About this Dreamcast Compatibility Checker

This lightweight tool helps you quickly check if a Sega Dreamcast game is playable in modern emulators like Redream, Flycast, and Reicast. It combines a fast local database for instant results with live lookups from free online resources such as Wikipedia (for game details and artwork) and GitHub (for recent issue discussions). The result is a clean, responsive experience that works beautifully on phones, tablets, and desktops—and it’s easy to embed on WordPress sites, including the Kadence theme, using a standard HTML block.

How to Use

• Type a game name (for example, “Shenmue” or “Soulcalibur”) and press Search.
• Toggle emulator chips (Redream, Flycast, Reicast) or filter by status (Playable, In‑game, Unplayable).
• Open the Wikipedia link for background info, and the GitHub link to see recent compatibility chatter.
• Use Export CSV to download the visible list for your notes or collection tracking.

Tips

• WinCE-based titles (e.g., Sega Rally 2, Re‑Volt) may perform better on Flycast. Try alternate cores if you hit issues.
• Keep emulators up to date—compatibility improves frequently.
• Use accurate dumps and the correct region settings/BIOS where required.
• On lower-powered devices, reduce internal resolution or disable heavy post-processing for smoother play.

Disclaimer: Compatibility can vary by emulator version, settings, and hardware. The local database is indicative. Always verify with the official emulator sites and issue trackers linked above.
