I was playing with DC emulation this weekend and noticed a few great emulators missing.

Redream. https://redream.io/ - Just simply amazing!

Reicast http://reicast.com/ - Mainly for android but apparently also for windows.

Makaron not sure of the home page? - not being developed.

I'll see what I can do but probably no directly providing files for redream and reicast.

Edit: If you wish to add/write any text let me know and I will edit/add it.

suggestions

Redream - Add a note about it being one of the more user-friendly and eye pleasing for dc? I personally think that is what made it stand out. You almost have to install it to see what I mean. - Also it was GPL3 and went closed. Story - > https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/6066

Here is the source project before it closed
https://github.com/libretro/redream

and here is a new project based on it
https://github.com/JackoboLeChocobo/redream-Reloaded

FYI.


I also was wondering (lots of work I know) why no love for multi-emus? Lots out there bizhalk and mess or the likes but the big one retroArch is prolly the one to use.

Big fan of open source but I would rather not do "politics" if you know what I mean.

Well, RIP mess first of all, all the code has been integrated to MAME since several versions ago (many people choose to use "arcade only" forks) and Retroarch is already there: https://www.emulator-zone.com/misc/retroarch.
