Flycast vs Panda3DS

Flycast Dojo is a free, open-source fork of the Flycast emulator for Sega Dreamcast, Naomi, Naomi 2 and Atomiswave. Its focus is netplay and replay, with training tools for supported games. Players can connect using Match Codes, direct IP connections or virtual LANs such as ZeroTier or Radmin. Match Codes use an internet relay to help start peer-to-peer sessions through firewalls without an account or extra software. Netplay sessions can be recorded and played back, or transmitted to a replay server or listening spectator. Training Mode supports RetroArch .cht cheats, savestates, and recording and playing back inputs. Players can compare ROM MD5 checksums, while successful peer-to-peer play requires matching ROM and BIOS files. The project is bundled with Fightcade and Arkadyzja. It is listed for Android, Linux, macOS and Windows, though the official site links downloads for Windows, Linux and Mac. The documentation notes that Match Codes may have problems on some cloud gaming services or corporate networks.

Panda3DS is a free, open-source emulator for Nintendo 3DS games on computers and portable devices. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, with Lua scripting, cheats, controller input, support for some system apps, and work-in-progress amiibo support. The project offers automatically updated nightly builds and manually updated stable builds released every few weeks. Desktop builds include an SDL frontend without a GUI and an experimental Qt frontend with a user interface. Panda3DS is still in early development: many games boot, while many do not, and graphics, audio, and usability features can be incomplete. Compatibility information may not always be up to date, and not all games have been tested. Android is also early in development, so compatibility and performance may differ from desktop. Audio support is experimental; the configuration menu is still being developed, and settings must be changed by editing config.toml in a text editor. The emulator is licensed under GPLv3.
