Is it possible to port GTA 3 to the Dreamcast?

You know id like to see as a tech demo, emulation of ps2 on Dreamcast, even know it would probably run really bad, it would be most impressive to see

But hey it didn't happen.
So based on dkrazor's post... unless we find a way to finance multiple teams working on a GTA port (for the most part from the ground up) made specifically for the Dreamcast (probably requiring some GDEmu/IDE solution for fast loading).
It will never happen.

So, how about make a crowdfunding? If we all DC fans worldwide unite, we can fund it and make it happen!

it could with some sacrifices

É possível?

Sim, mas não é simples sem vários desenvolvedores e SDK oficial e muitas otimizações específicas do Dreamcast.

I understand, so it's possible.. if you join a good amount of dc fans, you can make this port right? "sorry if my english is wrong and i'm using translator"

I think the Dreamcast is capable of running both GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas.

At least GTA 3 and Vice City have pretty complete opensource ports available, re3 and reVC using librw.
They were taken offline by Take Two but there are lots of forks on GitHub.
They run fine on Linux (tested this myself on Odroid XU4 running Fedora 36) and many other systems, even 3DS.

So I'd say clone the source and start porting using Kos.

The Dreamcast can barely run the port of Mario 64, it will hardly be able to run gta3. RAM memory always runs out before the processor power is exhausted on the Dreamcast, this is inevitable
