Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Flycast emulates Dreamcast, Naomi, Naomi 2 and Atomiswave hardware. Its official repository distinguishes stable, current and experimental builds.

Use a tagged release for a more conservative setup, or consult a newer build when a particular fix is needed. The project provides system-specific installation routes and a configuration wiki. The repository currently says iOS support has been dropped, so older guides should not be treated as current support promises.
