Demul is the best. Reicast OIT is coming along as is redream.

>is the developement for DC emulators stagnant

Not at all.

>>15006849

>What is the best emulator out there for the Dreamcast?

Buying a used dreamcast and a spindle of cheap cd-r's

>Redream's hi-res rendering is behind a paywall

>have to register even to download the free version

Fucking Jews.

Anyway, Demul is probably the only viable option since it also can play WinCE, Naomi and Atomiswave games. Use NullDC only if you have a literal potato instead of a PC.

Demul is legit the best you're gonna get. Ignore the rest, they're either shittier (compat issues), or filled with drm/paywall shit.

I had two buddies with Dreamcasts and we played together a lot. I'm kind of bummed that it died as fast as it did but I think it was a good system overall. It had a lot of good games and I got a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Never buy. Always get for free.

fuck off huemonkey

Is there a way to download official graffiti on to my Dreamcast for Jet Grind Radio or were official servers the only way?

>>15012300

Anyone?

Demul

>I just suck at searching

Pretty much, otherwise you'd know DC emulators are still being developed. Only NullDC has really died.

>>15011188

>cheap cd-r's

Those digits won't save the fact most DC rips for compact discs downgrade and even remove assets to fit within 700mb. 99min CD-Rs from Toshiba are are the only option and even those aren't made anymore.

pls go.

>>15016380

>>15016406

why are you getting defensive over the huenigger being called out? Weak show.

>>15016422

pirates aren't hueniggers, the only ones who think that are shills since only a shill would have reason to support paying for a product (and an out-of-production product, such as the dreamcast games, at that).

you clearly don't belong here, so why not go back wherever you came from?

>>15016433

you don't even know who the huenigger is, shut the fuck up you easily offended faggot

>>15016445

>c-call him a faggot

>ur just ezily ofended maaaan

hang yourself. you're the dumbass who thinks piracy is in any way bad.

>>15016449

Just came into the thread to tell you you're a fucking dumbass.

Best piracy for a dreamcast is to buy a fucking dreamcast and get a bunch of CDR's you poor pitiful fuxking faggot.

>>15016449

I don't, you're the newfag who doesn't know who the huenigger is. Keep posting.

>>15016490

>I think most games don't even need to have anything ripped,

You think but you don't know; rips for Shenmue and Sonic Adventure 2 downgrade assets (Shenmue's audio is even more compressed) or remove them (SA2's entire Japanese voice track is usually removed in most rips). Later games that utilize the whole GDROM space cannot fit on a CD are not accurate rips at all.

>Even when the games are too big, the scene usually manages to create satisfactory rips. Very few titles are truly troublesome.

Unless they've found new methods of compression, those full GDROM sized games are shit on CDR.

>>15016451

>get a bunch of CDR's you poor pitiful fuxking faggot.

Just make sure you don't burn full gigabyte games, the rips are shit.

>>15016644

>rips for Shenmue and Sonic Adventure 2 downgrade assets (Shenmue's audio is even more compressed)

This rip of Shenmue simply cut and hardlinked duplicate files, and compacted audio without loss of quality. Only the videos in the Passport disc had to be downsampled. Good enough?

>Unless they've found new methods of compression

How interesting, there is actually this new rip of Skies of Arcadia that uses compression, like the old Echelon rip, but with a far more optimized method that makes it pretty much identical to the real thing.

About SA2, losing the Japanese audio is not THAT much of a loss, if everything else works… I recall some old rips crashed after Prison Island exploded. Good thing I have a legit copy of it. (And Shenmue, and Skies of Arcadia.) But in any case… you can just play the Gamecube version on Dolphin, I guess.

If you remove anything, it's a shit rip. Some people like the Jap dub for its hilarious use of Engrish. Stop defending bad rips that don't even work.

>you can just play the Gamecube version on Dolphin, I guess.

Gamecube version is missing some extra content (costumes) that are only in the DC version.

Emulate Dreamcast games with GDI files.

You have very high standards. Buy the original then.
