Place the .nro to the /switch/ folder on the SD card.

A Dreamcast BIOS file is optional but NAOMI and Atomiswave BIOS files are required. You can add them in any folder and select the folder in the settings.

Dreamcast main files:

  • dc_boot.bin - Main BIOS.
  • dc_nvmem.bin - Console internal memory data; like clock, language.
  • VMU_save_XY.bin - VMU save files; X for controller port and Y for slot (for example, A1, C1, D2).

NAOMI/Atomiswave BIOS files (see also verifying BIOS files):

  • naomi.zip - Almost all NAOMI games.
  • hod2bios.zip - The House of the Dead 2.
  • awbios.zip All - Atomiswave games.
  • f355bios.zip - Ferrari F355 Challenge (twin/deluxe).

Flycast supports the following:

  • SEGA Dreamcast games (CHD, CDI, GDI, CUE) including games based on Windows CE.
  • SEGA NAOMI games (.zip, .7z, .dat/.lst).
  • SEGA NAOMI GD-ROM games (.zip, .7z, .dat/.lst and .chd).
  • Sammy Atomiswave games (.zip, .7z).

(Doesn't support SEGA NAOMI 2, Hikaru, or SEGA System SP games.)

Optionally you can install the nsp forwarder made by TheNintendoEnthusiast (tested with FW 12+ and Atmosphere 1.2.5).
