Summary
Flycast Dojo is a free, open-source emulator fork for Sega Dreamcast, Naomi, Naomi 2, and Atomiswave, with a focus on netplay and replay. Players can connect using Match Codes, direct IP, or virtual LANs such as ZeroTier or Radmin. Match Codes use an internet relay to help set up peer-to-peer sessions behind firewalls without an account or extra software. Netplay sessions can be recorded and played back, or sent to a replay server or listening spectator. Training Mode supports RetroArch .cht cheats, savestates, and recording and replaying inputs for supported games. Players can compare ROM MD5 checksums, though successful peer-to-peer play requires matching ROM and BIOS files. The project is bundled with Fightcade and Arkadyzja. It supports Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows, while official downloads are linked for Windows, Linux, and Mac. Match Codes may encounter issues on some cloud gaming services or corporate networks.
