Overview
Reicast is a Dreamcast emulator developed in part by some of the developers of NullDC. The aim of the project was a Dreamcast emulator that is highly portable while also being fast and highly compatible. It focused mainly on Android, with builds for other platforms including Windows.
Reicast can render Dreamcast games at a higher internal resolution, so they look much sharper on an HD screen than a stretched image of the original output.
Like NullDC, the emulator it is based on, Reicast needs the Dreamcast BIOS to run. We cannot provide BIOS files here because they are copyrighted.
Reicast has not been developed since around 2020. Its work continues in Flycast, a fork that is actively developed for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and RetroArch, and which also emulates the NAOMI and Atomiswave arcade systems. We recommend Flycast instead.
