Dreamcast Emulator coming to Android soon? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKyjlQdjWk0&feature=player_embedded I really didn't think that Androids would ever have enough power to emulate DC. If the PSP can't, how can Android. Maybe i am missing something. Well Discuss, i want to hear ideas.
The Galaxy S line can play Quake 3 and PS1 games at really nice speeds as the thing has 1ghz CPU. HAHA yep, while typing this I hear he is using a Samsung Captivate which is one of the front runners in powerful Android phones right now. The LG Star is coming out soon that has a dual core CPU for some damned reason. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Portable#Technical_specifications http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Captivate#Hardware That phone has a CPU that is a lot more powerful and more than 10x as much ram. How could it NOT do a better job?
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/14/lg-optimus-2x-looks-like-a-dual-core-star-shows-off-hdmi-out-wh/ Look at this first. The Optimus 2x totally throws the Galaxy S line out of the ring and does a victory dance. Combine this with HDMI output and you've got a hell of a portable emulation machine.
Lawl 시크릿 가든 Eps 7. I like how they play that to show it off. I like how it has the tv connection options. Sexy
Android devices like the Nexus S and galaxy S and more coming down the pike have 1 ghz cpus and 256 of ram so it would be possible to emulate dreamcast hell if android can emulate the ps1 its more then capable of emulating the dreamcast hell im hoping on a dreamcast emulator for the iphone 3g and 4
Ever heard of not piracy so the developer actually needs to get money? It's not going to happen because the developer would make it paid for, and it would be pirated too quick! It's happened before, and it will happen again.
Which completely and totally violate Apple's policies and removes your warranty. Granted rooting your Android phone typically violates the warranty too but the difference is that I can get emulators from the Android market without rooting. See Genesis, SNES, GBA and GB right now. Good luck getting the Apple app market to have anything there. I'm going to go out on a limb and surmise that there is an underlying reason there hasn't been any attempt at putting nulldc on an iPhone as of yet beyond the fact that iPhone users are typically at the lower end of the geek spectrum (don't shoot the messenger). The 3GS likely has enough horsepower for a PS1 emulator but I sincerely doubt it does for a DC emulator and the iPhone 4 doesn't have CPU specs released so I can't comment on that one beyond that it is likely somewhat comparable to the Galaxy S. (also fixed up your message because it was hurting my brain) No, it won't happen because Apple has the most heavy handed, backwards policies when it comes to the app market. They will reject emulation apps as they have in the past. On the other hand if someone really wanted to making it available for use on jailbroken phones they can but I don't envision it happening.
are you an apple sheep? jailbreaking and cydia is NOT piracy besides the fact that nullDC is 100% free also there are 100% free apps in apples app store paying a yearly developer fee 100 bucks to apple is neither here nor there google dose the same thing for android but its only 25 bucks and on top of that 90+% of cydia apps are FREE @APE voiding the warranty is hardly an argument agensed something the geek has never truly cared about there warranty so yah any device able to run ps1 is more then able to run the dreamcast i do agree with you that iphone users are less geeky but its the jailbreakers that are more important shoot for the small nitch and you'll always have users that and its the smart phone with the largest install base the A4's speed is well known among the jailbreak community same as the ipad 1 ghz why do you think all the android devices are bumping it up to 1ghz when the high end ones were barely at 500 mhz
MHZ ratings don't mean much anymore, purely a marketing tool that you seem to still be biting into. As for it having the largest install base, perhaps but Apple is slipping as of late and I can only see that continuing. Besides the number of phones running Android is growing giving everyone their own personal flavor where as the iOS continues to be a one size fits all option with older iterations running slower and slower with every OS update (the 3G runs horribly under 4.0 and the 3GS is managing fairly well for now). Don't expect anyone to take Apple's phones seriously for any high end emulation especially once you look at the LG Star and the Optimus 2x which both blow the Captivate sitting here out of the water and back a few miles onto shore. Which also means the iPhone 4 is somewhere out in space and quickly flying into the sun when it concerns raw power. Though to claim Android based phones are hitting 1ghz now is to say it is because of the iPhone might be somewhat spot on but I think it's mainly due to the fact that Google pushed everyone ahead with the Nexus One and America finally got decent hardware from Asia where Japanese carriers had difficulty giving away iPhones for free. The Galaxy S line (which the Nexus S is based on) is already out of date in Asia but the question is how much do you want to spend in order to have a giant e-penis? http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/...rtphone-market-share-from-everyone-but-apple/ To bring it back on topic: this is on the Android, not iOS which is all that matters.
iPhone is pretty crippled for emulators (when using the official SDK) - no CoreSurface ya see. However, that said, some stuff is possible and this rather famous example did get through the approval process... http://www.manomio.com/index.php
Complete crap, as usual. Emulating a Dreamcast is much harder and more resource intensive than emulating a Playstation. This is blindingly obvious from the system requirements on PC emulators, how you've confused the two is a mystery.
Wow... That is stupid. Have you heard of Bleemcast? And that people think emulating is as simple as having more MHz... Hell, there's a hell of a difference between a stationary CPU and a laptop CPU, even if they look similar on paper. Not to mention the graphics card.
The Motarolla Atrix will be able to emulate stuff pretty easily because it has a dual core processor and 1gb of ram :drool:. I will be getting one of these babies this week and i will report back to you all and tell you how well it emulates stuff with its beastly specs.
I can tell you right now that it is beyond unlikely that it will do any better, applications have to be coded to take advantage of dual-core processors. I don't believe any current Android based emu has support for it at this time.
