Just recently, the Reicast development team working on the Dreamcast emulator released a teaser alluding to the possibility of the emulator running on Nintendo Switch with the Sonic Adventure game loading screen showing on the display of the console.

So far things are not clear about the details pertaining to the emulator, but it can fairly confidently be guessed that it is going to be a top performer because of the team of developers in charge of the main project. Reicast has experience with dynamic recompiling that boosts game speeds on non-native platforms.

Reicast is already available on Android and PC. The official website contains further information in this regard if you’re interested:

Reicast is a Sega Dreamcast emulator. It’s an app that allows you to play your Dreamcast games on your computer or android phone. We’ve even baked in some magic to make things looks prettier than they did on the Dreamcast. Of course, not all games work, and the ones that do often have glitches

Reicast primarily aims for speed and to run on android. It is derived from the nullDC codebase. We work on it in our spare time, because we love working on complicated, headache-inducing projects. Development traces back to late 2003 and has been largely non-continuous.
