Mednafen The '''[[wikipedia:Sega Dreamcast|Dreamcast]]''' is a sixth-generation console released by [[wikipedia:Sega|Sega]] on November 27, 1998 in Japan and later on September 9, 1999 in NA. It retailed for {{Inflation|USD|199.99|1999}}. It had a Hitachi SH-4 RISC CPU at 200 MHz with 16 MB of RAM and 8 MB of VRAM. It had a PowerVR2 GPU at 100 MHz, which theoretically was capable of pushing 3 million polygons/second on-screen. There is 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.. Sega also released the '''[[Sega NAOMI and variants|Naomi]]''', an acronym for "My Emulator Doesnarcade system board with similar components to the Dreamcast. Sammy's ''t Need A Frickin' Excellent Name"[https://segaretro.<br org/>Atomiswave Atomiswave]''' arcade board was also based on the Dreamcast and Naomi.

 ===Comparisons===;[[CategoryDEmul]]:Game Boy Has the highest compatibility and accuracy, but it' Windows-only and closed-source. It supports Windows CE games, but in general, they run worse than standard Dreamcast titles. It's also more resource-intensive than other emulators]].;[[Category:Game Boy Advance emulatorsredream]]: Multi-platform and easy to use, but it's closed-source. Compatible with [https://redream.io/compatibility 90+% of the Dreamcast library] (Windows CE now supported), has a good user interface, is easy to set up, and can run without a BIOS. Runs on [Categoryhttps:Nintendo Entertainment System emulators]//youtu.be/rywLHa1i9yk?t=529 low-end machines]provided that they support OpenGL 3.1. There's a payware premium version that provides high-definition rendering. ;[[CategorynullDC]]:TurboGrafx Can run a lot of games at great speed on mid-16 emulators]]end PC and it's open-source, however, it's no longer developed and the more recent forks have improved upon it.:;[[Category:Multi-emulatorsreicast]]: Eventually, nullDC's author forked his own project into reicast, with the main objective to widen platform availability to smartphones and tablets. While wider availability is generally a good thing, this resulted in cutting accuracy corners from the nullDC codebase to achieve the speed goals necessary to run on these platforms. Advancements in mobile hardware should have led to the removal of such "hacks"; however lack of developer resources and interest led to long delays in Reicast development, and the codebase remained virtually untouched for years before the RetroArch team began working with it as part of a "Reicast core", later named Flycast.:;[[Category:OS X emulation softwarereicast#Libretro_core|Flycast]]: Fork of reicast available as a standalone emulator and as a [[Category:Linux emulation softwarelibretro]]core. Libretro collaborators, primarily [[Categoryhttps:Emulators]//github.com/flyinghead/reicast-emulator flyinghead], dramatically improved Reicast in areas such as graphics, input, system clock, and Dreamcast VMU. Atomiswave and NAOMI SH-4-based arcade systems have also been added to great fanfare<ref name="flycastnaomi">https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues/136</ref>, along with support for MAME's popular CHD format. Even full MMU support, which is needed to run WinCE-based games such as "Armada", "Half-Life" and "SEGA Rally Championship 2", has recently been tackled through an experimental branch (anyone following Dreamcast emulation over the years understands what a tough nut this is to crack). Aside from some audio stuttering issues in games such as "Looney Toons Space Race" and "Resident Evil: Code Veronica", this is a highly compatible and accurate emulator.  ;[[CategoryMakaron]]:Game Boy One of the only two closed-source Dreamcast emulators that can properly play Windows CE games. ==Emulation issues==For the emulators that are either mature or maturing, a very large percentage of games work well, but some games still have problems and glitches. ==VMU emulators]]==While some Dreamcast emulators can leverage the screen of the VMU while the game is running, none of them allow you to play the minigames developed for it.
