Of course, there are the obvious ones, but personally I'm going to recommend Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram, Bangai-O, and Metropolis Street Racer.
And Metropolis Street Racer has TJ Davis (from Sonic R) doing vocals in some songs so you know it's good.

don't know how good the market is in your city, but every game shop around here has about a dozen sports games, and usually 1 or 2 "games of quality" that never sell because they're too expensive, like a $100 copy of Ill Bleed or something. Dreamcast market got wiped out here a long time ago.

I have been so unsuccessful the last couple times. Last time the person announced the GDemu was to be available, I kept refreshing around that time, then suddenly no response for a few minutes, next thing I knew the page changed over to "unavailable." Days later I get to read that more than the allotment that was set for the GDemu was received, and will honor even all the overflow. I didn't even get a chance, it took only a couple minutes (?) and I still do not have the chance to order one.

Nice link! I had no clue Metropolis Street Racer got DLC! However, I remember Fire Pro Wrestling D was the first game I noticed to have DLC all free as they were before Xbox just a whole bunch of new moves for even more customization. I do not see that DLC on that page.

Dreamcast systems run about $30-35 in my area at this time. Low enough I decided to get a 2nd one. Sega systems are plenty cheap here, the games are not, so that's why I really want a GDemu.

What are the restrictions or limitations of this device? I'm tired of missing out on a GDemu, and this device is pretty cheap, consider me interested.

I just received my USB GDROM http://3do-renovation.ru/USB-GDROM_Controller.htm

The guy who sells this thing is the problem with this though. Some weird russian guy who had a falling out with StoneAgeGamer cause he was constantly trying to raise the price on them. He charges more based on how fast you want it made before he ships it. Also autistic about people asking if it's available for some odd reason.

Kinda sketchy but me and a few guys I know went for it and there were no issues with the shipping or the units.

Pretty nice, I can use my external with it but it works with USB obviously. I had a broken GDROM drive so i figured why not but I just couldnt wait for the SD GDEMU anymore. So annoying. I'm not fan of this guy but he does a review of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ln04iq5WfA
