NesterDC Version 3 and Nester Buddy

Posted on by adnans

Guess what? It’s finally out! I’ll cut to the chase right here and now:

  • The sound is close to 100% perfect.
  • The game menu selection screen has been improved, but there is now a limit of 2048 (with a 128 character limit per name) roms per cd.
  • The menu’s look much better now, thanks to the artwork of Dave Arnold, who is also the webmaster of nesterdc.emulation64.com/
  • Version 3 is noticably faster than Version 2.
  • There are new frame skip options.
  • If a game exists in the GAMES directory called GAME.NES, NesterDC will skip all intro menu’s and run that game. This will lead to single game cd’s that feel more like a real NES.
  • The source code has been released.

Also (yes folks, theres more), burnerO let out a program to help out with getting NesterDC from your computer onto your Dreamcast, Nester Buddy.

    NesterDC Buddy is a program to assist
    in the burning process of the
    Dreamcast emulator NesterDC. Since
    most of the steps for burning
    Dreamcast Cd’s are dos commands, I
    thought a nice little front end could
    be helpful.

You can get both NesterDC Version 3 and Nester Buddy locally, off our NesterDC page. Update:007Cheater re-uploaded Nester Buddy with the absent cygwin1.dll file, if you’ve been having trouble because of that file missing, download it again!
