since the dev inolen is not interested in creating a proper interface for the redream dreacast emulator can you include it as part of yours?

The Emulator is not mature enough to be included in BizHawk at the moment. Due it still being in Beta Status. BizHawk is not just a GUI for Emulators. It is a multi-emulator system. Porting the Emulator into BizHawk is what would normally be done.

edit 2023-02: Just noticed the copy of redream on GitHub. It's super old but is GPL-licensed. There's no current source available. I think one of the contributors should try a claim under the source availability clause and get it published. Also, the Reicast project is defunct and the site is down (I've replaced the link). Flycast native rerecording tracked as flyinghead/flycast#505.

@YoshiRulz your link is dead, do you know what it was?

Sappharad commented 4 years ago

Redream went closed source back in 2018, that isn't even an option anymore. I don't know what @YoshiRulz list contained, but basically every open source Dreamcast emulator actively developed now originated from nullDC.

There's reicast, which initially targeted mobile phones, and flycast which forked from that and added Vulkan support among other things: https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator https://github.com/libretro/flycast/commits/master

Neither is perfect and redream supposedly is better than it was when this issue was originally created but the author of that decided money was more important than working with others.

Fixed the link and removed the OSS checkmark from redream. Is Reicast available for Windows? I can't find the download if so.

So BizHawk cannot play Dreamcast roms at the moment. Am I correct?

YoshiRulz commented 1 year ago

That's right.

ghost commented 1 year ago

That's right.

Thank you.
