Reicast: Sega Dreamcast Emulator

Open-source emulator allowing users to play Dreamcast games on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android with accurate hardware replication for a playable experience

What is Reicast?

Reicast is an open-source Sega Dreamcast emulator that allows users to play Dreamcast games on modern operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Developed by a team of contributors, it aims to replicate the Dreamcast hardware as accurately as possible through software emulation to provide an authentic gaming experience.

One of the main goals of the Reicast project is playability and performance. Significant effort has gone into making sure games run at full speed on a variety of hardware configurations. At the same time, the developers have strived for accuracy in areas like graphics, audio, and input to preserve the look, sound, and feel of the original Dreamcast console.

Reicast supports several handy features for players. These include save states to pause and resume progress whenever they want, graphics options to enhance visuals beyond original console quality, cheat codes for tweak gameplay mechanics, and built-in controllers for keyboard, mouse, or gamepad play. The emulator can even connect online for certain titles with multiplayer and online features.

As an open-source project written in C/C++, Reicast is completely free for anyone to download and use. It is available across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android platforms. The code is actively maintained on GitHub by a community of developers and contributors looking to further improve accuracy and compatibility.
