Soulcalibur

Does Soulcalibur run on R36S?

Only partly. Dreamcast games are rated Limited on the R36S (RK3326): lighter games run, demanding titles may struggle.

Lighter games and arcade ports (fighting games, 2D-heavy titles) run reasonably in Flycast; demanding ones such as Shenmue II slow down noticeably. Community tests on an R36S rate Crazy Taxi, Power Stone and Sonic Adventure 2 Good. The same holds on every R36 model, because they all use the RK3326 chip.

Made for a 4:3 TV, so it fills the 3.5-inch screen of the R36S, R36 Pro and R36H. On the 4-inch square screen (R36S Plus, R36 Max, R36S Ultra) it shows with bars at the top and bottom.

Ratings are estimates for the whole Dreamcast library on the RK3326 chip, not a test of this one title. Compare R36 models
