[General Questions and Answers] MEEgotlion!:
I'm not waiting for this answer.

I've been saving up to finally buy a quad-core Android drk II raziel now no longer want. It is not even giving a concrete answer to what will happen with nullDC, even in his blog ...

It's been almost a year of not knowing even a paltry response and the time comes to say he did not draw more. Damn it.

Playing on my smartphone Dreamcast was one of the reasons that I save money. Android Mupen64Plus Creator Edition is doing its part to emulate the great N64 without his money or donate non-perishable food and going great its new Alpha version on my Optimus One P500, with a reasonable speed. Drk thought was going to do yours too.

Otherwise it will continue to modify the Beta version and codes for at least we we relax and let's take a break, and others continue their work XD.

Would that not do the same with the emulator GC / Wii is creating right now. I wish ...

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Is Paul, seriously you do it?

I look forward to many off the final version of your N64 emulator on Android, and now you go out with this news.

drk is better to release the source code.
[General Questions and Answers] paulscode:
Yes, a lot of people have been asking me about porting NullDC, and I've decided I'll go ahead and tackle it if I can get my hands on the ARM versions of the x86 source code (I suck terribly at assembly, so without this part I won't take on the project).
[General Questions and Answers] MEEgotlion!:
We will have to aim a gun to his head ha!

If drk released the source code perhaps you would have to compete with the creator of emulators-oid or with the FPSE (PSX). But I know that you will do the best by comparing your work with your Mupen.

Any news about nullDC????

Any news about nullDC???? I think it will be a popular apps in the market. And thousand of people willing pay the fee to download it. So please tell the developer who continue to develop it. Anyway, for the FPS slow problem, I think the dual-core cpu's phone / tablet should be working as good as PC version.

No, no, no, no, no.
[General Questions and Answers] Selim873:
Okay, really? That's VERY irrational for a bribe. The Dreamcast didn't even cost $1k on release. I don't think the DC developer's kit itself was even that expensive. I found this comment on YouTube though.

He never posted a link though, the comment is 2 weeks old so I'll post a link if he doesn't, once I find it... That is, if he's telling the truth.
[General Questions and Answers] Trev186:
I will pay It and don't care as long as someone can take his source and roll with it..

Kickstarter to the rescue?

Drk|Raziel's original issue was with lack of funding from quality supporters, and that is just the kind of situation that Kickstarter is designed to solve.

For those of you who don't know Kickstarter.com is a Project/Business bootstrapping tool. You post a profile for your product, art project, business plan, etc. and solicit investors to contribute at custom support levels, each offering special perks (like priority delivery or extra goodies). One of the beauties of Kickstarter is that you specify the amount of money the project needs. You're only committed to the project if you reach your funding goal by the deadline. The project owner will never be forced to work under budget. Accordingly investors will only get charged for successfully funded projects.

Here's an example of an over the top funding, but just to show that mobile software gets it's fair share of love on Kickstarter:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hatsproductions/organ-trail-directors-cut

I don't want to bring up any false hope, but Paul has already pledged support if the ARM code base is made available to him, so that's one more developer assisting than drk had before. Plus exposure on kickstarter might bring more qualified devs knocking.

If anyone on this thread legitimately has a means of contacting drk|Raziel, we can put together a proposal message asking if he'd be interested in giving it a try.

The only thing he's got to lose is some effort in starting up the Kickstarter project page. He stands to gain the opportunity to pick up a project he was saddened to abandon and get paid for it.

P.S. If this does get going, I'm sure azrienoch and SassiBOB would love the opportunity to drum up support via XDA TV and their other youtube vlogs.

Any news about this?^^
[General Questions and Answers] Trev186:
No news on this and there hasn't been for a long time. Drkraziel quit the entire nulldc project.

I have tried contacting other members about releasing the source or continuing the project and they have said not at this time .

