Nice SweetFX setting Ziming.

I have an alternative profile I made if anyone is interested. I made this for use on a large LCD TV. I think the CRT effect actually makes the image look even less like a CRT screen when it's heavily overdone. This is a more subtle change, and really nice looking in action.

My screen resolution is at 1920x1080 for both the PC monitor and TV. The CRT effect will look incorrect if you are running NullDC at a different res. I'm also using x2 Supersampling, but if you struggle to run with it, just enable the FXAA option in the SweetFX.ini, this will do a nice job of sorting the remaining jaggies as I have already tweaked it to have a similar effect as the SSAA.

The images below look weird when not viewed at native scale. Please click for full-size.

This is great stuff!

Heads up, crashing has been seen on the supplemental release with the custom shenmue background.

I found that the settings are not defaulted and the puru puru plugin caused crashes on my machine. Not related to any driver or isolated issue. I fixed this by normalizing the settings.


EDIT. I just noticed someone brought this up before. Yes deleting the nullDC config fixes this problem.

Can someone compile nulldc1.6 beta to work on win8? Or not possible?

I think you meant nullDC 1.00 beta 1.6 which is a very old build of nullDC, I have that very build running fine on Win 8.1 X64 but it's not nearly as good as the latest nullDC in terms of features, performance, and bug fixes.

Thank you for this emulator, Masterchen! I'd say its the best version of nullDC, it definitely runs Shenmue better than another one that I got. Also, both Power Stone games run perfectly.

ok so I've downloaded the nulldc linked here since the date is newer I've extracted and installed the visual c++ from the msvc-something-or-other.dll issue I was having but now, I'm getting no notice as to what is wrong with the program and windows 8.1 hates doing anything fun, ](*,) , I have all the bin files as I found a full set in NullDC 1.0.4 r150.7z another older version I found which I'm thinking is the culprit but not to sure...oh and I have tried deleting the cfg file with no luck :-({|=

i get the same issue on windows 7. Still havent figured it out. Might be caused by just downloading a .dll instead of installing the entire library packages.

well I hope masterchan777 or someone that knows a bit more about emulators then I do can help me out. I'm gonna try to find some newer boot images and see if that fixes my issues. Also I didn't download just the missing .dll when i got that error I downloaded the http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 and it solved that missing .dll issue but still wont start I'm pretty sure it has to do with the bin files that arent from the same build but who knows... #-o

Wow. I love Brad's configuration. What a beautiful result.

I use Demul and I have the same configuration as Ziming. If you have Skies of Arcadia, try the config with "cartoon".

Hi, I'm new so firstly, thanks for keeping Shenmue alive with this compile of NullDC and the dojo in general. I've been lurking for a while...

I'm rying to get this version of NullDC to work:
1. I copied the BIOS files from my working version of NullDC into the data file
2. I deleted the config file
3. I updated all .DLL files
4. NullDC boots, no errors
5. But, when I locate the shenmue CDI file and try to boot I get:

Any ideas?

I'm currently trying to finish Shenmue before university term goes back. The glitch-ridden latest version of NullDC has been upsetting, especially the sound and inability to handle transparency of Ryu's hair and sprites... Will this recompile fix those issues? I'm playing on a slow ass Ultra Book so it's less than optimal... (Demul is out I'd assume).

Is there any newer version than nullDC 1.00 beta 1.6 that would support the stereoscopic plugin? Shenmue is actually so nice in real 3D, but this old nullDC version is a bit...hmmm buggy sometimes.

Great question.

I would also like to know the answer to this.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make your version of NullDC work with WINE on MacOSX... But unfortunately, it doesn't work at the first try :(
Do you have any idea about the problem ? Knowing that the original version of NullDC works.

Thank you,
Beuj

@masterchan777:

Thank you very much, this version is for me one that works best on Linux with Wine, it reduces significantly some very annoying blinking sprites on Shenmu and others Dreamcast games.
Could you tell us where could we consult the modifications you made in NullDC sources?

@Beuj:

Did you erase the config file nullDC.cfg?
Did you install d3dcompiler_43 with winetricks?
