I'm going to guess not due to how odd the Saturn hardware is, but would Saturn titles be transferrable? Sonic R for example?

It's an NRG file. Is there any way to make it compatible with GDEMU?

Could someone make a new port of Project Starfighter?

searching online it looks like the DC port was a port of the linux version and was done in 2010 with a download at dreamcast.es

https://www.dreamcast.es/infusions/down ... oad_id=271

the original developer has continued to update the game. on github the last commit was 9 days ago.
source code is on github and itch.io

https://github.com/pr-starfighter/starf ... s/tag/v2.4
https://diligentcircle.itch.io/starfighter

here is a cover from DCFanatic for gdemu

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance? Deception has the open world which might be pushing it too far, but Deadly Alliance is a good Kombat game (far better than 4 and Gold) and not too different in gameplay. Better graphics and gameplay though.

Other than Driver 2 and GTA3, which I think at least one of will end up being ported in time, I would love to see TOCA Race Driver on the Dreamcast. (Or at least, any of the TOCA games.)



It could have more than run it, as it runs another alike racing game from the time - Le Mans 24 Hours. Too bad the code for TOCA is not out. Maybe Le Mans could be modded by porting the rides and tracks into it from TOCA - so pretty much freshly building a game like TOCA over the workings of Le Mans.

Some of the arcade games requested here probably won't happen unless you have the double ram mod on your dreamcast or unless source code is released for those games
