the world are you talking about? I can't even....

EYEamNUMBER15717d ago

im loosing all hope in N4G mixing with any form of sarcasm or joking whatsoever

qface645717d ago (Edited 5717d ago )

don't see how its so hard to understand that

k let me put it this way
i don't see how this is a big deal considering you can play dreamcast games on pretty much everything (joking tone) seeing as how the good worthwhile dream cast games have been pretty much ported to so many different things as well as being able to play any dreamcast game on any PC

Baka-akaB5717d ago

well grandia 2's ports were incredibly crappy , so here is one at least

Honestly, if you want a Dreamcast emulator that bad, download it for the PC. Guess what? You can use a USB controller too, and here's the kicker... since you're download emulators, cracking consoles, I'm gonna go out and say that you're download pirated games too. Well, well, well... today's your lucky day as PC's have over hundreds of different torrent websites to download unlimited amounts of Dreamcast games.

OneSneakyMofo5717d ago

Sorry for the typos. I have the flu :D

ReservoirDog3165717d ago

A lot of people's pcs suck though.

Not justifying anything, just saying.

dragonelite5717d ago

Uuh how are we suppose to download iso to emulate not touching the ps 3 browser with a ten foot pole flipping open my laptop starting it up and go to a website is already faster then ps 3 browser.

inbe4 360 fanboy but you have to either use fanboys timers to not see that ps 3 browser is slow as fuck and no internet is fine enough 35mb/s.

madpuppy5717d ago

was better supported and lasted longer in Japan, and that there are plenty of games released in Japan that they could mine for other regions.

The PShackers find an exploit to go online with this, can you imagine you scroll to your friends name and it says: PLAYING:NFL 2K

Elite_7375717d ago

This is awesome. I want to get a new ps3 so i can Homebrew. Also, I don't get why people are against this jailbreak. The Ps3 is now Open source, that is fantastic.

Sure, piracy is bad, but being open source out-weighs all the cons. Just look at the wii, it made me love it all over again when i hacked it. Quake is fucking awesome on it.

Blaze9295717d ago

yeah I honestly don't get it either. All anyone ever thinks about is piracy and sure, maybe some hacks going on with trophies and PS3 games but man, when I say custom firmware absolutely MADE my PSP I tell you no jokes. The things I can do with my PSP (still on PSP-1000) heavily outweigh everything Sony originally intended for that device and since I paid $250 - I should be able to do whatever I want with it.

If it wasn't for custom firmware on PSP, I honestly would've gotten rid of that device years ago.

I say bring on the PS3 Jailbreak developments. I'm very excited with ever progress made towards it. could care less about getting banned or going online - would just buy another PS3 for that sole purpose.

f7897905717d ago

Anyone who says a hacked PSP is a bad thing doesn't know what they are talking about. Go look at the themes you can make. The best part is playing ANY PS1 game you want without waiting for Sony to put it on the store.

xAlmostPro5717d ago

not really.. no online play or PSN use, and at some point insane piracys.. it hasnt done any good for the psp

DeadIIIRed5717d ago

I can see why so many people are excited about this kind of stuff, being able to play SNES and Dreamcast on a current gen system. Regardless of how much of a thrill you get from home-brewing, it doesn't outweigh the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars publishers and developers lose because of the inevitable piracy that comes with this kind of stuff. The more they lose the more budget cuts. The people who create the games you buy work hard (well most of them) just like you or your parents. The people who developed this hack only take advantage of hard working people. Don't support this crap.

akaFullMetal5717d ago

Have they cracked the firmware past 2.4? Any of them?

El_Colombiano5717d ago

They never "cracked" any firmware. The only reason the PS3 is open to unsigned code now is because of the leaked data from Sony. I love how all these "1337 haxxorz" claim they "busted open" the PS3. All they did was use code that should have never left Sony. So I really doubt they'll be able to apply the exploit to any new firmwares.

ReservoirDog3165717d ago

Better to be smart or lucky?

They weren't smart enough but got lucky.

In the end though, you can do this on the PS3 though.

Biggest5717d ago

It's better to be smart in this case. There isn't much of a chance of getting lucky again. Maybe in four more years. Anyone using their PS3 with these "tools" is basically using a crappy PC for something that a normal PC could already do. Well, I guess every exclusive PS3 game up to this point as well. But since nothing is actually hacked, you won't be able to play anything new. And you won't be able to play online. If you want to spend $300-$600 for that, more power to you.

Ratchet_Co5717d ago

How ironic, Sonic Adventure just came out lol

El_Colombiano5717d ago

And I'm torn whether I should buy it or not. I absolutely loved it on the Gamecube.

Nitrowolf25717d ago (Edited 5717d ago )

First Video Game i ever played
i bought it
its a lot buggy then i remembered it (camera and some walking issue in the forest jungle thingy)

although i am loving it, bought the director cut never got to play Metal Sonic my dreamcast died on me when i almost had all the emblems for the original and then my gamecube ended up doing the exact same thing.

I have to say graphics are not that bad, i mean compared to nearer Sonic really all what they are just less jags and more texture.

This game was beatiful the only thing i hate about it is the F'n retarded cat missions

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle19d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7719d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy26d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7727d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga27d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199227d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga26d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman26d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger26d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box27d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion26d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7227d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7527d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit27d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14927d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7727d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
