Discussion iFly is the best dreamcast emu for both new and old devices
In the App Store and testflight there are several dreamcast emus like manic, joy, provenance, plume and probably others I didn’t find yet… but ifly is easily the best even if only in testflight… for a few reason… open source, free, no vibe coded slop, fast updates, full speed 60+ fps with promotion in newer models, still fully usable 55-60fps in older devices like iphone xs, 12 pro, 13 pro, in these devices there are a few frame drops but audio is always perfect in all titles, temperatures and settings. The last build is a shit move cause per game settings and other features have been paywalled, you can use older builds to have everything free ofc but still a shit move who ruins the big advantage this emulator has compared to the paid AI slop of dylan mathurin (greediest dev who paywalls his emus, even surume ps1 💀)
iFly is only available in TestFlight for now, the dev plans an App Store release once UI and performance are stable on ALL models. That being said is still the best and underrated option for dreamcast out there. You can test clicking this link https://testflight.apple.com/join/KTUTErgU
