Bro! Carmageddon is one of my all time favorite games! Have part 2 on Steam and still play it every once in a while. I so hope Carmageddon 2 gets a similar treatment! I was hopeful that Red Dog source code release would help reverse those games since they were on the same engine. But this is even better! I can't believe I didn't hear about this project sooner.

I was checking out the Bleem version video just yesterday and that seemed to run so close to perfect shame it wasn't fully rendering pedestrians correctly. But that was more or less a version of Carma 2 vehicles.

Descent and Freespace could also be good ones (and ones that more people would care about), but the controls really aren't a good fit for the DC's controller. They aren't even a good fit for keyboard and mouse! :lol:
Honestly wish somebody would port Marathon Trilogy to DC again. Bero's port lacked the most important things, namely no save or mouse/controller support. You only get to play it with keyboard, which sucks so badly. Game itself ran full 60fps.

It is literally the precursor to Halo and the first FPS like true FPS made by Bungie.

With the arcade source code being out in the wild, I think Cruis'n USA would be a great candidate for a Dreamcast port.

Could the Homeworld game be exported to the Dreamcast? It is a PC game from 1999.

Oh, Yakuza and Deus Ex would be incredible, both perfect fits for the DC! I just can’t imagine either one really being feasible on original hardware…

What about some classic FPS like Blood? We have Duke Nukem, even if it is restricted to use with the keyboard and mouse. I’d be more than happy with Blood given the same treatment—has anyone looked into/attempted this?

How possible would it be to make a port of Simpsons Hit and Run, there is a source code from last year of the PC version https://github.com/Svxy/The-Simpsons-Hit-and-Run

If you want to play Halo on dreamcast then this free pc game from 2005 might be a good shot.

Halo Zero

Free pc download from the developers page. The game is 20mb so its a small side scroller that I think would run fine on DC.

Maybe someone could contact the developer for permission to make a DC version. There is a link to the games discord in the support page.

Decompiled Zelda Ocarina of time pc port "Ship of Harkinian" has now reached 1.0 release. It can use either N64 or Gamecube assets. There is source code at the bottom of the page. Obviously there is some work needed to port the code to DC.
