First of all, the Dreamcast isn't fast enough to emulate the N64.
And secondly, the DC has 16MB RAM into which you'd have to fit: the emulator, 4MB RAM of the N64, the ROM, where the smallest commercial game has 8MB I think, and you'll also need a lot of RAM for the translated code when you use a dynamic recompiler, and you'll need one to get more than just a slow-motion emulation.
Add that up: and you'll only have 4MB RAM for the emulator and the translation cache, which isn't much, not to mention that you can rule out all games with a ROM size of over 8MB.
It just isn't worth it.
