Flycast Dojo is a fork of Flycast, a multi-platform Sega Dreamcast, Naomi and Atomiswave emulator derived from Reicast, with a focus on netplay features and replay. We intend to keep Flycast Dojo updated with the latest downstream changes made to the parent project.

Flycast Dojo can be retrieved from GitHub, or as a part of the Fightcade matchmaking service. However you obtain it, you will always have the option to use it standalone for P2P games using Match Codes over an internet matchmaking server, through a direct IP connection, or a virtual LAN like ZeroTier or Radmin.

For quick start guides, frequently asked questions, online replays, and community links where you can find people to play against, head to the Flycast Dojo site.

Making a stable release before I merge the SD card PR

Yes, it’s time for another release: MAME 0.258! It’s been another month of exciting Apple updates. Several low-cost Macintosh computers with 68040 CPUs are now supported, and there are fixes for some issues with sound playback. For earlier Macintosh computers, there are two new floppy disk software lists: one for original dumps and one containing low-impact cracks. Support for early CD-ROM drives has been improved, allowing early multimedia software for the Apple II and Macintosh to run. There are also a few Apple III fixes in there.

Moving on to other computers, Silicon Graphics workstation support is still making progress. This month, the Personal IRIS 4D family have been promoted to working. The ZX Spectrum family has been further filled out with another enhanced clone from Scorpion, Ltd. Work is continuing on various PC video and sound cards, allowing software that uses more of their advanced features to run. This month, you may notice better sampled sound playback...

    The text will be inserted through the simulation of the pressure of the keys and it will always
    be possible to interrupt the insertion by pressing the ESC key. During the paste, the Fast Forwarding
    will be active to reduce the waiting time.
  • Added support for the tape data recorder. Added a "Tape" submenu in the "NES"...
