NullDC crashes on boot

[Zorlon]

lol np made me chuckle to myself anyway

[xxmomoxpandaxx]

aww its still crashing

[Zorlon]

Let me check out the emu, not going to test any games so will just be booting the bios

Have you changed any of the settings in the emu??

EDIT Tested no settings got changed and used the bios I uploaded and linked in this thread

Booted fine

version is
nullDC_104_r50

If you changed any of the settings just delete nullDC.cfg and try running it again without changing anything and boot with nodisc

If you just download MSVCP100.dll and stuffed it into the NullDC folder that may be the issue

You require C++ 2010 for NullDC to run, that includes the above dll

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...ang=en&id=5555 < thats the link for C++ 2010

Edit: I'm off to bed now... if I have time I will check back in the morning

ok ill do this, and see what happens, thank you again for helping me

i still seem to be having trouble.....its still crashing at the start up when i try to play a game it crashes, even when i just try to start it up like normal with out a game it still crashes....maybe its just my computer...idk i'm at a total loss

[Zorlon]

Your comp specs are fine for NullDC

I would guess there is a software issue on your PC as to what IDK

Googled a lil for this error

3D ANALYZER (google it) seems to of fixed this for some with Intel Graphics chip sets (I didn't need it and well I'm on an intel chip set)

Updating DirectX drivers http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35 I know you have 11 and that is 9c but I fixed other issues the other day by installing that, it does not go over Direct X 11 or anything but will add DLL files not included with Direct X 11

Update your drivers for Video from the official web site for your laptop

well i updated them the day before yesturday and it said just now i have the most up to date direct x so i guess all thats left would be the 3d analyzer, so i need to download this and then see if that solves the issue?

[Zorlon]

Yes, though I didn't link that just google for it, I just couldn't find a home page for it from my quick search, but plenty of download links are found

[xxmomoxpandaxx]

ok so i have it now.....but how do i use it? im really sorry lol

[Zorlon]

I have no idea I don't need the thing

Edit:

http://www.theprohack.com/2009/03/us...s-without.html has a lil bit of info

Edit:

Quick test out of interest

Download and extract the thing to a seperate folder
run it
Hit the huge SELECT button and pick the NullDC exe
Change Vender ID and Device ID (examples are on the right)
Hit the huge RUN button

realy easy to run not sure why you needed to ask me

[xxmomoxpandaxx]

lol thank you! im really sorry lol im slow sometimes...oOMG it works!!!!! thank you!!!!!! two more questions and ill leave you alone sorry lol how do you configure controler thing so i can use my keyboard and where can i find a memcard file for nulldc?

[Zorlon]

yeah just use one of the examples
Vender ID 4318
Device ID 816

the above should do and make the software think you are using a GeForce Ti 4600 Graphics chip set

EDIT change Device ID to 816 for the GeForceFX 5900 Ultra the Ti 4600 crashes

You can save a batch file if you wish

[xxmomoxpandaxx]

ok thank you how can i get memcard file though?

[Zorlon]

I just use my actual dreamcast but for you...

[xxmomoxpandaxx]

omgsh thank you! *bows* you are like the best person ever! i was going crazy tryin to figure this all out lol

[Zorlon]

Just happy your finally there
