I used Self Boot and the open source IP.BIN file which you'll need to grab from here:

http://www.dcemulation.com/dl/dl.php3?url=files/needed/Selfboot.exe

and here:

http://files.frashii.com/~sp00nz/Doom/files/ipfull.rar

All you need to do is install Self Boot, make a directory anywhere on your hard drive called amiga.

Open up the IPFULL.RAR and fine ip.bin and extract that to the root of the amiga folder. Open up the UAE4ALL Rar file, and extract 1st_read.bin to the root of the Amiga folder as well. Grab UAE4ALL here:

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/uae4all-24-09-2004.rar

Now place your Kickstart file into the root of the Amiga folder, and rename it to kick.rom, after which you need to copy any games you want to play into the root of the Amiga folder as well. I've not tested directories yet, it may or may not work, dunno.

Now that you have everything in its place, you'll need to open up Self Boot, tell it NO when it asks if you'll be using CD-Record or not, then select and highlight the Amgia directory, hit OK, then tell it you want to burn a Disc Juggler image, then when it says it is done (check for the DOS window that may not pop up to the top), you'll be able to burn that image in Disc Juggler or Alchohol, if neither work, then try the various Nero settings.

Anyhow, once all of this is said and done, you'll have a CD Image in the root of the Self Boot program directory which is in the root of C:\ by default.

If you image does not work, then like I said before, try burning it with different types of CD images, or try burning at a lower speed. At any rate, you should not have any trouble.

Well as you can see on the page, it is not quite full speed, and the sound it not quite perfect, but considering how fast this project and the Atari ST project came along, I would not doubt that it should be full speed in no time.

For now certain fine, like It Came From The Desert and what not, while others like Giana Sisters will no doubt need an update to be enjoyable.

how fast is a DC compared to a stock A500 w/1meg ram?

The Dreamcast was the first 128-bit console on the market and came from Sega. Stories of this console started appearing on several Internet sites on March 12th 1997. It was originally rumoured to be a 64-bit upgrade for the Sega Saturn, code-named Eclipse, but by March 31st, this story had changed and it was now believed that Sega was planning a completely new, separate console.

By June 1997 it was known that Sega had two different design specs for consideration to become the new console, one code-named Black Belt, and the other code-named Dural. They were almost identical apart from processors (Black Belt having an IBM/Motorola PowerPC 603e CPU with 3Dfx Voodoo2 graphics chipset and Dural having a Hitachi SH-4 CPU with NEC/Videologic PowerVR2 graphics chipset) and matched well with the specs of Sega's newest arcade board code-named NAOMI.



Features
• CPU: 128-Bit Hitachi SuperH4 RISC (360 Mips, 800MB/sec Data Throughput)
• CPU speed: 200MHz
• RAM: 26 Megabyte (16MB main/8MB video/2 MB sound)
• Sound: 64 Voice Yamaha Super Intelligent Sound Processor (45MHz, 40Mips, 64 voices, 16-bit 48KHz, 3D audio support)
• Graphics processor: NEC PowerVR Series II (100MHz, renders up to 3.5 million polygons/sec)
• MIPS: 360 Mips
• FLOPS: 1.4 Billion
• Polygons per second: 3 Million
• CD-ROM Drive: 12 speed Proprietary Yamaha GD-ROM (Gigabyte Disc)
• Stores up to 1.2 Gigabytes.
• Controller ports: 4
• Dimensions: 189mm x 195mm x 76mm (7 7/16" x 7 11/16" x 3")
• Weight: 1.9kg (4.4lbs)
• Internal Modem
• Broadband/Ethernet Capability

I've been using UAE4ALL on my Dreamcast since it came out.

In a nutshell, it blows. Big time.

It's somewhat slow compare to an A500. And don't even think about using Workbench. I made an ADF of my old Workbench 1.3 floppy and loaded up on UAE4ALL, and about 20 seconds after I started using it, the mouse screws up. This happened every time I loaded it up.

All in all, I've been waiting for a newer version to come out.

As for the ST emulator, it's awesome (but I still love Amiga, OK?). 100% speed and sound, the latest version fixed the contracts and clolrs and it loads Speedball 2!!!
