Can we maybe see dreamcast ports, like the Super Mario 64 one? What do you think?

Very difficult, the game rom has 32MB, double the ram of the Dreamcast.

I'm not going to say never, but I'd be shocked if it ever happens considering the Mario 64 port is already a miracle that uses almost every bit of memory available, and Ocarina of Time is a larger and more demanding game.

I think that what would be more interesting would be the prospect of using the game's engine to create maybe a new Dreamcast game. Ports between different platforms is an undertaking requiring possibly a number of people with the right equipment and the know-how, who in the end would not get paid for their time. Extremely unlikely combination.

It's one of my favorite game of all time even if I 'm a pure sega sex, but for me it's not a good idea to focus on this game in particular. If one day we have the luck to have a great emulator on dreamcast, but for sure I did it again, but this game in particular had been enhanced in 3DS console, so not a big deal for me.

I prefer a polish version, super mario 64 already great by @mrneo240 due to the very poor switch version.
And Espirral had fabulously had for us a widescreen 16/9 code that Switch don't have !

I'm agree with @megavolt85 to focus on something great like atomiswave because it shows too the possibilities of dreamcast. A zelda ocarina of time, looks normal to run on dreamcast whereas atomiswave are very outstanding.
GTA III, will be a good thing for me because it showed the dreamcast possibilities against its ps2 rival.

But of course I can't choose ^^ I can only support my heroes developers here.

i consumed the cartridge back in the day, for the time spent on it

btw, i would like to see again at least the BIG main map, running on DC
freely going around with Link, without proceed into the gameplay
like i mostly did at the time

the most problematic thing to implement? the main Hyrule map?
