    There used to be the BLEEM! project for emulating PSX games on the Dreamcast. It was officially shutdown after Sony went after them. You might still be able to find it and get it to work. I don't know how well it worked when it was around.

    Other than BLEEM!, I cannot recall any emulators you could run on the Dreamccast.

    Bleem! was a commercial emulator for PC (you had to buy the emulator). I believe that is why Sony went after them.

    Well, there was a Dreamcast version called Bleemcast.

    And ya, it was commercial... but it is dead now, and you can still find it out there. I don't know how well it worked, because I never used it.

    Here's a compatibility list.

    Seems that it didn't work very well. Not that many games worked well enough to play.

    I suspect it was the commercial bit that got on Sony's tits. they didn't really do anything about any other emulators.
