    Default Running Dreamcast emulator help

    I have nulldc and chankast but they do not run games! I downloaded games as cdi but none of the read them! chankast gives me the option of reading cdi but when i load a game it has an error message that that "Can't read TOC"

    Null dc does not even have an option to read anything other than chd.. Does anyone knows what can be causing them or send me a zip file with it pre-configured and ready to run

    Thanks

    Wow what version of NullDC are you using that does not support cdi disc images?? i ask because it was not that long back that I tested ever english Dreamcast *.cdi release with NullDC and the only games it has no support for are WinCE games for the Dreamcast

    Chankast is junk anyway there are only 2 Dreamcast emulators worth using and Chankast is not one of them

    EDIT I looked for the oldest version of NullDC I could find version 1.0.0 beta 1.6 supports cdi but not chd

    What you possibly have is the NullDC Naomi version that is not a Dreamcast emulator at all, it's a Naomi Arcade machine emulator, that is virtually a Dreamcast in an arcade machine but it's not the same it can't run Dreamcast chd's only Naomi chd's

    I uploaded the latest NullDC build a little while, you can find it in the stuck thread here by the name of "Sega System Files & Links"

    Thanks for your response..

    I'm running nullDC_100b1_6 it seems to only support bin and elf files. I also use windows 7 64 bit but not sure if this can affect the emulators. Please re-upload your latest version of nulldc because i went to the sega links and stuff thread and i did not see any null dc download link

    Thanks

    You are blind then and I also use Windows 7 64bit

    Try clicking on Normal Boot

    NullDC has always supported cdi disc images from the very first release

    As with the others in other sections this is just a start and can be added to
