Flycast brings Dreamcast gaming to the Vita

How do you get the world's greatest console commercial failure playing on the world's greatest handheld commercial failure? Answer, Flycast. 

If you were around back then, the Dreamcast was amazing, with true arcade-class games and features like VGA-out to play on a crisp PC monitor, a modem for online gaming and so much more. Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, House of the Dead 2, Metropolis Street Racer, NBA 2K, Tomb Raider Revelations and so much more, all great gaming memories that get another shot on the go. 


Having played the Android port of Crazy Taxi and a bunch of similar era games, there was always hope that the Vita could do better, and the handheld proves up to the task with a fresh release of the popular Flycast emulator. Plenty of video examples show games playing smoothly (25-26fps), but some games struggle. Still, this is yet another step in the Vita's rise to emulator domination. 

Thanks to Rinnegatamante & Bythos for their efforts. Note that a few people with too many plug-ins are reporting trouble getting it to run!
