REVIEWING SEGA ARCADE SYSTEMS SIMILAR TO DREAMCAST SPECS...(Only for developers/programmers)

[Ro Magnus Larsson]

DINOSAUR KING (2005)

I WAS SEARCHING ABOUT SEGA ARCADE SYSTEMS/GAMES RELEASED BETWEEN 1998 AND 2008 THAT WOULD HAVE SIMILAR SPECS TO DREAMCAST (WONDERING FOR FUTURE PORTS) AND FOUND THIS GAMES:

SOME OF THEM LIKE "DINOSAUR KING" WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE "SEGA AURORA" ARCADE SYSTEM (OR "SEGA SYSTEM SP") AND HAS THIS SPECS:

Here is a link to the list of sega arcade systems that are related to the dreamcast hardware:

Here's a neat blog post on the dreamcast junkyard with descriptions of these systems as well as some others that share some dna with the dreamcast but have other different hardware or more powerful hardware as well, such as the hikaru and naomi 2.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for ports to dreamcast for the other non-atomiswave sega systems.

That system is substantially more powerful than a Dreamcast. Probably be more work than a Naomi game. Would need source code and more hours than it is worth for a very crippled port.

Ollie King 2004 "Brought to you by the guys who brought you Jet Set Radio Future."

Never heard of this one, but as a huge JSR fan, I would like to try this. Anyone played this game?

SEGa Chihiro's "Ollie King" (2004) begins with the same Software screen as DC games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ90LqictJc&t=108s

Ollie King runs on hardware that is based on the original xbox and is way more powerful than a dreamcast. The most realistic way we'll be able to play it at home is when an original xbox emulator is able to emulate it. As I understand it, the emulator CXBX can boot it and play the attract mode, but the arcade controls aren't emulated yet so its not possible to get further into the game and play it.

SEGA Chihiro's "OutRun 2", fantastic!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTDoViuEz1U
