==Comparison=Comparisons===:''Note: There may be some games that run better in other emulators than DEmul, so it won't hurt to try them all.'';[[DEmul has ]]:Has the highest compatibilty compatibility and is the most accurate Dreamcast emulator. Supports Windows CE games but in general, but there may be some they run worse than standard Dreamcast titles.;Makaron:One of the only two Dreamcast emulator that can properly play Windows CE games that work better on .;[[NullDC]]:No longer developed and is replaced by Reicast, so it's a good idea to try bothwhich is made by the same team.

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 VMU display when the only Dreamcast emulator that game is running, none of them can properly be used to play the minigames which were made to run on the VMU. To play games that 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.
