News NullDC emulator new updates!

[Kremiso]

What a curious news, do you remember NullDC?
It was almost a lone choice for a reliable Dreamcast emulation back then, expecially if on a potato PC.
Well, seems that is getting new updates!
I haven't tried it yet, this is the builds download page :

nullDC - Build Artifacts

i feel younger atm :)

The emu got a discord server:

Too bad it doesnt have a github.

Damn, I honestly forgot about NullDC. Haven't used that in a very long time.

Whoa. What the heck. this was the first viable DC emulator way back circa 2008 that ran most games at acceptable framerates on mid-range hardware of the time. Such a massive upgrade from Chankast.

To be fair, resurrecting it now is kinda pointless especially since the current premier emus started out as NullDC forks iirc, with the exception of DEmul which has been inactive for quite a while now itself. What are the devs gonna do, reinvent the wheel almost 20 years after the fact?

With that said, while I probably won't use NullDC in the foreseeable future I still wish the devs all the best in their endeavor.

Speaking of the devs - is it the original crew or is it some newcomers that got their hands on the source code and decided to rock n roll with it? I don't particularly mind either option but I think it would be that little bit more legitimate if it was the original team.

mostly original team :)

I'm surprised that this SEGA Dreamcast emulator called NullDC had a major new update!

Rewriting it in Rust is certainly a choice. Seems unnecessary for an emulator, but who am I to tell them what to do?
