HarissaDC 0.2.0, a Dreamcast emulator for the Xbox 360 (RGH / JTAG). The source code is now published in this repository (GNU GPL version 2 only).

Highlights

  • Windows CE games: Sega Rally 2 races run at about 30-45 fps, Resident Evil 2 plays its intro movies and reaches its title screen.
  • Atomiswave conversions (.zip / .7z of a GDI) start: Metal Slug 6, The King of Fighters XI and others.
  • Light gun: Ranger Mission, Sports Shooting USA, SEGA Clay Challenge and Extreme Hunting 2 get their gun by themselves (left stick to aim, RT or A to fire).
  • Sound: below full speed the sound is stretched instead of cut.
  • Game list: LT / RT jump to the previous / next letter, B marks a favourite (listed first); more box art found, with a glow of its colours.
  • Games drawn for an upright screen are turned automatically; movies (Resident Evil 3, GTA 2) play at full speed.

Fixed

  • The console froze in the second game started from the list (Crazy Taxi 2, Daytona USA).
  • Wacky Races stayed on a black screen after its intro; Dirty Pigskin Football's play windows showed no text.
  • GTA 2 stopped while loading its levels (it now runs at full speed); Resident Evil Code: Veronica no longer hangs on its memory card screen.

The full list is in CHANGELOG.md, the tested games in COMPATIBILITY.md.

Install

Extract the zip, copy the HarissaDC folder to the console (for example Hdd:\Emulators\HarissaDC), put your games in HarissaDC\games and launch default.xex. Updating from 0.1.0-dev: replace default.xex, your settings, save states and box art are kept.

Feedback

Open an issue with the game, its region and format, what happens (a photo or video helps) and the harissadc.log file from the emulator folder; a save state made just before the problem helps a lot.
