DEmul v0.57 WIP is released. DEmul is a Sega Dreamcast(DC) emulator able to play commercial games.
DEmul DEmul v0.57 WIP changelog:
| There is not so much visible changes for more than year of work, but much more internal changes, overall compatibility and graphics quality. First of all, the new SH4 core now have full MMU support for interpreter/dynarec modes, which is slightly improved compatibility and allow to run most of the WinCE games fast enough to play. Second significant change is that GPU subsystem now migrated to the DX11 interface (currently DX10-capable GPU is enough). From this version old DX9 GPU plugins (DXv3 and DXLegacy) are obsolete, although they are still supported and included in current package. Further development of the DX9 plugins is stopped for now. And finally overall interface and usability changes. Emulator is now support 7zip romsets for the bioses and arcade systems, most of the protection/encryption formats for the arcade systems, many many new romsets added during last year and many previously unsupported games or game controllers now are supported. The rest is the sound subsystem have some bug fixes, improving known problems. And yes, totally forgot about... ;) Now we have our proprietary netplay plugin, too new to work fine, and totally untested, so you are welcome to try. No, model 3 emulation still in the same state (except some overall graphics and compatibility improvements, made previously) all work currently suspended in favor to much more active supermodel emulator. Keep up good work, Bart! ;) Not much work was done on the Naomi 2 subsystem too, there is no significant changes, just a little bit of fixes. DX11 support for Naomi 2 still imperfect and have some known issues, don't bother with that. Changelist: - AICA: fixed sound - CORE: added 7zip support for roms - CORE: added mmu support for dynarec - CORE: fixed maple timers - CORE: fixed memcards in WinCE - CORE: fixed save states - CORE: new sh4/ppc cores, improvements, bugfixes - CORE: removed redundant gpu/spu multi threading - GDR: added support for filenames with spaces to GDI - GDR: fixed gdrImage plugin - GDR: fixed thread mode - GDR: removed redundant gdrDemul plugin - GPU: fixed DX3 z-buffer bug - GPU: new DX11 plugin featured order-independency transparency - GPU: new DX11 object list multi-layered render simulation - GPU: new DX11 translucent modifiers, aspect ratio support with hotkeys - GPU: new DX11 two-pass postfilters, texture conversion on the GPU - GUI: new VMS manager merged with maple devices, menu rearranging - MODEL3: added little improvements, still no sound, not a priority since supermodel is here ;) - NAOMI: added M1/M2/M3/M4 decompression implementation, now all protections are emulated (thanks to Adnreas Naive, Deunan Knute, MAME and DU teams) - NAOMI: added jvs standart touchscreen emulation (Touch De Uno! 2) - NET: new proprietary network plugin added - VMS: added default vms file to all ports |

for a year of work it is still one of the biggest pieces of shit in emulator history
ReplyDeletedevs give up on this waste of time it is completely useless
the only fanboys to like this will be the one with their ghetto pc who want to play the cave games
i think i will stick with mame and makeron
one of the best and faster arcade emulator, thank you to all the Demul team, please continue your work (this message frome Rome, Italy)
DeleteNecta finalmente un italiano che usa questi aggeggi, mi potresti aiutare? non trovo il plugin dxv3, grazie
DeleteNecta finalmente un italiano che usa questi aggeggi, mi potresti aiutare? non trovo il plugin dxv3, grazie
DeleteThe only differents i saw was in virtual fighter 4 series which were much faster and more beautiful but still has the stage slowdown problewm :(
ReplyDeletejust tried it and still to many problems with it
ReplyDeletehey where is pedobear ???
he will be cumming in his pants over this release
lets please stop bashing the demul team at least they are giving up on their emulator unlike the xbox emulator......let them continue to get it correct even if slow momentum.....it is WIP so lets just chill at least they released one officially...thanx devs
ReplyDeletecommenters 1-5: go on with your attention-seeking...
ReplyDeleteSee ? Stop complaining.. They did and be patient!
