NullDC Dreamcast Opening via GameEX

**Savage** · October 12, 2008

Hi All.

Firstly thanks to everyone for previous help, I've got Null DC Naomi working perfectly except in Ikuruga (well thats only one I;ve tried) can;t get 2 player controls working?

Any way I have the DreamCast version of NullDC working through windows, full screen and controls configured....

But via GameEX it goes to a black screen and then nothing.

When Ctr-Alt-Del out I can see NullDC has been fired up but doesn't load the game.

This is my config from NulDC\

Nulldc NAOMI BUILD doesnt load CDI,GDI images . It loads LST files. Basicly a CUE sheet of sorts.

The NAOMI build only supports 1 player and in IKURIGA or whatever it loads sideways as its a vertical game.

Unless your really using the dreamcast version and that would make more since.

I would have to ask if other 2 player games work. Also in MAPLE Id make sure you have both ports enabled.

Can you plase clairfy what build your really using.

Also that command your using in gameex will never work.

Hi Thanks

Sorry two different issues, the Naomi version of NullDC works a treat via pc or GameEx except for the two player issue, I haven't tried other Naomi Games as my cab is a dedicated vertical set-up and can't find other vertical games..(I'll make another thread later for the Naomi One)

But I'm addressing the DreamCast version in this post, so yes NullDC DreamCast version, which works fine via PC, but cannot get it to load via GameEX.

That link you posted refers to loading DAEMON Tools first.

I really don't want another process loading also installing another APp, and can't see why this is needed when without using GameEX I can fire up NullDC (DreamCast Version) point to a CDI file and load up full screen and start playing.

Surely this is possible in GameEX???, ahh I think it's only if you want to load ISO files?

I think this may help me

Read a little further next time

EDIT: I went ahead and just pulled the text

GETTING NULL DC to LAUCH VIA GAMEEX commandline

Find the Nulldc.cfg in the INSTALL DIR. look for these tags

[imageReader]

PatchRegion=0

LoadDefaultImage=1

[nullDC]

Dynarec.Enabled=1

Dynarec.DoConstantPropagation=1

Dynarec.UnderclockFpu=0

Dreamcast.Cable=3

Fullscreen.Res_Y=480

Fullscreen.Refresh_Rate=60

Enhancements.MultiSampleCount=0

Enhancements.MultiSampleQuality=0

Enhancements.AspectRatioMode=1

NOW SAVE THE NULLDC CONFIG AND GO INTO THE GAMEEX CONFIG

(in gameex config)Command=nulldc_100b1_6.exe -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="[rompath]/[romfile]"

Note you will need to change the name of the EXE to the latest build.

Ahhh , Must of had a brain fart to miss that.

Have done it, minor problem, it seems to work can here the DreamCast Default loading sound, then the sound of Ikuruga start, but no display is working!..

Will Play with it some more.

Update Sorted:

For some reason fullscreen had reset t 0, changed back to 1 and all good..

Thank you very much for your help.... THis is truly a great forum... I'm glad a spent the money on this front end, simply rocks!...
