About
Flycast is the actively developed Dreamcast emulator, covering the console and the Naomi, Naomi 2 and Atomiswave arcade systems that share its hardware. It renders at high resolution, supports widescreen hacks and texture packs, and does online play for the games that had it.
No games are included. Dreamcast runs with its built-in replacement BIOS; the arcade boards need firmware dumped from your own hardware.
