The Dreamcast is a sixth-generation console released by Sega in November 1998 in Japan and later in 1999 in other territories. Naomi, an arcade system board similar to the Dreamcast, is supported by some Dreamcast emulators. Atomiswave is an arcade system board that is based upon Naomi.

Comparisons
- DEmul has the highest compatibility and is the most accurate Dreamcast emulator. But there may be some games that work better on NullDC or reicast, so it's a good idea to try them all. Supports Windows CE games but in general they run worse than standard Dreamcast titles.
- Makaron one of the only two Dreamcast emulator that can properly play games which use Windows CE.
- NullDC is no longer developed and is replaced by Reicast, which is made by the same team. Thus, using the latter is more recommended.
Emulation issues
Dreamcast emulation is not very good. Some games work well, but many have problems and glitches.