ReplyDeletemodel 3 emulation still in the same
ReplyDeleteNot much work was done on the Naomi 2
WTF !!!!!!!
how about making it open source so us english and americans can show the russians how to pragram
please take this shitty emulator and flush it down the toilet
pedobear smirks at young kids 8=====D--
is this any differant from the leaked version
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Despite all of the negative remarks, thank you for your contributions to the Dreamcast emulation and keep on with your developments because some of us DO appreciate your hard work!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how the fix this error?
ReplyDeleteReserve Memory
Can't reserve 384 Mbytes of memory for the romset
@ #12: Buy more RAM!
ReplyDeleteMight want to remove the pics of sh3 games, unless you want to fan the flames.
ReplyDeleteWHERE IS CAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
ReplyDeleteCAVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
ReplyDeleteThe graphics filters with dx11 plugin are really great, especialy for games like metal slug 6, kofxi,etc
ReplyDeleteThank you Demul team.Im sure you guys dont take the comments on this site serious,,if you even know this site exists.
ReplyDeletelol@ all the people screaming CAVE CAVE!! what are you guys to stipid to compile your own MAME builds with cave sh 3 enabled? o too bad...boo hoo no cave for you
ReplyDeleteyea yea, english and american guys. go and show how to code by making nullDC run winCE games and maybe your comment would not be piece shit like it now
ReplyDeleteDemul ran the Cave SH3 games a lot better than MAME did due to various alternate methods in emulation. It sucks that it's not in and those who want to emulate them are resorted to a dodgy old MAME release whose sources have been forced underground, but know that it's not in now because of the (private) C&D letter from Cave which the devs respected even though they weren't directly targeted.
ReplyDeleteYeah finally, Win CE games are starting to show signs of life. In other words, now we can dream of playing Sega Rally 2 in the future :D.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else notice that with DX11 even though you put 1920x1080, the Dreamcast graphics still look like its renedered at 640x480?
ReplyDeleteUhh where is the option to run Cave games...
ReplyDeletebest dreamcast emulator ever thank you to all you sexy devs
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for the official 0.57 release, but...
ReplyDeleteIn fullscreen, there's a lot of flickering and glitches, even though most of those glitches does not appear in window mode. (And that didn't happen in 0.56.) I've tested Demolish Fist, Rumble Fish 1 & 2, Knights of Valour: Seven Spirits and Hokuto no Ken (which crashes the emulator before intro). Filtering option is useless, since there's no way to select any filters. This version of demul is not much better than the leaked one, and it's quite unstable, as well.
Im not Happy at all and i really hope that this Emulator Project will be DISCONTINUED !!! Sorry its really dissapointing... so many Tease and so small Content in v0.5.7 :(
ReplyDeleteHope there will be a HACK with CAVE SH-3 Support so we can see how really good it was !!!
>>> R.I.P. DEMUL <<<
not happy,let see this have the biggest compatibility list for dreamcast games in fact lets see
DeleteRussian coders demul dreamcast emulation increased to 90% of dreamcastgames catalog for version 057 (it can be almost 98% but im talking about perfectly emulated) the only dreamcast emulator with netplay and shader filters, closed source.
American coders Nulldc dreamcast emulation increased emulation to 58% of dreamcast games catalog for version 104 (it can be almost 65% but im talking about perfectly emulated) dont have netplay open source.
Nulldc Naomi too troublesome to emulate 1 rom.
Demul Naomi,Naomi 2 just pick and play it have the higher compatibility in 057
Demul Atomiswave increased compatibility and a bigger rom list.
Model 3 postponed.
Cave SH3 emulation removed due to complains from Cave (Mame received a worst letter removed all Cave drivers since release 0.145)
As i see in 056 and 057 the differences are quite obvious but yeah someone leaked the WIP and they say is not much better,its unstable but as the name implies is WIP it will keep changing but at least this is more stable than NullDC and i dont need 3 different emulator to play the games from sega and with this you dont need to worry about the extenion of the ISO because works with cdi nrg mds gdi and with the last nulldc you can barely load the cdi iso because the rest are just errors if there is one emulator dead that would be Null DC
>>> R.I.P. Null DC <<< 21/08/2011
After googling things up i found something interesting:
ReplyDeleteThe company "Cave" sended a letter to the MAME developers and possibly the Demul developers to stop emulating their games, so new versions of MAME don't play Cave games anymore and maybe that's why Demul removed the option to play Cave games too...
