Here are two possible reasons why EPSXE was never ported to the Dreamcast. I don't know which reason is the correct one, but I would be willing to bet that it has something to do with one or both of them:

1) It might not be open-source
2) It's written in something other than C or C++, so it's not possible to port it without completely re-writing it from scratch (at which point it's no longer a port, it's a completely new emu).

no source no port.

that being said there are maybe one or two other open source psx emulators out there, but they arent very portable. pcsx was only even ported because the author wanted it to be.
