Dont really follow the emulation scene .. has a DC emulator been made for the xbox yet?

.. or is that not possible.

No.

And will never happen because the XBOX lacks the power.

Although I heard a rumor that Chankast Devs manage to get a working port but what happened? Who knows.

I looked into it on Chankast's site a while back. I knew more information about it then but kinda forgot. I'm pretty sure they had at least something going though, but i'd say it's not worth getting your hopes up though because i'll doubt we'll ever see one. DC is really cheap find it on ebay, the VMUs are kinda cool too.

I don't think that the xbox has the processing power that would be needed to emulate a DC. Too bad my DC overheated and died.

I miss Soul Calibur and all of those lightgun games.

Buy another?

I probably will, when i get the money. I spent most of my extra cash on my xbox.

So how do I emulate a game using chankcast (or what ever its called?)

i know i need something called dc bios bin (I know i am not allowed to ask for that as well here

)

But how do i load a game up?

Like i own Shenmue and want to load that from the cd. Any help?

(i would just play it off my dreamcast but its busted. just keeps going to the menu screen)

Your drive cannot read original Dreamcast discs.

kidkash · « **Reply #6 on:** March 28, 2006, 08:23:00 AM »

so i'd have to make a backup of my Shenmue disc right?
how would one do that?

BanjoK · « **Reply #7 on:** March 28, 2006, 10:48:00 AM »

At the very least a coder's cable would be required. The cost of a coder's cable is around thirty dollars. It is a difficult and extremely long procedure to backup Dreamcast games. It would be a much better idea to just buy another Dreamcast. A Dreamcast would actually cost less than the coder's cable itself.

I think you're right.
I bought another copy of shenmue around 2 years ago. Thinking it was the copy I had. of course i soon found out it was my DC console.

Just playing Shenmue 2 over the last week and would love to play one again. man, shenmue are great games! I really hope Kizko is right that they have a plan (unconfirmed plan) of releasing all 3 shenmue games (1, 2 and 3) on a next gen platform ... its all rumors anyways. Kizko thought the infomation was reliable.

How come MS never got on to Sega about bringing shenmue 3 to the xbox. Did 2 do poor sales?

Shenmue II sold poorly on the Xbox.
