DX11 Plugin for DEmul v0.57 WIP

EmuCR:DEmulDX11 Plugin for DEmul v0.57 WIP is released. This is a DX11 Plugin with Internal Render Scaler for DEmul x86 v0.57. 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.

  7. @1 and @7

    I see both of you are using ATI cards, maybe that's the problem.

    Anyone with a Nvidia card like to try and see if you have the same problem.

  15. you know it would really be quite helpful if they told you you have to delete demul completely,then extract again,and add new plugin.

    These guys are NOT professional russian!

  22. lol dx9 IS DEAD people,its dead! get over your antiques already and update your hardware\OS

    they no work on dx9 anymore cause there is no more to get out of it.they have reached the max potential of it,and they wish to move on!! it isnt fair to hold back progress cause some people cant upgrade their pc's.

  23. @ 27 this is just a plugin update for Demul 0.5.7,which was released about a week ago.

    There are no Demul svn,its closed source.and closed source sucks,but that is the authors choice.

    BTW,this only work for DX11 cards

  30. no x64 version yet? x86 version is very slow.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Haha i need a new gfx card. With 2x scale i'm almost chocking my little OCed 5770 (gpu load to 95%).

    ReplyDelete
  32. no #45

    no dear, x64 version 0.55 achieves full 60 fps on a laptop. x86 version runs 52-56 fps. you prefer to waste your pc potential on unoptimized builds? feel free.

  33. #47 you need to eat some cookies. sugar makes the brain work better.

    it has nothing to do with MAME

    ReplyDelete
  34. ooops! "HRESULT=80070057" error
    Win7 64bit with a HD 6950.

    ReplyDelete
  35. 100% with what #35 said. All these whiners don't even know how to use proper grammar, and those who say it doesn't work know nothing about the systems they're running the emulator on.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Works perfectly fine on a Radeon HD 4870 on Win7 64-bit... so it's not an ATI problem, maybe shitty configuration.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Demul 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.
