Holy SH**!

I just played Sonic Adventure 2 and Ikaruga on my PC using NullDC emulator. Emulation is 99% perfect (few small sound hickups).

This alone is pretty badass news...but the cool thing is that I did this with its Nvidia 3D driver which makes all Dreamcast games appear 3D using Nvidia 3D vision.

The driver is excellent and the quality of the 3D was quite amazing. Especially sweet is that since its emulation, games run in whatever resolution you want them to run (1080p for me).

You need a beefy PC to do it in 3D but the emulator on its own doesn't require much. All I can say is god bless homebrew!

You can add another bulletin point to Sega Dreamcast...First console with games that you can play in HD 3D! :)

 

*Edit

For those interested you can read up on the emulator here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NullDC
