What is the main difference among Reicast, Flycast and BeetleDC?

Previously I can download Reicast Core in PC RetroArch. But now I can only find Flycast Core instead. In Android I can get Reicast, Flycast and BeetleDC. Is there any obvious difference among these cores?

I have tried Reicast and Flycast cores on Android. Seems there is no big difference between them. KOFXI and KOFNW in bin/lst format still can not be played in Android. BeetleDC is missing its Core Info, so I cannot test it right now.

There is no difference, the core simply got renamed after upstream requested it, flycast is the new and definitive name (Beetle DC was a temporary name). I guess we need to cleanup the cores with the old names.

Is there anyway to Compile Flycast for the Switch RA Build? The Reicast Alpha Build worked OK, but would like to see how a more stable Build would do.Same for later MAME Cores.
