Flycast

Flycast is a multi‑platform emulator that runs software for Sega’s Dreamcast, Naomi, Naomi 2 and Atomiswave systems. It originates from the reicast project and adds support for a range of hardware configurations, with documentation on features and settings maintained in a community wiki. The emulator is available for Android, Windows, Linux (via Flatpak), macOS (via Homebrew), Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One/Series, with binaries and automated test results posted on its builds page.

Typical users are enthusiasts who want to play legacy Sega arcade and console titles on modern devices. The project provides straightforward installation methods for each supported platform, including Google Play for Android and Homebrew cask for macOS, and it supplies source‑level build instructions for Linux developers.

What distinguishes Flycast is its broad platform coverage, active continuous‑integration testing across Android, C/C++, Switch, UWP and BSD, and a community Discord for support. The emulator relies on standard graphics APIs such as Vulkan and OpenGL, and it can be compiled from source using a typical C/C++ toolchain, CMake, and common libraries like SDL2.
