Earlier this year, there were plans put into motion by
@Rinnegatamante to bring
Dreamcast emulation to the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV. Nowadays, the name
Rinnegatamante should synonymous with Vita ports, as he is responsible for multiple major ports, all which come with a high level of polish. You will have to look no further than the work he and
The FlOw have performed in bringing
Grand Theft Auto III natively to the scene, and all the advancements that have been made since the initial release. Or, watch as the continually evolving
Daedalus X64 (Nintendo 64 emulator) make leaps and bounds in allowing us to enjoy all of our favorite N64 games once again. Simply put, take a look at our
Vita Homebrew section of the forum to see all the hard work and amazing releases
Rinnegatamante has been providing for us.
flycast-vita is no different, and is bound to become another one of everybody’s favorite homebrews as time goes on. That being said, at the current time, in it’s current form, flycast-vita is still somewhat just a proof-of-concept. I say that not to be-little the hard work of
Rinnegatamante and
flyinghead, but to let our users know not to expect to be able to install flycast-vita and immediately start replaying their entire Dreamcast library. Like any emulator, there are going to be games that play better than other, games that play perfectly, and games that flat-out just will not play at all. But if the huge hurdles
Rinnegatamante has passed already are any indication of the future of this project, we can expect amazing things in the future with flycast-vita.

One last side note… stay tuned to PSX-Place as Rinnegatamante has suggested the Vita/PS TV port of Grand Theft Auto Vice City might be released as early as sometime this month.
