It's interesting to see the comments from those doubting the Dreamcast can run GTA III from places like X and Youtube; although we seem to be pretty much over that hurdle, how far do we think this will get?
Do we reckon we will all be playing on our Dreamcast's in the near future with a burned CD-R with a complete, near enough version of what the PlayStation 2 had?

Probably but I think the ultimate way to play this is going to be not on from a CD
I have no clue why no niche company has tried reproducing GDI CDs

Definitely impressive, granted they need to eventually get this to run without a 32MB mod 98% of the DC community don't have. I'm rooting them on, as it would be very cool to see more contemporary PC ports (using KallistiOS, DreamSDK) created as the developers would have done 25 years ago.

Looking forward to this. If this had come out for DC, it might have been a game changer.

With time I'd like to think the community will most certainly receive a complete and fully functional Dreamcast port that runs perfectly on original hardware. Fingers crossed.

That was resolved loooong ago. It works fine on stock 16MB DCs now.
