[[File:Dreamcast.jpg|thumb|The Dreamcast console]]The '''[[gametech:Sega Dreamcast|Dreamcast]]''' is a 6th generation console released by Sega in November 1998 in Japan and later in 1999 in other territories. Naomi is an arcade system board, which is very similar to the Dreamcast. Some Dreamcast emulators have support for it as well. Atomiswave is an arcade system board that is based upon Naomi.
Dreamcast emulation is okay, but nothing great. Some games work well, but many have problems and glitches.

Makaron ==Emulation issues==Dreamcast emulation is not very good. Some games work well, but many have problems and glitches. ===VMU Emulation===<!-- Update this entry if you have anything else on it -->While current Dreamcast emulators can display the only Dreamcast emulator that VMU display when the game is running, none of them can properly be used to play games that the minigames which were made to run on the VMU. To play those minigames you'll need to use Windows CEanother emulator. There is no complete list of VMU emulators and the ones which can be found are poorly documented and/or closed source.[[Category:Consoles]]

==Comparison=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.
