Dreamcast Emu
DJ_Izumi:
Markaron or whatever it's called seems to be looking to succeed NullDC as the best DC emulator. Namely because it's actually in development where as NullDC hasn't been updated since mid 2008.
Shoegazer:
I will confirm that at least for now NullDC is the best DC emu. However, if you're seeking to run NAOMI, NAOMI 2 and Atomiswave arcade games, you really need to check out Demul as it runs all three fairly well. As someone else here pointed out, NullDC is seriously lagging in development, due to the author's refocused efforts on porting the emu to the PSP and other such silliness, rather than add some badly needed improvements to accuracy among other features. In fact at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the emu has seen it's final release. Demul on the other hand is rapidly improving in many great ways, and is still the only emulator that properly runs the excellent DC game "Propeller Arena".
As for Makaron, well, good luck. I've gotten it working, but not without a serious amount of hand-editing configuration settings etc. It's just too user-unfriendly to be worth anything, and the author adds another layer on top of that by refusing to support MAME rom sets. With NullDC and Demul being in existence there's hardly a reason to use it - it's basically obsolete.

You sure a quad is much better than a dual core?
I havent messed with Dolphin much.

From what I read around, yes. Having XP64 definitely helps and they are focusing more on that build.