Official builds of MAME played Cave games kinda slow and with no sound (i expected that from the MAME team)
So the only way to play Cave games now is finding special builds of MAME that are unoficially supported by the MAME team, there are a couple of builds but i found the fastest one.
For anyone who wants to play Cave games google "mame_slowpoke_edition" more info here:
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35519&start=1440
Cave games runs pretty fast on that MAME special build on my core 2 duo 2.6 Ghz
Note: If the game is telling you that you are missing some ROM or CHD fear not, you just need to rename the games to work, here's an example:
Mushihime-Sama ----------> mushisama.zip
Mushihime Sama Futari Ver 1.5 ---> futari15a.zip
EspGaluda 2 -------------> espgal2.zip
Have fun.
@28 thanks for your valuable findings, this information was useful.
ReplyDeleteBTW i tried this new Demul version and it's somewhat faster than the previous one, too bad Naomi 1 & 2 support was rather low, but the dreamcast feels faster.
At least Demul v0.57 turned out to be a decent Dreamcast emulator, games are finally playable.
Now expect another year or two of cock teasing again...
Ну вот на конец-то все успокоились ))Хотели выпустить wip позже по передумали все таки многие хотят опробовать новый DEmul.

#31 let's hope not.
ReplyDeleteWHARGARRBLE
ReplyDeleteis demul 0.57 WIP is no demul 0.57 final version?
ReplyDeleteWhich is the way to exit from the fullscreen mode?
ReplyDelete@38
ReplyDeleteALT+F4 and then FORMAT C: !
are you stupid or something like that?!? biggest human failure ive ever seen :)
There is no working way to exit from the fullscreen in this demul's version.
ReplyDeleteAlt + enter causes a crash of the emulator, worst version ever.
to #40: the dx11 plugin works fine.
ReplyDelete64 bit version??
ReplyDelete@#13
ReplyDeleteI have plenty of ram: 2 Gig DDR2, 3 Gig of virtual memory & 512 MB on the GFX card and I still get this error:
Reserve Memory
Can't reserve 384 Mbytes of memory for the romset
LOL! I'm sorry guys but this emulator is indeed a BIG got damned steaming pile of shit. It doesn't even deserve a thumbs down rather the middle finger would do just nicely. :)
If anyone can provide with a solution, I would appreciate it.
So SH3 was removed out of spite.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the developers are just as childish as some of the retards that post here.
hokuto no ken crash after insert coin please help
ReplyDeleteMan I have been waiting for this for so long. I'm not being ungrateful, but am rather disapponted. While some graphical glitches have been fixed in some games, the emulator seems much slower and unstable. The new dx11 plugin is unstable too and is rather slow. Full screen mode is the same as in leaked beta, and where's the ogl plugin???
ReplyDeleteAnd cripes, how much fucking horsepower do you need to run Metal Slug 6 at full speeds? My Sandy Bridge quad core and 1 gb 5770 cant even run it full speed. This should of been optomized more before being released.
#48 disable option list sorting
ReplyDelete#48 no it's not go to the settings and change too directx11 will work.
ReplyDelete#50 and #52
ReplyDeletedo you guys know why metal slug 6, and model 3 games crash?
For model 3 stick with supermodel. It's WAY further along.
ReplyDeleteHey guys. I find it amusing that the other news' comment sections are more or less empty yet every piece of news associated with Demul is like live chat. Wow.
ReplyDeleteIs there some sort of background story that I am unaware of? Who are all these people? What's happening here? I mean are the developers offended someone personally?
Someone here even hopes that the project will be abandoned. Seriously dude? Well I hope you'll get cancer and die. Too bad it's not gonna happen. Why the hell do you care about it so much? Don't like this emulation project? Well don't read the news about it. It's not that they're forcing you to use it or to pay money. Go for MAME or something. Who are you to forbid people to do what they are doing?
In other words if you don't like it then you shouldn't give a fuck about it. It just THAT simple.
