Sega Dreamcast
Sega’s hardware swansong is the most advanced console to be successfully emulated. Though a much meatier piece of kit than PSX and N64 alike, it never really took off, though it retains a cult following. We’re concentrating on an older emulator here, no longer in development, but DEmul (demul.emulation64.com) still has the occasional update.
Get it working

Essential games
Ikaruga
A vertical shoot-em-up where you can switch between black and white modes; each is more vulnerable to certain enemies, and more damaging.
Jet Grind Radio
A graffiti and roller-blade-based platformer/racer, this demonstrated just how much of an edge the Dreamcast had over the PlayStation.
Soul Calibur
A challenging and wild 3D fighter, this still looks pretty good even now.
