Hi friend, this is one of the emulations I am personally looking for to do it in Dreamcast, for what I have searched there is 2 emulators: PCECast and DreamEngine

It's possible to do something also with Hucast, but the emulation is far away from full speed, and you will not have musics in game, sometime just sfx;

iirc DreamEngine has no sound at all

I was able to get pcecast to load pce cdroms and down sample the music and plays ok with some frameskip but it was not for the faint of heart to get working on each cdrom game..

a thing to consider about Dracula X is that you need to save the game to avoid to wait the LONG (and boring imo) intro plays... everytime
so i dunno, it is possible to save with pcecast? can't remember at all

Very hard port and would suit using wince dev kit since early version uses directx

Pce cast if we had the src i could fix now with SDL dreamhal which is 2x faster then what it's compiled with and has no gldc opengl hardware rendering
