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.
- Makaron is the only 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 okay but nothing great. Some games work well, but many have problems and glitches.
