[REQUEST] MPEG DVD Decoder Card Support

Post by shareware123 »

First of all, thank you so much for PCem! I would love to see MPEG DVD decoder card support in future releases for hardware such as Creative's Dxr3 and Realmagic Hollywood+. Keep up the great work!

Hello,

I remember that Gladstone requested Real Magic card support (topic opened nearly a year ago).
Emulating these cards seems not to be an easy task.

Regards.

Ah! Yes, I just found that thread. Hopefully someone looking for a challenge will attempt for future releases.

I find hard to guess why one would like to watch a DVD from an emulator...

It’s strictly for nostalgic reasons. I saved up for months to buy a Hollywood+ back in the day and think it would be fun to play around with it again.