The emulator can run on android. In fact it could be full speed with he new hardware. The probelm is any dev who attempts this will have to port it from scratch based on one of the other nulldc ports which would take a lot of time and love.

Kinda sad cause the talented devs seem to he trying to one up each other right now by making better existing emulators as opposed to porting systems that are not out yet.

Though there is a sega cd and sega saturn emulator in process. I have the saturn

just messaged chankast developers see if they will create an android version hopefully they will and i have asked them if they will message me if they do if they do message me back i will let you's guys know
[General Questions and Answers] Trev186:
I already tried that as well never heard back. U should know that drkraziel also worked on that project and that Nulldc was an offshoot from chankfast.

The only other dreamcast dev I have heard from is for the demul dreamcast emulator . They said they would work with any dev interested in porting it but they themselves do not have an android device

[General Questions and Answers] paulscode:
I've been trying to get ahold of DrkRziel but haven't had much luck. I've also been reaching out to other people who have been involved in the project as well. I recently got my hands on the Alpha-0.1 build (don't ask me for it though.. I shouldn't even have it myself, because the first two bullets in the README are "Don't Leak This").

I'll keep working on trying to get this project back to life. If I am able to engage DrkRziel at some point, I'll offer to pay him $2k+ up front just for the code in its current form (however messy), plus any donations I get for the project. If anyone is able to get in touch with him, please pass that information along. I don't know if he is the type to be motivated by money, but the offer is there if he wants it.
[General Questions and Answers] Trev186:
Paul

Pm me and we can talk. I have managed to get a hold of a few people who can contact drkraziel in the past.

No idea what his motivations are ....seems he has disappeared from the emu community altogether

Another option may be the demul emulation team. They said they would work with any dev who wanted to make a port but did not have an android phone themselves
[General Questions and Answers] paulscode:
Thanks, Trev. DrkRziel hasn't completely disappeared from the emu community from what I can tell. In fact, he has committed changes to the nulldc repository as recently as last week. He does seem to have abandoned nulldce, though. I'd guess the difficulty of contacting him is simply because so many people are trying to talk to him (I have a similar problem with my Mupen64Plus AE project, and it isn't even close to as popular as nulldc.. it can be a real challenge to keep up with all the emails and PMs I get)

BTW, is demul open source? They have a sourceforge page, but there is nothing uploaded to it (similar to nulldce). I suppose I'd need to get in touch with the devs.

[General Questions and Answers] archangeles:
Whats the difference in CPU architecture between our Androids and the dreamcasts?
[General Questions and Answers] paulscode:
The Dreamcast has a 200 MHz SH-4 (SuperH architecture was also used in the Sega Saturn, although the SH-4 is a couple generations more advanced and has a FPU). It has the PowerVR2 CLX2 (100MPixel/s) for its GPU. And it has the Yamaha AICA (ARM 45MHz) audio processor with MIDI support.

It's difficult to compare that to "Androids" in general, since Android runs on a wide range of architectures (ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7, MIPS, x86, ...), speeds (500MHz single-core, 1.5GHz dual-core, ...), GPUs, etc. Probably the best way to compare would be to see what are the most likely minimum requirements to emulate the Dreamcast effectively.

The general "rule-of-thumb" for emulators is the host system must have a bare minimum of 5 times the processing power of the system being emulated. (there are exceptions both ways depending on many factors, but this is a good starting place). So first off, you'd need a CPU running at least 1Ghz with a powerful FPU. Then you'd need a GPU that can do at least 500 MPixel/s (difficult to compare of course, since modern processors measure their capabilities differently). And finally, for the audio you'd need 225 MHz with MIDI support. Note that any of these capabilities, such as MIDI synthesis, could be off-loaded to the CPU as well (some would probably have to), at the cost of requiring a higher base CPU clock-speed. And of course we are talking the "best optimized" scenario here (which can take a long time to achieve)

So with all that considered, which Android phones would fit the bill? Well the ARMv7 1Ghz processor (Scorpion, OMAP 3630, etc) are quite common in Android phones, as are GPUs capable of 500 MPixel/s (Adreno 205, PowerVR SGX530, etc). These include models like the Droid X, Xperia Play, and dozens of others. These would be the "bare minimum" devices, and would likely need a lot of tweaking to make games playable (disabling audio, frame-skipping, etc). More modern devices would most likely fare a lot better.

