#redream #flycast #nulldc

[overlord]

- NullDC is old, but all in all stable;
- FlyCast is the only one of the three to support games for Naomi and Atomiswave (for now), but sometimes it has embarrassing frame drops and some bugs in certain games;
- Redream is extremely stable, high compatibility (now it can read almost the entire Sega Dreamcast stock), a pleasant and practical design, compatible with different operating systems (not just Windows). In fact, I haven't found any faults in this emulator, and from what I've heard they are preparing for a substantial update!

I own all three, but I don't deny that I always use Redream in the end!

P.S.: great comparison!

Just the fact you have to pay for redream is a no-go for me. The whole emulation scene is mainly based on being free.

[Jay-iepp]

Redream has a lot of aliasing going on while flycast does not, which probably explains the better FPS in some games w/ Redream.

[MyThingsRedux]

Redream is the best. Games play really smooth with much better 1% lows and less stuttering than the other two. The interface is nice and simple, made for gamepads. It runs on low end machines easily. I have a 2012 laptop with a nvidia 640m 2GB. It runs fine on most games in 1080p 60fps.

In most of testing games, Flycast consumes less System RAM than Redream Lite in this video. In contrast, Redream Lite produces more stable results at 60 FPS. But I prefer Flycast because it allows me to play acade game console NAOMI & NAOMI 2. ^_^

I'm just amazed at how amazing these games still look just with a simple resolution bump

[Vitasbosson]

I played in all Dteamcast games on emulators of Chankast and nulldc 1.0.6 on Athlon 2200+ (One core 1800 mhz), 256 mb ram, radeon 9200 (64 mb) and on Android 2 core, 1 gb ram mali 400 on emulator reicast.

[spooky_electric]

It looks like Redream is running at 480p? Kind of wish you were running the premium version to see if it's worth paying for over just playing Flycast for free. Flycast runs well on my machine, even at 4K, but I do get like texture glitches in say, the characters' hair or on the floor or walls. Redream seemingly runs flawlessly and has the best UI, but without seeing its performance at higher resolutions, it's harder to chance the purchase.

[dooleh]

Wouldn't it be better to be humble and make a patreon than to charge for resolution scaling and save state slots? Redream devs are the same type of people as egg ns devs.

[SR_Croft]

A única coisa que odeio no redream é os efeitos de transparência que são muito bugados e que não foram corrigidos até hj, e os botões touch que às vezes bugam por selecionar 2 ou mais ao mesmo tempo
Amo muito o flycast por ter a emulação da Internet do DC, mas devido aos controles touch serem meio feios e com um D-pad e analógico muito bizarros isso me afasta um pouco de usá-lo

[MrTERRY]

Agora o Vita virou um mini Dreamcast! Incriável

[eudemirsouza]

O Redream roda muito melhor que o Flycast, o NullDC é mais complicado de configurar do que o Redream.Ótimo vídeo comparativo, parabéns !

Yo tengo Flycast para Android TV. Es el mejor emulador actualmente, además de q te permite guardar y cargar estados en muchos slots, también corre Naomi 1 y 2, Atomiswave y Sega System SP, no solamente Dreamcast. Este emulador es bestial. Sumado a que finalmente soporta juegos con Windows CE como Half Life o Resident Evil 2. Redream lo tuve hace un tiempo, y no es tan efectivo y flexible en mí Android TV. Lo tuve en PC y en mí moto g22 y en eso iba espectacular incluso con juegos como Sonic Adventure 2 (60 fps, lo q lo hace demandante en dispositivos gama baja) o Dead or Alive 2 y muy de vez en cuando Test Drive Le Mans (problemas con el sonido rara vez pero muy fluido se podía jugar). Por otro lado, Redream en Android TV (Android 11) no deja leer roms desde la tarjeta SD. Flycast si permite. Esto último la hace automáticamente ganadora.

[pyronfr]

i still think flycast is better just for the fact that it support naomi and atomiswave

[troymcdonald]

Surprised to see in some games Flycast drops to half the FPS of Redream and NullDC.

[SevenDeMagnus]

Cool is buying the Redream Premium worth it to play Shenmue 1 & 2 (I'll most likely just play Hang On using gyrosteer of the amazing Sony Playstation DualSense).

God bless.

[Facupro]

Illumination looks amazing in flycast but redream has 60 fps that obviously looks cool, nothing essential but cool though

Redream best emulator DC all time
For Windows BEST COMPLETELY 100%
For Android Nice Other game problem bug 40%

[jmartin]

Dreamcast in 4k... REDREAM all the way!
Pay the man his $6.00! (£5.80 UK Pound-Sterling)

The interface is absolutely 'Dreamy' (Pun intended!)... Seriously: It's gorgeous!
I have Retroarch too, so playing games in 4K is no problem... But Redream earns it's stripes in my opinion!

Soul Calibur after more than 20 years, in 4K! The End!!!

NullDC es insuperable hasta ahora. Tiene soporte para ventana VMU, soporte para vibracion, escaldo sin paga y con hack para widescreen.
