I stumbled across PCECAST (PC Engine Emulator) and wanted to try it out on my Dreamcast.
The problem is the file is a 1ST_READ.BIN
It mentions putting files in /directory/ and such but I cannot seem to find a good reference of how this works with the BIN.
I searched google (found a bunch of dead links) and searched the forum here as well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Going to figure this out and report back, only emulator ive tried on DC was DreamSNES and didnt have much luck with speed issues.

Ok so, i went and downloaded this:

It's a .CDI file ready to burn, just burn it and it plays, really simple.

Thanks! I saw that one, unfortunately it doesn't include any CD rom ISOs.
The emulator I found supports ISOs, just need to figure out how to burn/use the 1ST_READ.BIN.

Re: Trying to figure out emulators on Dreamcast
as a heads up, don't get your hopes too high about PCE emulation on DC. Every game I tried ran horribly - either at a really slow framerate, or without sound, or would freeze up randomly.

Re: Trying to figure out emulators on Dreamcast
people are still using their Dreamcast for emulation? its 2013 your shoe can run emulators, go to good will and pick up a 6 year old computer for like $5

Re: Trying to figure out emulators on Dreamcast
I tried the shoe thing. Even asked the missus to try it out on her Stuart Weitzman Diamond Dream Stilettos. No dice, I'm afraid.Hazerd wrote:I think it's about the novelty of it, i personally try to run emulators on as many things as i can... now to try my shoeninjainspandex wrote:people are still using their Dreamcast for emulation? its 2013 your shoe can run emulators, go to good will and pick up a 6 year old computer for like $5

Re: Trying to figure out emulators on Dreamcast
The best way to run PCECast is with the SD adapter. I have it on mine and everything seems to run fine with no slow/dropped frames and no crashing.
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)
