===Comparisons===
;[[DEmul]]:Has the highest compatibility and accuracy, but is Windows-onlyand 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.;[[redream]]:Runs on Windows, MacOS, Linux and Android. Compatible with [https://redream.io/compatibility 80+% of the Dreamcast library] (no Windows CE support), has a good user interface, is easy to set up and can run without a BIOS. Runs on [https://youtu.be/rywLHa1i9yk?t=529 low-end machines] provided that they support OpenGL 3.1. Is closed-source and has a payware premium version with high-definition rendering.
;[[nullDC]]:Can run a lot of games at great speed on mid-end PC but is no longer developed.
Windows CE games emulation is still poor and slow.
===Poor VMU emulationemulators===<!-- Update this entry if you have anything else on it -->While current 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 so playing those minigames would require another emulator. The problem ElysianVMU is there aren't any a complete lists of Dreamcast VMU emulators, and the emulators that can be found are poorly documentedemulator:[http://evmu.elysianshadows.com/ ElysianVMU]
