Actually Gaelco's (SH4) and Cave's (SH3) arcade hardware are not Dreamcast (based Tips: Model 3 is PPC, Saturn is SH2, Dreamcast is SH4) Translated from Demul official site - Currently, the emulator also supports emulation of slot machines basedon Sega Dreamcast: NAOMI, NAOMI 2 and Atomiswave. - In development, support for Sega Model 3, Sega Hikaru, Sega Saturn.Demul supports SH CPU based machines. And if If you think Dreamcast emulators should support them, why not add a Capcom's medal machine and other developers' SH CPU based arcade hardware? [https://youtu.be/ChYWgvxJ0EU?si=NqujOKmUdBfFYUSj. medal machine] (video uploaded by p1pkin uploaded many videos about Demul. Gaelco, Cave, Capcom and other SH based arcade hardware )? They should be moved to another page?other Dreamcast emulators won't support Saturn and Model 3

::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.
::;[[Flycast]]
:::Fork of reicast available as a standalone emulator and as a [[libretro]] core. Libretro collaborators, primarily [https://github.com/flyinghead/reicast-emulator flyinghead], dramatically improved Reicast in areas such as graphics, input, system clock, and Dreamcast VMUVM. Atomiswave and NAOMI SH-4-based arcade systems have also been added to great fanfare<ref group=N name="flycastnaomi">https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues/136</ref>, along with full MMU support, which is needed to run Windows CE-based games such as ''Armada'', ''Half-Life'', and ''SEGA Rally Championship 2''. It 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. Also, there is a [https://github.com/flyinghead/flycast/issues/1390 feature request] for implementing an LLE renderer similar to the redream one.

::::Fork of Flycast with a focus on netplay features and replay. Also, available on the [[Fightcade|Fightcade]] matchmaking service.

Where's VM to NAOMI? it was added to VM emulators page

===VMUVM===While Flycast, redream and DEmul emulators can leverage the screen of the VMU VM while the game is running, none of them allow you to play the standalone minigames developed for it (other than [[MAME]], but it has no interconnect support). If that's what you're after, then you should probably be looking at [[Sega VMU emulators|VM emulators]] instead.
Several titles for the Dreamcast included mini-games that could be downloaded onto a VMUVM. The Sonic Adventure series, for instance, included the Chao Adventure mini-game. In the game players could transfer Chao eggs to the VMU VM and play to increase the stats of their hatched Chao, whereupon they could upload their improved Chao back into the Dreamcast game.<ref>[https://sega.fandom.com/wiki/VMU Sega WikiFandom: VMUVM]</ref>:[https://sega.fandom.com/wiki/VMU#Dreamcast_titles_that_include_VMU_games_and_extra_features Dreamcast titles that include VMU VM games and extra features]
