Ok here is what I asked him and what he said.

The game doesn't really require anymore code to work on the Dreamcast. No idea whether it can handle the game or not.
And what another guy said.

Looks like it should port quite nicely then.

I asked Clone2727 if it was possible if we could get a current version to test, and he gave me this nightly build.

Anyone know what I need to do with this to test Myst with this on DC?

I was over at the DCEmu forums the other day and noticed I got a message from StryfeDC.
Hi. I glanced over the DC-Talk forums recently, and noticed this question:

My suggestion is to create a boot-disc out of the plain files, and then attempt a disc swap.
If the game is multi-disc, you may or may not be able to copy the needed datafiles "only" onto a separate disc, and then swap for that.
Check the wiki here to see what the required files are:
-
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles#Myst
-
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Dataf ... el_to_Myst
In all reality the nature of the game (it is multi-disc) may prevent it from being playable on the DC. Multi (original) disc swapping is not implemented (as you could find out by searching the ScummVM Dreamcast forum for "The Feeble Files").
You should probably test it with the Windows Demo first, as it is probably smaller.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
- A ScummVM Fan
He seems to think that the multi disc nature of the game will present problems on a Dreamcast port of Myst or Riven. Does anybody here with knowledge of making bootable games want to give this a try and see how playable it is on Dreamcast? Honestly, every time I have tried to make a disc, it fails. I am more of a ready to burn CDI type of man.

Ok, I found out there is a single cd version of Myst, so we can run that game on Dreamcast!
Anyway, feast your eyes on new Myst screenshots!

I am sure there will be. I have never played a ScummVM game, but they are fully supported with saves and joystick I think. This is the best selling PC game of all time, and many casual gamers played it before we called them casual gamers.
