I dont think there is specificly a MAME for the Dreamcast. There are however a lot of emulators for systems; Atari, NES, SMS, Genesis, SNES, and more. Here's a site that has a list of all the emulators.

Yes, there's a MAME emu for DC. It's called MAMED. The same guy that makes this also made ports for digital cameras. Weird, eh? Here's the link. I used it before and it's not bad for older games. Don't expect to play Street Fighter 2 or anything like that. Not only does the DC not have the clock cycles, it doesn't have enough RAM either. It's still worth checking out.

PERSONAL PLUG OPPORTUNITY:
I'm currently working on a re-release of NesterDC, the NES emulator for Dreamcast. It'll be called NesterDC SE. It'll have many improvements and new features such as improved compatibility and speed, NSF player, instruction manual viewer, new stylish interface, and more. I'm nearing the end of my development and should be making the release in a couple months. You should go to the DC Emulation forums at:

Unbelievably, the DC homebrew and emulation scene is still strong. Check it out!

Well I've just discovered the DC Emulation scene recently...and WOW, I've been blown away by MAMED, DreamSNES and the SMS/GG Emulators for the system. Unfortuantely I haven't been able to download a MAMED emu with Neo Geo Roms, but that would be really amazing to see. Funny thing is, I've been busting my butt for a while now trying to figure out the unknown digital video output for the GG to play that system on a finer screen...the GG Emulator for DC is perfect though...it was the answer to my GG prayers :)

After I finish my Saturn portable this IS going to be my next project-a portabe Dreamcast :D

If anyone knows how the Genesis-DC emu is I'd like to know as well...
