Maybe it's not worth emulating the dreamcast because many of the best Sega Dreamcast titles are available natively for Windows.

Crazy Taxi 
Jet Set Radio
Nights
Sega Bass Fishing 
Sonic Adventure DX
Space Channel 5 : Part 2
Ikaruga 
TrickStyle
Grandia® II Anniversary 
Daytona USA Deluxe
Virtua Tennis
Virtua Tennis 4 
Guilty Gear X 2

MAME

Mr.Driller
Puzzle Fighter 
Mars Matrix 

Considering that the emulation for dreamcast to men seems optimized and well taken care of, we are really sure that it is worth emulating the dreamcast?

...there's plenty of stuff worth emulating on DC.

It does have more random encounters, but honestly that never bothered me. That might be different if I didn't enjoy the combat in the game, but thankfully that's not the case - I really like the combat in Skies of Arcadia.

The way I look at it is that the music is present literally every second of the game, so that aspect is worse literally all the time in the GC version, which makes it a no-go for me. It has a great OST - I don't want to hear it downsampled to hell. If I had never played the DC version, the GC version's music might be more tolerable but I got the DC version when it originally released; I didn't play the GC version until many years later, but even then as soon as I heard the music I was like "What is going on here?" because it sounded so much worse. I actually thought there was something wrong with my Gamecube or the disc.
