Reicast - Dreamcast emulator for Android

[Danny]

As of, well, today, the alpha version of Sega Dreamcast emulator Reicast is available for Android. It's essentially an Android-based version of Nulldce.

Quick warning: the developer of Reicast reckons that you'll need to have at least a Cortex-A9 dual-core 1GHz+ processor in your Android device to run Reicast properly.

Given this is an alpha version of Reicast, you might obviously come across a few bugs. Otherwise, you should have no problem running the likes of Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, and more.

Reicast even works on the Ouya, by the way. So, if you have one to hand, you download the .apk file and get it running on a big screen.

You can download Reicast for free on Google Play [Download here] right now.

I gave it a quick go with Shenmue. Speed seems fantastic, a lot of graphical glitches in that particular game however.
Going to try it again this weekend with Sonic adventure and a few other games.

I tested it on my Nexus 4.

By impractical, I presume you mean the touch controls? When it supports the moga controllers and stuff it will be a lot more accessible.
You know the author is a genius, so i'm sure the kinks will be worked out soon enough.
