Flycast is a multi-platform Dreamcast emulator based upon reicast and is the base for Dreamcast emulation efforts on the Vita. Chosen due to the fact that it already runs quite well on ARM devices, Flycast received some modifications in order to work better on the PSVita considering its limited hardware.
These modifications include:
- Disabling the MMU due to the fact that VitaSDK does not have support for some required functions
- By disabling the MMU, some compatibility is sacrificed for better performance. Due to this, Rinnegatamante provides 3 binaries which have Self-Modifying code checks enabled to varying degrees (disabled, limited and full) as such checks depend on MMU functionality.
- VitaSDK is the SDK used to build the Flycast emulator for the Vita
- The Dreamcast’s SH4 core was downclocked to 40% of its original clockspeed
- The Flycast graphics renderer was re-written in order to fully utilise vitaGL’s capabilities thus improving performance
there are 21 playable titles which include:
- Aqua GT
- Spiderman (2000)
- GigaWing & GigaWing 2
- Death Crimson
- Fist of the North Star
- Chu Chu Rocket
- Power Stone
- Grandia II
- Capcom vs SNK and Capcom vs SNK 2
- Mr Driller among other titles
