Another game that got ported from mobile was an IOS game back in 2009 that was inspired by Lumines called Irides: Master of Blocks. It even had a 3D block that rotated on the title screen. I always thought that game was ported over fairly easily as at the time IOS devices used PVR graphics just like the Dreamcast. So in all honesty, if people REALLY want to see easier ports to DC, look for open sourced IOS games from the early days, The specs were somewhat comparable to Dreamcast in those days with the exception of way more RAM, but it would make a lot more sense trying to port over games from that platform and that era instead of modern Android games. Remember, Android and IOS games from this day and age are light years more advanced than Dreamcast.

Edit: For sure these games would make for good candidates if the developers could be contacted who knows maybe they would let somebody port them over to Dreamcast?

I just found a list of open sourced IOS games that was written in 2012 so definitely includes super early games that could work.

Impossível não é mas são sistemas operacionais diferentes,recursos distintos, o trabalho que você teria recortando o aplicativo para funcionar no Dreamcast,daria pra construir um do início autoral!
