#Dreamcast emulator for xbox 360 download pro#

I don't have a high end PC anymore, just a Surface Pro 6 (i5), though if a Pi is good enough I assume an i5 is. But if DC is trivial and you can easily set it up a dedicated emulation device like a Pi and then not mess with it again, I'd be very interested. Is it good? I haven't really enjoyed stuff like Dolphin because it's super fiddly even for games that 'work' - find all the right settings for every game, etc. I have no idea how good emulation is for Dreamcast except that I googled a couple lists for Raspberry Pi. Ok, so all of that said it looks like there are three main options: Xbox, original hardware, and emulation. I'm perfectly fine playing old games that look old. Certain games I've played a lot in ports or that have better sequels: Ikaruga, sports games, racing games etc.

Let's say I have budget of about $500 here, but would prefer to spend more like $150.

I'd prefer not to spend money on hardware but certainly can if it's clearly the best choice (either original hardware or emulation hardware, controllers etc.).

I'd favor playing with the original controller or a good reproduction if possible, though it's not a dealbreaker.

I'd favor the 'original' experience over later changes and HD graphics, unless the changes are clear improvements like fixes.

But I'll play almost anything that's solid.

More generally, I like action-adventure games, RPGs, or weird stuff that hasn't gotten ported or gets overlooked.

Looking for games that were deeply associated with Dreamcast at the time and seen as reasons to own the system.

I want to set up one 'Dreamcast' or make a 'Dreamcast' group on my Xbox and play through it.

I would really like to play a set of great DC games in one place, not mix and match across Xbox, emulation, etc.

That said, I'd much rather enjoy just playing the games than deal with endemic hardware issues or poor emulation if those are the alternatives. I want to feel like I'm enjoying the Dreamcast I should have bought in 2001 when I saw one for $50 and made the fateful decision not to buy it.

I'm trying to have fun with this as an experience. What's the best way to do this? What I care about: I've been thinking for awhile that I'd like to either get one used or make a point of sitting down and playing through sort of a 'best of' collection. So, the Dreamcast is the only major system I have never personally owned or even played on. *Puts up swirly logo bat signal for the Era Dreamcast community*
