Exact same as the PC in almost every aspect with the original but heavy optimized to allow running it on the Dreamcast.



This is a very rought test and playtrought for the mentioned game and altought some problems due the 16bit palette and an engine that doesnt release the ram, it goes pretty well.
I forgot to save in the vmu so all the advance is lost, but anyway is just a video to show it running it with a gdemu and the most up to date Dreambor from Ian.

This couldn't be happening if it wasn't for your extraordinary contribution to the engine.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of these ninja reptiles, but ever since the game was released i thought it might be a good candidate for a Dreamcast port, but the original creator didn't think so and didn't want to help with this conversion.

Im testing the game until the end to find any bugs and problems, however, given the treatment I received in the openbor forum i will share this version for everyone to enjoy and spread everywhere.

SMH there are some really toxic game communities out there. Openbor forum can be that way for sure. They moved away from Dreamcast long ago because of the limited memory and hate when any of us bring it up.

In my time analyzing all these newer games there is one big reason why they run out of memory: too many playable characters. Most old school beat em ups have 2-4 playable characters. Some of these new BOR games have 8+ playable characters.

Another limitation to getting games to work on Dreamcast are the newest scripts that are being used by mod makers. Dreambor doesn't support them at the moment. But I have to discuss this with Ian for future improvement.

Dreambor supports all display outputs but Dreamcast can't process the higher color pallettes fast enough. That's why frame rate drops on 16 bit and 32 bit pallette. Another reason why the openbor forum moved on from Dreamcast.
