You have to have the source code to port anything or you emulate it or make conversions only if the hardware is the same..

Yes, but this DMC2 source code was stolen illegally from the new Capcom leak. It is not reverse engineered like Super Mario 64 or Driver 2 source was. The SM64 source contrary to popular belief was not acquired from the Nintendo leaks, those were recreated with Ghidra, just like Driver 2. So good luck anybody who touches that code.

But I want to know if the source for RE 1 is included hehe. Would be kick ass to have Directors Cut on DC if somebody ported it anonymously.

Yeah but somebody releases a port with that code and it is not a good look on their portfolio. Even if I were capable of porting games I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole since the source comes from a stolen leak.

Ghidra based decomnpiled sources are the way to go. No real legal basis for repercussions since it is all clean code.

Anthony, great find with the Driver 2! The thought of this game running on Dreamcast is great, but the possibility of people creating mods for it would be even better! Think of all the 'open world' type craziness people could create