I kind of went into a "big picture" type of comparison here, while your question was specifically about the similarity of architectures, so let me touch on that real quick. Assuming we are talking about ARM devices, the Dreamcast CPU's architecture (SuperH) is in the same family of RISC architectures (along with MIPS, PowerPC, SPARC, etc). However it is not identical. Being close, I would think that writing a dynarec to emulate SH-4 on ARMv7 would be "easier" than between two different families of CPU architectures, but I have absolutely zero experience programming in assembly language (which is why I need the NullDCe source), so I can't really answer that with any certainty. All I can say is that Drk's alpha build runs pretty smooth on my Galaxy Nexus (although it has no audio, so just basing that on how it looks visually). It's a tad laggy on my Droid X, but still playable.
[General Questions and Answers] allandacruz:
Good

Great explanation Paul, but tell us: Now, at moment, what is the problem, or problems, to make this project go straight ahead ?
[General Questions and Answers] paulscode:
The only problem, from my standpoint, is that I am useless when it comes to assembly language. I would need an ARM dynarec already written and tested that I could just drop into the source code so I could focus on other parts of the emulator. The only such dynarec that I know of is Drk's that he wrote for NullDCe, and he has not released the source code. While this would be the fastest way to seeing a DC emulator for Android, it isn't the only way. Even if Drk doesn't ever release the source, there are some other DC emulator projects out there in much more active development, so someone is bound to write an ARM dynarec at some point, and I'll jump on board at that point to help bring it to Android.
[General Questions and Answers] archangeles:
I'm i noob at best when it comes to this so please educate me if i speak nonsense, but would it be possible to decompile the apk to take what you need?
[General Questions and Answers] paulscode:
No. Decompiling can be used to get a lot of resources and Java code, but isn't so good at getting native code.
[General Questions and Answers] HD2MAX:
Thanks and good luck paul With This project, this is the next evolutive step on the emulation on android

hopefully you get the source, or contact dkr to work together if necessary, and hopefully someone who knows assembler can help out with the dynarec

The hardware starts to be very strong, is the best time to carry out this project without a doubt.

Good luck paul, has our full support!

Wow, this emulator just got leaked and its being seen almost EVERYWHERE!

This emulator is going places, for an alpha its doing pretty awesome for games like Shenmue, Crazy Taxi and Power Stone. They are impressively fast. Drk|raziel deserves plenty of props. However, I know Paul will make this emulator phenomenal. I can't wait for when it uses .cdi (.gdi = 1.10GB), the ability of saving, the improvement of the on screen buttons and the ability to store more than one rom and choose from a selection.

Hi,

This is another boot animation for phones with 320x480 resolution such as ours.

To be frank, I don't know who is the original creator of this boot animation, since there are many variations out there.

Perhaps GchildT is the original creator; his thread is here.

Anyway, since I don't like black 'empty' background, I added 'starry night' background and optimized images to 320x480 to fit on our phone.

Hope you like it.

I don't think it is necessary, but to be safe, do nand backup before doing following steps:

get attached file

reboot to recovery, choose 'Mounts', 'Mount /system', and 'Mount /data'

connect phone with your pc

on your pc, open command prompt and check where original file 'bootanimation.zip' is located

try 'adb shell ls /system/media/bootanimation.zip' or 'adb shell ls /data/local/bootanimation.zip'

type 'adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media' if original bootanimation.zip is in directory '/system/media'

otherwise, type 'adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local' if original bootanimation.zip is in directory '/data/local'

reboot

Attached file is not flashable!!!