#53
ReplyDeletemetal slug 6 no idea.
model 3 working in Supermodel SVN r260
(sorry my bad english)
#50 #52
ReplyDeletethank you for the help
there is a hack floating around from TMG here some instructions out of their NFO :
ReplyDelete"
Extract the application and use "demul_0.5.7-loader.exe" to start.
(if a Error occurs about "caveSH3.dll cant be launched..." then please Download the newest "Visual C++ 2010 SP1" for your OS !!!)
"
no i dont know where to get it yet :(
#53 Metal Slug 6 works perfect on directx11
ReplyDeleteModel 3 games, all of them not working will crash demul.exe.
#59
ReplyDeletewich metal slug 6 romset are you using? any region in particular?
There are rumors Demul 0.5.8 WIP will be released for x86/x64 for Windows 8.
ReplyDeleteLater this year...
@55:
ReplyDeleteBasically the world is full of little spoiled brats that think the world owes them something. There is just an over-abundance of useless pieces of shit that stay at home with no girlfriend and jerk off to high framerates of emulated games and go limp when there is texture flicker.
This site is jokes. All these cunts that can barely speak english coming on here and trying to insult the devs. No one knows what the fuck you are saying guys. Learn english. Google translate doesn't really cut it. LOL
ReplyDelete@63:
ReplyDeleteKeep trying on the English. What you wrote works but isn't quite right. Much like All emulation.
@ Those of you who want this project to go away... close your eyes and poof it's gone. You can finally be happy. Now go away.
@ Those who want to whine about this release, you can always go back to 5.6 and forget this release ever happened. Happy now? Good, Now go away.
@ Demul Team thanks for your efforts. I for 1 appreciate your efforts. Please keep working at it. Obviously there is more work to be done here and I would love to see what's next!!!
#64
ReplyDeleteI hope all set roms are now finish, with that they can concentrate on the fixing games.
Only the bad thing is the jump charater on the controlers we can´t jump vertically on xbox360 controller, the rest is fine, only model3 games not working,
"For the trools, well STFU and play supermodel 3"
Nice Job Demul!
The atomiswave engine is still suffering from capping games at 30 fps when they should be at 60.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how people are saying MS 6 works perfectly when it runs on only half the framerate is should?
When makaron supports Atomiswave, people will drop this emu like a bad habit.
ReplyDeleteSo where's the other Atomiswave emulator?...Oh thats right, there is no other. But you can "drop" yourself from this forum anyway. No one will miss you.
Deletefixed SA2 control problem?
ReplyDelete@69 from 64
ReplyDeleteDude, two words ... anger management.
@ 69 and the rest of the whiners
Yeah, it's been 17 months since 5.6 was released. This pet project OF SOMEONE ELSE, doesn't meet with your approval or expectations?!?! How terrible for you. Demul dev's get your act together. The community that USES the product that you develop with your time has spoken.
Are you all really that enabled? What a bunch of ingrates.
Edit #75
ReplyDeletereplace "enabled" with "entitled"

ReplyDeletereplace "whiners" with "winners"
The strangest thing happened to me - until a couple of days ago, I could run this version, but out of the blue, it started to report: "Can't reserve 384 Mbytes of memory for the romset" (as Anonymus #12 said). I have 4GB of RAM - how come that it's not enough all of the sudden? Can anybody assume what might be the problem? :(
ReplyDeleteSome of the comments people posted are unbelievable. How ungrateful. Thanks to the Demul team for all their hard work.
ReplyDeleteI played Demolish Fist on a Kaillera server with a friend a few nights ago and it worked perfectly. It's pretty cool to be able to play Atomiswave games online.
Can you save in Shenmue PAL with this?
ReplyDeleteSave states are not working in this version. It worked on version 0.5.6. When I tried to load the state, the emulator freezes. Anyone getting the same problem?
