So I figured I'd try Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast today, and while the nostalgia of the Dreamcast logo popping up was comforting, I did not know that something would be...off. After starting the game I've discovered that the graphical aspects of the game are very, wonky and almost screen covering, and while the game runs and sounds fine, these graphical errors I can only imagine get worse, and as I've read up on a topic that details a similar issue with the graphics, they do. I am well aware that it's the NullDC emulator itself that is causing these issues, and after doing a little research, discovered that not only is the emulator's last build dated to September of 2011, but that it's creator has gone on some kind of indefinite hiatus. I am writing this thread to ask if we have considered using the Reicast emulator (which is NullDCs replacement...at least according to Wikipedia) or another Dreamcast emulator if there is another one out there? I am asking on account of personal curiosity and overall Dreamcast game appearance.

The Reicast emulator's webpage can be found here http://reicast.com/

reicast works only in android which lags even more than normal. Yes the emulator has problems almost to the point where games are unplayable but no one has build a working dreamcast emulator for a very long time.

Upon looking further at Reicast, it's very strange that the emulator is only for Android. Personally I think it would make more sense to have it on PC and then the phone but well, I am only an observer.

Kinda funny how a phone is now as powerful, if not more powerful than a Dreamcast,
