Unfortunately with such a slow single core it isn't likely you'll be able to get any games running smoothly on that hardware; the NullDC wiki article calls for at least a 2.6GHz core.
On the bright side you can usually find used dreamcasts pretty cheap nowadays, anywhere from $25-$45, and you can actually burn games straight to CD-Rs and play them that way. Might be worth checking out at some point. For more information including which console versions are compatible with burnt games, check out this thread; http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?54893.
To be honest the state of Dreamcast emulation is still on the low side so having a real console is still the best way to play Dreamcast games, there are even emulators for the Dreamcast and plenty of other homebrew
Yeah. I wanted to play Sonic Adventure 2. Tried the DC version first, but it ran too fast (the clock goes way faster than it should) making it impossible to get anything but E ranks, and the subtitles didn't display properly. Ended up grabbing the Gamecube version instead. Of course, those problems wouldn't happen on real hardware.