ReplyDeleteAll negative comments should be barred from this site.There's a fine line between constructive criticism and being bashful-look it up. It's funny how all these self-proclamed anonymous nobodies with a strict vocabulary base of four letter words complain have it because the have absolutely no competitence in developing their own emulator. Demul has by far surpassed SH-4 machine emulation among the others: DC, NAOMI1, NAOMI2, Atomiswave, and Cave with JAMMA and full save state capabilty-what other emulator has that? Am I the only who noticed the atomiswave JAMMA emulation for faster than speed was implimented? Sound has also greatly improved, and I can now close the program without the task force. Bottom line, there are many who do appreciate charitable hard work put into these programs, so all you whiny helpless baby birds take your squawking elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteMore than half of the comments bitching and whining about a free emulator... heck, this is an emlator for a system that was discontinued 11 years ago, so why are these pages full of little immature kids who weren't even around back then, or at least not old enough to know about it?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I must admit that the comments are very amusing at the same time. Here are some little shits throwing swears and insults and threats in a comments section, who couldn't program a basic tool let alone an emulator (otherwise they would code their own, or at least appreciate the efforts), ACTUALLY FEELING SUPERIOR to a bunch of programmers who wrote an emulator IN THEIR SPARE TIME besides work, AS A HOBBY, and RELEASING IT FOR FREE TO THE PUBLIC out of sheer goodwill!
If this ungrateful, demanding "the world owes me everything", aggressive, disrespectful bull is representative of the next generation that our generation has been breeding, then good night Western civilisation, nice knowing ya.
I don't think its really a sense of entitlement that is the problem. The problem here is devs deliberately teasing users (with SH3 support) then blowing them off.
ReplyDeleteIts no biggie. SH3-enabled, fully-functioning MAME builds are freely available. Demul will likely not sustain a loyal future user base by treating people like this, and their work will simply fall by the wayside.
That figures, you STILL don't get it. They never had to release anything. Loyalty was never an obligation. Their work will continue to be appreciated by those who have dignity and respect. Bottomfeeders will continue to post senseless remarks that won't effect anything. What was it that you did so wonderful that they owe you their time and labor again? I somehow missed that.
ReplyDeleteDan, I'm afraid though such remarks can in fact have an effect—on the programmers. I think they are aware that these spoiled snotty brats are a (very vocal) minority that doesn't matter, but I imagine it can still be very frustrating to read. And even if, like most emulation programmers, they do it mostly because they enjoy it, they might start asking themselves why they bother even releasing their work publicly, if they get swamped with insults for it. Maybe this is why they stopped releasing for a while in the first place.
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't understand is why it is so hard to NOT read news and post shit about a free program you're not interested in. If you think DEmul is so bad, just go somewhere else, what are you even doing here? It's like those damn music nazis that can't go listen to music *they* enjoy, but have to keep going on and on about how bad they think *that* music is, and how everyone who listens to it is stupid, yada yada yada... you know the type.
But no. Seeing as these dudes probably don't go around posting shit about every free software or service on the Internet that they don't like, the sense of entitlement is still the better explanation. They're not disinterested in DEmul, and they don't think it's bad. They wanted to see it improved, and because they felt the developers kept something from them (something they didn't earn, didn't contribute to and didn't pay for), they got all sulky and pissed.
Too bad "these dudes" weren't even worth the three paragraphs you spent speaking about them. It pains me to see that.
DeleteRather the second and third paragraph. One word would have done enough...PITIFUL.
DeleteTo all of you who have the "Reserve Memory: Can't reserve 384 Mbytes of memory for the romset" message. It's most probably caused by Comodo Antivirus, Firewall or Defense. It is in my case and several other people.
ReplyDeleteDemul is the best . Thank you team demul you make my day .playing now shenmue 1 and it works PERFECTLY even arcade games within shenmue (Space harrier and Hang on) work like charm even nulldc cannt run both only hang on .also no trancparency bug with ryo's head .really great work i cannt understand those ungrateful people .show some RESPECT.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS!!
ReplyDeleteerro run win 8?? gpu
ReplyDeleteThe best emulator for dreamcast,naomi,naomi2,atomiswave is almost perfect.
ReplyDelete>>> R.I.P. Null DC <<<21/08/2011 104 r149
Demul the only emulator still being developed nd the only one with shader filter and netplay support.
