The '''[[wikipedia:Sega Dreamcast|Sega Dreamcast]]''' is a sixth-generation console released by [[wikipedia:Sega|SEGASega]] on November 27, 1998 in Japan and later on September 9, 1999 in NA. It retailed for {{Inflation|USD|199.99|1999}}.
More in depth, it had a Hitachi SH-4 RISC CPU at 200 MHz with 16 MB of RAM and 8 MB of VRAM. Additionally, on the graphic side, the console came with a PowerVR2 GPU at 100 MHz, which theoretically was capable of pushing 3 million polygons/second on-screen. The audio system had a 2 MB audio RAM, which complemented a powerful 67 MHz Yamaha AICA sound processor, with a 32-bit ARM7 RISC CPU core. The audio chip could generate 64 voices with PCM or ADPCM codec and provided ten times the performance of the [[Sega Saturn emulators|Saturn's]] sound system.
A few years later, a successor of the NAOMI board was released in 2001, called [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_NAOMI_2 NAOMI 2]. It was a bit more powerful than it's predecessor, having one more Hitachi SH-4 CPU and another PowerVR 2 GPU.
Only 13 titles were released for this board, although most emulators of nowadays have problems running them, except from Flycast and its forks.
