BIOS Setup

Dreamcast needs no BIOS

Almost every Dreamcast game runs on iFly's built-in HLE BIOS (Reios). You only need a real BIOS for the arcade systems (Naomi, Naomi 2, Atomiswave, System SP).

Put BIOS files in the BIOS/ folder. Names are case-normalized to lowercase, and MAME romsets must keep their exact basename.
