Johnny DreamCastaway
another well made port that deserve more views imo
the 1992 Sierra "the world's first story-telling screen saver" :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Castaway
ported to the Dreamcast, from Hunter Davis
not a playable game, you just watch Johnny doing things day by day on his lost isle
you can find all the port details, the download links, and even the source code on the developer page :

Does this crash/hard freeze after about an hour for anyone else with a GDEMU?

It crashed twice for me and it's when the old pirate ship shows up on the left.

Re: Johnny DreamCastaway
That's a shame, thanks for confirming that for me. Hopefully the developer will release a fixed version one day as I like having it on in the background lol.Johne wrote:Yes, froze for me too.

I couldn't even get it to work with Dreamshell on my other DC, it just reboots the console. Does it play CDI or does it need to be converted?

Re: Johnny DreamCastaway
I dont think this was ever tested on real hardware judging from the website...
