Description
Reicast the only Dreamcast emulator for Android. It is not perfect yet, but can already run many games.
No games or bios are included with this download, as this would be illegal. You have to dump the bios and games from your own dreamcast.
**Permissions**
- "Photos/Media/Files" -> to read game images and bios
- "Camera/Microphone" -> for dreamcast microphone emulation
- "Device & app history" -> to read emulator crash logs. You can submit the logs via the included menu to help us solve issues.
**Setup**
- Create a folder named "reicast", and then a folder named "data" inside it. Put the bios (dc_boot.bin & dc_flash.bin) inside the data folder. Windows sometimes hides the file extention, so the filename might look like "dc_boot" on the windows explorer.
- Create a folder anywhere you want, and put the Dreamcast games in there. Reicast currently supports .gdi, .chd (v4), and .cdi disc formats, but .cdi is discouraged due to problematic compatibility.
- Open reicast and selet the "reicast" folder you created as system path.
- In order to save your game-play progress you will first need to format the memory cards. In order to do this you need to start the program, select the "boot bios" option, go to the "file" option, select the memory cards and then select the "delete all" option.
- Finally use the game navigator to locate your games. You can also setup a game path if you want to default to a specific folder.
- For further support & general questions, ask in http://forums.reicast.com/index.php?board=1.0
**Recommended specs**
- Cpu: Cortex-A9, Dualcore, 1.2ghz
- Gpu: Adreno, Tegra K1 or Mali400 gpus
- At least 512mb ram

5 ★ Works great but im not sure if its just mvc2, but the audio is kinda slow. also when i exit the game and go back in to the game then it stops working so i have to close the app then open it up again works well tho.after using it for about a day went into settings and fixed the lag and audio but its still a little slow with the audio.and if i attack in mvc2 the frame rate drops a little bit the background also makes it slower but it works really good.Thanks (:
3 ★ I like the emulator alot. the audio is fine, it works perfectly, but the only thing that i didn't like is the size of the controls, whenever i play a light gun game like House of The Dead 2, I can't aim very properly and i take a hard time reloding and firing. just at least make the buttons fit in our thumbs. we're don't have small thumbs
1 ★ Wow this thing is horrible, antiquated borderline unusable nonsensical GUI, overall very unfriendly, accurate and full speed emulation but FAR from an enjoyable or at least acceptable experience, scrollbars on touch screen devices? Come on guys!
2 ★ I can't see the buttons when I'm playing Sonic adventure and when I reopen the app again the app resets itself! Please fix these errors!
2 ★ It's very unstable and I only see black screen and hear audio. What changes should I make in the settings that can fix it?
5 ★ I tested re code Veronica on default settings and it ran at 25fps, I tried turning off some video settings but it didn't improve performance at all, so i am not sure if they work at all, I tried removing shadows and fog but the performance was exactly the same. Also I tried frame skipping but it seemed to make everything worse.
1 ★ Why have you not fixed the graphical issues? This project should not be open source, people fix things and someone else removes the fixes!!! Terrible management is going to kill the app
4 ★ I really like this app but when I was in the second level of Tails' story in Sonic Adventure The game just froze at one point and I tried going to the level again but the same thing happened. Please fix this bug.
4 ★ this is a really good emulator i've had it for years on my phone and it and it works perfectly but when i got it on my hp chromebook it crashes every time i try to load the rom. can you please fix this bug reicast team thankyou so very much
2 ★ i used to have it in 2018 it was good but in 2020 its now becoming worse 3d games crash on me phone im never gona download a new update intil its fixed
2 ★ Everytime I uninstall, to download the better version, it keeps overlaying itself, I don't get that, if u don't like add softrend to the emu, why update?
1 ★ This is the worse emulator. When I'm playing resident evil code veronica, when I get two golden pistols key, I get error Softrend fatal error disabled, invalid code path In creat -> ./../../../libswirl/rend/gles/glestex.ccp and I checked your forums for a solution nothing found. There is no solution😡
2 ★ The virtual gamepad doesn't show up, and the external xbox controller doesn't seem to work either after being set up. A shame but hopefully those issues will be fixed. Content directory also seems to reset a launch.
4 ★ Pretty good, but i think the sound still have to be fixed
1 ★ Save state freezes games. Particularly sonic adventure. Many games freeze during gameplay. I would like to use save state data. Developer needs to fix this buggy update.
