Hi im so happy when i was told that finally the dreamcast emulation arrived at playable state thanks to all your effort!!! 
I owned 2 dreamcast but tho upgrade my pc i had to sell it, but im still trying to buy one again.
Im here to tell some small experiences i had so far with the few games i played.
Sonic Adventure 2 - Garrofi said that this game is working fine, maybe an image from an original GD but the echelon rip im almost sure not.
Speed- Very good some fps drops when many things at screen but not anything that stops the play. If you turn on capcom the game gets a lot fast too fast i think.
Graphics - Very good 2 sometimes the subtitltes got messed by some wrong textures but if you turn z write will solve it but another problem comes out a lot of blocks on screen. In general very good.
Sound - Only to report not complaining about anything the sound is good in many places but fails a lot and got interrupted too.
Playability - Could play only the 1st part of city escape and till 3rd whe was playing along the dark side. Dunno exactly what kind of problem it is but i passed cdmage to detect problems and nothing was found.
Skies Of Arcadia - Everyone knows that the echelon rip doesn't work so i searched a lot to find another version that work with the emu.
Speed- With default settings speed was good some fps drop here and there but nothing that stop the play. The speed here is even bette than sonic cause the game is slow paced and some fps drops doesn't matter at all.
Graphics - With default settings the game shows some glitches but nothing that really hurts. Sometimes the subtitles gets messed up like sonic but not so many times. Again if you turn z write the subs will be fine but blocks will appear in the screen. I advice not turn on this feature.
Use capcom hack the graphical glitches reduces a lot and the image is crispier using it.
Sound- Not very good, dunno is because the rip or the emu but sound is cracked and cut all the time and is very low too.
Playability- If the game wouldn't stop everytime you return from the inventory window and crashes at the first battle in the ship just after the raid on Cygnus it could be fantastic!!!
I got some problems with subtitles just after the mini boss fight agains Antonio dunno if it is a problem with the emu of the rip.
Ikaruga - The games i had now its clearly this one is far away in quality.
Speed- Great!!! Sometimes has fps drops but nothing that stops or really mess the play.
Graphics - Amazing! Almost no glitches at all only some missing textures at the 2 stage but in general the game runs incredibly good.
Sound - My GOD Ikaruga has sooo good musics and the emu plays all in great quality its really impressive!
Playability- Hard to play game cause the game is soo hard!!! But the emu do a great job with this game no complains about anything.
Virtua Athlete 2k- Whe i owned a DC i loved this game to play along my friends its very fun if you play like that.
Speed- In challenges that we have a wide range and many cpu players the fps drops a lot give some difficult to play but anything impossible.
Graphics- Near perfection. Very minor glitches in almost all the game.
Sound- Fails a lot due to a lot drops in fps. Bad till now.
Playability- What i can say is the game is playable with some difficult but for the proposal of the emu, chanka do this job with this game too.
If you can improve its flaws will be great!!!
Im getting other games and i'll try to post my results here asap.
My specs are: AXP3200+ Barton, 1gb 333mhz DDR, AIW R9700 PRO, MSI KT3 Ultra w/Raid mode on stripping.
