Emulation on the Nintendo Switch continues to improve at a rapid rate. The latest advancement of which is the porting of the Dreamcast emulator, Reicast. You can take your late 90s SEGA nostalgia with you wherever you go, thanks to the work of @davidgf who has released the very first alpha build of Reicast for the Switch. As this is an initial release, there are bugs and performance issues to be found, though a more stable version is promised soon. The download is available below, in the official thread for the project. As far as performance goes, Dreamcast classics such as Crazy Taxi, Chu Chu Rocket, Jet Set Radio, and others have been tested as playable, to varying degrees of success.

I'm glad to introduce to reicast for switch. This is a very rushed release, expect bugs and many issues, but in the next days a more polished version should be in order.

The current version has some caveats: although it uses JIT (so fullspeed! in fact can go at x2 the speed easily) there's no exception handling yet, therefor things like texture invalidation doesnt' work well. This can be very limiting for some games, whereas others won't show many quirks. In fact just the BIOS shows this behaviour, textures in dialogs won't get updated
