[[nullDC]] is an open-source [[Sega Dreamcast emulators|Dreamcast]] and Naomi emulator.
'''nullDC''' is an open-source [[Sega Dreamcast emulators|Dreamcast]] and Naomi emulator. It was superseded by its fork [[reicast]] (dead) and later by [[Flycast]] (still alive). Long inactive, nullDC has been revived in 2025 having polyfilled large parts of the codebase from devcast/[[reicast]] transcribed to Rust (with still a lot of code remaining to be updated for parity). Unlike Flycast and [[Redream]] focusing on speed, the author's stated intention is to focus on accuracy hence why he says he will focus on desktop builds without mobile versions beyond maybe for [[tvOS]].

# nullDC doesn't recognize your 360/PS3 controller? Go to Options -> Select Plugins... and change Input plugin to PuruPuru Dreamcast Controller. Then, go to Options -> Maple -> Port X -> Config keys... and select Xinput in Controller Type.

# nullDC has an option for rumble. Once the controller is set up, It can be found in Options -> Maple -> Port X -> Subdevice 2 -> Attach Puru Puru Pak [XInput]. This will allow you to replicate the rumble pak for your controller. (If the controller includes rumble, and if the game includes rumble.)

# If you are playing a game and there is a problem displaying things onscreen, or they are missing. It is most likely a problem with the "Z Buffer Mode" which can be found in Options -> PowerVR -> Z Buffer Mode. Set it to "D24FS8" (2nd option) and the problem with displaying the item should be fixed. (An example of this, is the small watch icon in Shenmue not displaying. By changing the Z Buffer Mode to "D24FS8" it should fix this.)
