Hi guys,
I follow the guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXZe...&nohtml5=False
But after adding the dc_flash.bin and dc_bios.bin, I still get an error message. It gives me: 'unable to load drkPvr_Win32.dll plugin, errorlevel=-104'
Then it gives me a message about plugins and finishes with 'unable to load plugins, exitting.'
PLEASE help!! I need to play Shenmue II before III is released. :)
Do you have the entire DirectX redist installed and the VisuaL c++ runetimes?
That may be the issue.
Buy a Dreamcast
Shenmue does not emulate well
The game is very much worth playing just not via emulation yet
Shenmue and Shenmue II can be continued on, on the Dreamcast if the first Shenmue is PAL region
Dreamcasts do not need any sort of mod as long as it's a PAL/JAP console or a US console made before a certain date that I forget but model 0 and 1 should be ok anyway it was only mid and late modal 2 US consoles that had the exploit removed
P.S. Shenmue II is also an Xbox game
Yes that seems to be it. I have the DC start up screen. So good so far! Thanks!Quote:

Reicast is the continuation of NullDC by the same devs but was only on Mobile/ARM hardware , the Libretro/Retroarch team finally ported it so now its available on everything.
It is still "slightly" buggy but it has amazing progress. :)
Thanks for the responses guys.
I'm having truble playing games. When I try normal boot it takes me to the DC startup screen. And when I press 'play' it says 'please insert game disc'. Same when I try 'no disc'.
How do I get games to play?
Are you trying to run a GD Rom or a CDi?Quote:

gdi images must have the same regional settings as the console/emulator so if the game is NTSC-U then the regional set-up for the emulator or console must also be NTSC-U, you could possibly hack the region of GDI images though (Not sure if NullDC has region detect options, but it is the regional settings you need to look at regardless)
cdi images however are usually region free due to hacking the IP.bin file (it's normally a hidden file) so regional settings are not an issue
if a cdi image is not booting though and is either seen as a music CD or boots you back to the bios then the chances are it is not a self bootable disc aka not a Mil-CD that is not an issue with a real console if you use a boot CD (Utopia) but you can't use that with NullDC
Bootable CDI images will have 2 or more sessions, normally one session of the game data track and one session of cdda tracks (sessions and tracks are different things)
Hi guys, when I try to run RE3 is says:
'nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.'
I can get the Sega logo to come up. But then the above error message pops up.
If you wish to play RE3 I highly suggest Retroarch and the Mednafen PSX core as Dreamcast emulation isjust as bad if not worse than N64 emulation.
I'm trying to remember the various dependencies/issues with NullDC but I'm kinda having a mental block.
Thanks, I don't really wnt to play RE3 I just downloaded it as a test.
I really wantto play Shenmue 2 but it's Japanese. How do I change the region? :)
Wow I tried another game (Sonic SHuffle) and it actually worked! Guess RE3 was faulty.
Now there's two things I need to know how to do. Change region to Japanese and how to get my PS3 controller to work. I have DS3 but it won't work. Can anyone help? :)
Also I'm trying to find the ISO for Eternal Arcadia (Japanese version of Skies of Arcadia).
Okay I just figured out how to change region and have Shenmue 2 working!!
So now all I need is to get DS3 working, and also I'm not sure how to use memory cards.
MY DS3 doesn't detect my PS3 pad. I hear I might need to download drivers. What does that mean?
I was in the middle of playing Shenmue II and I got an error and it closed.
What are the chances of Sega releasing HD version on PSN? Seems I'll never get to play this game.

Any ideas?
NullDC is very old and buggy and the development of NullDC ended AGES ago as the authors decided Mobile/ARM hardware was the way to go and
resurrected the project under a new name, Reicast.
You are going to encounter many a error and other strange issues with NullDC.
The Retroarch devs are busy enhancing Reicast for actual PC usage (other systems too) and attempting to fix issues with it originally and carry overed issues from NullDC.
I might need a different emulator then.Quote:

Well I'm trying to get Demul to work, and I can get the tsartup screen but there is black specs everywhere, almost like static. I can move the cursor but it freezes. I'm trying to print screen but can't seem to.
How can I fix this?
Also how do I simply play games on it?
I can get Shenmue II to start but it just crashes. I'm at a loss.
In NullDC or Reicast?Quote:

Thanks. When I load Shenmue II it says 'no memory card' detected.Quote:

Firstly please stop double posting, there is an edit post option on the lower right of each of your posts
You can enable an option to show you the VMU screens that for testing is a good idea
Make sure you have 1 or more vmu images attached to the pad plugin then boot the bios up and make sure the vmu's are correctly formatted via the bios VMU options
Then try the game again
