    Default Null DC Emulation Error

    So I've tried to emulate THE RING: TERROR'S REALM (sry, had to use caps) on null dc. For some reason the game likes to crash, sometimes it crashes when I get into the title screen, sometimes it crashes after getting through the first cutscene and sometimes it crashes when you boot the RING program in the game. It never crashes during gameplay, cutscenes. It only crashes when going from gameplay to cutscene or backwards. Here's the console's screen:

    Spoiler warning:


    The emulator freezes, I can't reset the system or anything like that. I've also tried 2 different CDI files of the game, both freezes in the same time.

    Cheers.

    What revision of 1.0.4 are you using?

    The best is r150

    You can also try using Demul and or Retroarch using the dreamcast core "Reicast"

    Asides from using a different version of the emulator I can't see much helping with the issue as it is obviously and emulator issue not a disc image issue

    I've been using null dc July 2010 version. I've downloaded the r150 and it allowed me to go further in the game, unfortunately, another error appeared (it crashed when I was going into another level). Here's the console's screen:

    Demul is a more compatible emulator but uses a lot more resources making it a slower emulator (depending on your specs)
    Reicast is a faster emulator though if you can get it working that is (It's a core for Retroarch)

    I just use a Dreamcast though myself and only really used emulation as a testing platform

    I've tried Demul and the game works in stable 60FPS. It also loads faster and I could save the game. Problem solved I guess, now thanks to you I can play this crappy game.

    Thanks mate.
